Our Goal: To be the Best Builder in America

Being the Best Builder in America is our never-ending quest. It’s our way of recognizing that while we accomplish great things, we can always find new ways to improve outcomes for our clients. Three core values guide our mission, culture, and how we approach our work:

Genuine - Respect for the work we do and the people who do it, recognized for being honest and following through on commitments.
We, Not I - Belief in the power of teamwork and a consistent habit of sharing credit.
All In - Fully committed and a reputation as someone people can count on to do whatever it takes to get the job done.

A Genuine Culture of Safety

Safety is always the most important thing we do, and our goal is to not only be the Best Builder in America, but the safest. Our embedded safety culture starts with ownership — for every one of our employees, safety is at the heart of what we do, because simply, it’s the right thing to do. That’s why we’re regularly recognized as an industry leader in safety. Safety also includes the health and well-being of our employees. Our extensive wellness program encourages and rewards healthy life choices.

Accomplishing Great Things, Together

We focus on recruiting, training and retaining the best people in our industry while maintaining a thriving ownership culture that helps us deliver incredible results for our clients. A career at McCarthy begins with a desire to do outstanding work — and to be part of something special. It takes a well-crafted team to plan, build and collaborate with our clients to maximize the value we provide to their project.

Proud Community Builders

We’re proud to be a community builder with national resources, deeply embedded in the communities we serve. With 17 full-service offices across the country, we can help our clients build facilities in their communities no matter where they are located. In addition to building the facilities our communities need, we’re committed to giving back where we live and work. Through Heart Hats, our charitable foundation, McCarthy and our employees have given back more than $20 million to the communities we call home.
