2. A Message from the Director
Almost twenty years ago Grady P. Graham dreamed of building a construction company that
would be committed to providing prompt, professional and courteous service throughout the
midwest. In 1991 we began the journey of what now has become Graham Construction Corp.
We believe developing the right team for each individual project is crucial for the success of
the job. To develop the right team you must recognize the special talents of the individuals
involved and make them accountable. The best advice I have ever received is hire the best and
retain them. This is a benefit not only for our company but our clients as well. I also believe
working together is the ultimate key for success in the construction field. Good contractor/
client relationships are the lifeblood of our business and the foundation of our future.
Our open book policy, keeping our clients honestly informed every step of the way on their
construction projects, is fundamental in upholding and cultivating those relationships. We ask
a lot of questions and encourage you to do the same.
Thank you for sharing your time and interest in our company. Myself and staff are hoping for
the opportunity to be considered as a partner in your future construction services needs.
Ryan P. McGraw
Director of Business Development

4. Our diverse clientele from several markets have repeatedly selected Graham Construction Corp.
as their partners in building. The long list of these institutions that engage Graham Construction
Corp. is a testament to our company’s quality of work under extremely challenging conditions.
Michigan Cardiovascular Institute, Einstein Bagels, Clare Community Federal Credit Unions,
SVSU, Hemlock Semi-Conductor, Dow Corning, Dow Chemical, Burger King, Subway, multiple
dentistry firms and airports are but a few of the long term relationships we have built. Our
ability to work throughout the Midwest has led to some very valuable relationships along with
the unique understanding of handling each locations community with care and discipline.
Our construction teams understand the critical demands on constructing and renovating your
facilities. From simple changes to broad strategic thinking, our teams are charged with looking
for innovative solutions that produce improved results – lower costs, higher value and shorter
durations.
Our unique ability to typically self-perform 40-50% of the work coupled with our own
custom millwork facility greatly reduces the potential for delays, cost overruns, and
quality problems.
We work closely with our clients to overcome the challenges inherent to construction projects
and to provide maximum reliability at minimum cost. By consistently rising to the very highest
standards of quality in design and construction – with no excuses, ever – we build the best for
the least and in the shortest time.
Graham Construction Corp. can provide single-source responsibility to its
clients for all services required to implement a construction project from
conception through completion and operation.
