At Serviam, we build with clarity, act with integrity, and always stay curious.

We have one mission: To serve you. We are a service disabled, veteran and disadvantaged woman owned Small Business General Contractor located in Central Pennsylvania and Upstate New York. From the time we begin the project we’re more than your average builder. We give life to the concept that is in every way yours to feel proud of. Whether it is new construction, design/build, a renovation, or maintenance, we will provide you with the quality and commitment you deserve.

About Us

Founded in 2012 and headquartered in Altoona, Pennsylvania, Serviam Construction is a general contractor built on military leadership, proven construction experience, and an unwavering commitment to service.

Our name, Serviam, means “I will serve” in Latin - a principle that guides every project we undertake. As a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) and Disadvantaged Woman-Owned Business (DWOB), we set ourselves apart by putting our clients, our veterans, & the quality of our work first.

From planning through completion, we deliver high-quality construction and a dependable, client-focused experience rooted in integrity, discipline, and accountability.
