About us

A Birmingham builder that knows the business behind the building.

United Contracting & Design was formed in 2020 and has held an unlimited Alabama general contractor license since 2021. Our team brings 69 years of combined construction experience to convenience stores, fuel stations, restaurants, public buildings and retail spaces across Central Alabama. We don't just build stores — our owners run c-stores themselves, so we understand what a store needs to make money on day one.

From first sketch to final walkthrough, you get clear communication, honest numbers and a crew that does it right when no one is looking.

Owner's perspective

We operate stores too. Layout, flow and equipment get planned around how the business actually runs.

Straight answers

Real business expertise to help you make sound decisions, and full transparency through the whole build — so there are no surprises at closeout.

Detail that lasts

Driven by detail, defined by quality — the finish work customers see and the work behind the walls they don't.
