Integrity, Trust, Quality and Safety
McDonald York has steadily grown from a small general contracting company begun in Raleigh, North Carolina in 1910 into one of the Triangle's most experienced and respected providers of construction services. We oversee projects ranging from small interior renovations to some of the most recognizable architectural landmarks throughout the Triangle.
We approach each project with a cooperative mind-set, working with clients, architects, and subcontractors toward the common goal - successful project delivery. Our diverse construction portfolio and specialized divisions ensure that each project is matched with appropriate resources and expertise. Through technical skills, preconstruction know-how, and self performance capability, we anticipate project challenges, develop solutions that meet clients' objectives, and deliver award-winning projects.
Our current revenue is a far cry from founder C.V. York's fee for our first construction project in Raleigh almost a century ago. On the surface, the differences between the company of the early 1900's and the McDonald York of today are vast. However, there are key deep-seated elements that remain at our core - values and principles, talent and hard work - that account for the reason McDonald York has the skilled personnel, clientele, and reputation it does today
In fact, McDonald York's reputation has become one of our most important assets. That reputation is - and continues to be - founded on the integrity of our employees. Conducting business with a strong sense of ethics and fairness is paramount to our continued success. We hold our work and employees up to the highest moral, ethical and professional standards, because doing what is fair just never gets old.

Build it right...the first time.
Becoming the Triangle's best builder involves more than simply putting that slogan up on a sign in a company's lobby. It takes a company wide passion to deliver on the promise of delivering quality construction to each and every client.
We have invested in a Total Quality Management Program and have put in place specific quality-based procedures, while heavily investing in training our personnel.
We avoid the "inspecting then rejection" mode of operation by directing quality management to our subcontractors and tradesmen responsible for performing the work.
Every McDonald York project has put quality programs into place and, more importantly, every employee understands and embraces why we are going to such extraordinary steps. We proudly build it right the first time.
It's in the details.
McDonald York understands that construction means more than simply following drawings and making sure a building is up to code. It is about making the client's and architect's visions come to life. This means that details are as important as the bigger picture - the way a joint fits together, the careful installation of materials to showcase their beauty, the tweak of building systems to ensure maximum operational efficiency.
We are forward-thinking.
Success is a journey, not a destination. McDonald York's founders saw the potential they had to offer when they began McDonald York Building Company. Today, this potential translates into providing specialized services to all our clients in the Triangle region. Our family-styled approach to providing these services is what helps us maintain our reputation as a leader in the area's construction market.
Our focus is to become an active member of the client's project team - a readily available, reliable and knowledgeable family member. Today, McDonald York is sharpening our ability to recognize innovative technical and construction practices in order to broaden and strengthen the many services we provide our clients.
