Frequently Asked Questions
Is BH Craig the original 1951 firm?
BH Craig Construction was incorporated in Florence on November 11, 1951 by founder Ben H. Craig and has run continuously from the same Wall Street headquarters since. Three generations of leadership later, the firm still handles commercial concrete, industrial work, and utility infrastructure projects across the Southeast under the same family name.
Does the firm do residential driveways?
BH Craig Construction works primarily commercial and industrial concrete rather than residential driveways and patios. The shop's project mix and equipment are scaled for larger pours like industrial slabs and structural concrete, which makes it a less common pick for typical homeowner driveway work.
What are concrete forms?
BH Craig Construction builds concrete forms in-house, which are the temporary structures that hold concrete in place until it cures into its final shape. Forms work is the technically demanding side of concrete construction, since proper forming directly affects the final structure's strength and dimensional accuracy.
Does the shop pour industrial slabs?
BH Craig Construction pours industrial slabs alongside foundations and structural concrete, with rebar placement, vapor barriers, and proper curing as part of standard scope. Industrial slabs need higher psi concrete and tighter flatness tolerances than residential work, which is why most general contractors subcontract them rather than running them in-house.
How long has the firm been BBB-accredited?
BH Craig Construction is BBB-accredited as a concrete construction and forms contractor and has held the accreditation for decades. BBB accreditation puts proof of insurance, license history, and dispute resolution on the public record, which matters most when commercial owners are vetting contractors for large projects.
Where does the firm work?
BH Craig Construction has worked the Southeast for more than 70 years from its Florence headquarters on Wall Street. Local Shoals projects route through the same dispatch in Florence, Muscle Shoals, Sheffield, Tuscumbia, and the river-corridor industrial customers.
