American International Contractors is a design-build construction firm headquartered in Arlington, Virginia, specializing in U.S.-funded infrastructure and secure government facilities overseas. Established in 1974 and operating under its current name since 1989, the company has spent over five decades executing projects across the Middle East, Africa, Asia, and Europe for major U.S. government clients including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Naval Facilities Engineering Command, the U.S. Agency for International Development, and the State Department's Bureau of Overseas Buildings Operations.
The company operates through two primary service lines. Its core design-build services provide single-point responsibility for project delivery, combining design and construction management. For execution, American International Contractors employs flexible delivery methods: self-performance using company-employed crews and resources, or subcontractor management when appropriate. This operational flexibility enables the firm to adapt to project requirements while maintaining quality and safety standards.
In 2005, the company established AICI-SP (Special Projects), a subsidiary dedicated to secure construction projects for U.S. government facilities overseas. This specialization reflects the firm's positioning within the government contracting sector and its emphasis on delivering quality facilities on schedule while maintaining rigorous safety protocols and cost efficiency.
