Full-scope delivery, one accountable contractor.
From ground-up construction to specialized market sectors, American Elite Contractors directly supervises every trade across sixteen capability areas — commercial, institutional, and public work delivered in occupied and active environments.
01 — GROUND-UP CONSTRUCTION
Ground-Up Construction
New construction from foundation to final walkthrough for commercial, retail, and mixed-use projects across New York City — every trade directly supervised, permit to occupancy.
02 — RETAIL CONSTRUCTION
Retail Construction
Retail build-outs and rollout programs for national and regional brands, delivered on tenant-improvement timelines without disrupting neighboring occupied units.
03 — INTERIOR FIT-OUTS
Interior Fit-Outs
Office, retail, and commercial interior build-outs — layout, finishes, and MEP coordination handled start to finish, on occupied or vacant floors.
04 — RENOVATIONS
Renovations
Full and partial renovations of occupied and vacant commercial buildings, sequenced to keep operations running and minimize disruption to tenants.
05 — PRECONSTRUCTION
Preconstruction
Budget pricing, constructability review, and schedule development before ground breaks — so owners know real numbers before committing to design.
06 — CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
Construction Management
Budget, schedule, and trade coordination from preconstruction through closeout — keeping owners informed and projects moving on occupied or vacant sites.
07 — DESIGN-BUILD
Design-Build
Design and construction under one contract, one point of accountability — built to compress schedule and reduce coordination risk for commercial and retail clients.
08 — MULTIFAMILY & RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT
Multifamily and Residential Development
Ground-up multifamily, conversions, and gut renovation of residential buildings. Unit-by-unit sequencing, common area and building system upgrades, and phased delivery in occupied properties.
09 — HEALTHCARE & MEDICAL OFFICE
Healthcare and Medical Office
Medical office build-outs, dental and specialty suites, imaging and procedure rooms, and clinical renovations in occupied facilities. Infection control protocols, phased shutdowns, and DOH coordination handled as schedule items from day one.

Restaurant, hotel, and hospitality build-outs delivered around health department, fire, and liquor licensing timelines, with kitchen and back-of-house systems coordinated from day one.

Warehouse, distribution, and light industrial construction and conversion. Slabs, loading infrastructure, high-bay systems, racking coordination, and power upgrades.

Government and Institutional
Public agency and institutional construction delivered to the compliance, documentation, and prevailing-wage standards that government contracts require.
13 — INFRASTRUCTURE & UTILITY
Infrastructure and Utility
Utility infrastructure and public works construction delivered under active-facility conditions — coordinated shutdowns, restricted access, and continuous operations that cannot be interrupted. Past clients include the MTA and National Grid.
14 — EDUCATION & INSTITUTIONAL
Education and Institutional
Schools, universities, and institutional facilities. Summer-window and off-hours delivery, occupied-campus phasing, and the documentation public institutional work requires.
15 — DEMOLITION & SITE WORK
Demolition and Site Work
Structural and interior demolition, excavation, foundations, underpinning, and site preparation. Permit coordination, protection of adjacent structures, and abatement sequenced before mobilization.
16 — ENVIRONMENTAL REMEDIATION COORDINATION
Environmental Remediation Coordination
Asbestos abatement, lead abatement, and mold remediation coordinated through licensed environmental contractors — scheduled and cleared ahead of construction so demolition is never the thing holding up your critical path.
