Who We Are
A Legacy Built on Trust
A family-owned company, Acadians Construction began its existence in 1962. For more than six decades, we have operated with traditional, family-based values such as loyalty, honesty, and a strong work ethic — values that remain the foundation of everything we do today.
Acadians was founded by Arthur J. Harrington in 1962 with a crew of six and a commitment to delivering quality that communities could depend on. His first projects set the tone for what would become a regional institution.
