Construction firms that maintain leadership continuity while expanding into new markets can provide greater stability for project owners, developers and trade partners. Alcorn Construction's 18-year milestone reflects a period of sustained growth that includes geographic expansion, larger project delivery capabilities and a planned ownership transition designed to support long-term operations.
Founded in July 2008 by Chris and Amy Alcorn during the economic downturn, Alcorn Construction initially focused on tenant improvement work before broadening its portfolio as market conditions improved. The company steadily expanded its workforce, secured increasingly larger projects and established operational systems that supported continued growth.
Earlier in 2026, Alcorn Construction completed a majority ownership transition to President and CEO Derek Simpson. The succession followed several years of leadership development, with Simpson already overseeing the company's day-to-day operations before assuming majority ownership. Chris and Amy Alcorn remain involved with the business and continue supporting client relationships and strategic initiatives.
Over the past 18 years, Alcorn Construction has expanded beyond its Colorado base by opening a Phoenix office in 2022, extending its services into Arizona. The company also progressed from tenant improvement work to larger ground-up construction projects while increasing annual revenue over successive growth milestones.
According to Alcorn Construction, the contractor has now completed more than 600 projects and operates as a general contractor with approximately $100 million in annual revenue, serving clients across Colorado and Arizona.
Planned leadership transitions have become an increasingly important consideration for construction owners and project partners evaluating long-term contractor relationships. Companies that combine executive succession planning with geographic expansion and operational continuity can help reduce uncertainty for clients managing multi-year capital programs.
Alcorn Construction's latest milestone demonstrates how sustained business growth, market expansion and structured leadership succession can position regional contractors to support future commercial construction opportunities while maintaining established client relationships.
