BL Harbert International
Huntsville, Alabama 35804
International commercial general contractor with a Huntsville office handling federal and institutional work.
About
BL Harbert International is headquartered in Birmingham and maintains a Huntsville office at P.O. Box 18067 in ZIP 35804. The firm is one of the few US-based GCs that handles international embassy and federal facility construction alongside its domestic commercial portfolio — a scope that requires security clearances and federal procurement experience few other contractors maintain.
The Huntsville office leverages this federal experience for work tied to Redstone Arsenal and federal aerospace facilities. Domestic commercial work covers healthcare, higher education, hospitality, and corporate office construction at scales that match the firm's resources.
Federal contract experience and the international scope distinguish BL Harbert from regional-only commercial GCs. Reach the Huntsville office at (256) 759-2790.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does international embassy construction involve?
BL Harbert International is one of the few US contractors with embassy construction experience, which involves State Department-cleared crews, secure construction practices, and federal procurement compliance. The Huntsville office's work for federal aerospace facilities draws on the same security and federal contracting expertise that supports international embassy work.
Does BL Harbert do residential work?
BL Harbert International is a commercial-only contractor — federal, healthcare, hospitality, education, and large corporate construction. The firm doesn't take on residential single-family work, custom homes, or small remodels. Residential customers should look to GCs whose business model is built around residential clients.
How does federal contracting experience matter for Huntsville?
BL Harbert International's federal experience matches Huntsville's economy because much of the city's commercial construction demand comes from federal sources — Redstone Arsenal, NASA Marshall Space Flight Center, and federal aerospace and defense contractors. The federal procurement and security experience translates directly to those local projects.
What's the typical Huntsville project for BL Harbert?
BL Harbert International's typical Huntsville project runs in the multi-million-dollar to nine-figure range — aerospace and defense facilities, healthcare construction, and federal building work tied to Redstone Arsenal. Smaller commercial work is generally outside the firm's primary focus area.
Where is BL Harbert headquartered versus the Huntsville office?
BL Harbert International is headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama with the Huntsville office operating as a branch. The firm has multiple US offices and international operations supporting embassy and overseas commercial work. The Huntsville branch combines local market presence with the firm's broader resource base for federal and large-scale commercial projects.
How does the bidding process work?
BL Harbert International responds to formal RFPs and pre-construction inquiries through the Huntsville office at (256) 759-2790. For federal projects, bidding follows federal procurement rules with specific qualification and security requirements. Commercial bidding generally begins with project scope review before formal pricing engagement.
