5 Construction Companies Owned And Operated By Black Women
Aspire Construction
Aspire Construction is based in Atlanta and was founded by Amber Lawson. Lawson graduated from Southern Polytechnic State University with a major in Construction Management and worked as a property manager before transitioning into construction.
From renovations to new structures, clients can get it all done with Aspire. Lawson said to Rolling Out about Aspire “We’re a one-stop-shop for design, architecture, engineering and construction, so when a client comes to us, they only have to talk to us to get their project done.”
During the pandemic, the multi-talented trailblazer took to building tiny houses, which was of particular significance to her. Lawson said in the same Rolling Out interview, “It’s such a passion project because I feel like there is an opportunity in our community to benefit greatly…What if you could put a tiny house in the backyard and create passive income, or an extended family member can live in here, and now you have a stronger family [like] we grew up with where my grandma lived down the street and auntie around the corner. You can create an ecosystem that sets people up for success.”
