It’s Deeper Than Roots
Our Legacy
- Schimenti Construction, founded in 1997 by Matthew Schimenti, represents the third generation of a family that can trace its roots in the construction industry to the 1960s.
- Matthew’s father, Donald, had apprenticed with his own father, Michael, in the 1960’s prior to founding AMD Construction in 1971. Michael Schimenti was an architect who designed and built large scale projects, office towers, schools and apartment complexes with his partner, Max Wechsler.
- With exceptional family history in the construction industry, Matt used his extensive knowledge and experience to create a construction company focused on quality. His passion for excellence, communication and timeliness has resulted in a company that provides the highest quality of service to the retail and construction industries.
Social Responsibility
Build Responsibly
We embrace our duty to act as a good corporate citizen, supporting our industry, our natural and built spaces, our communities, and our people. Our comprehensive strategy to build responsibly includes initiatives that empower our people, emphasize safety and wellness, improve diversity ratios across the board, and encourage sustainable practices.
As a company and as individual employees, the people of Schimenti are dedicated to being good neighbors through ongoing community involvement, sponsorships, annual events with Habitat for Humanity, local schools, neighborhood outreach and peer mentoring programs.
Building Our Communities
Our Initiatives
Health, Safety, & Wellness
We put the health, safety, and wellness of our people, clients, and subcontractors at the forefront of our business. With an industry-leading EMR score of 0.72, we are in the top 10% of general contractors in the country.
Committed to the Environment
Schimenti has completed multiple LEED-accredited projects and maintains strategic partnerships with environmental consultants Crescent and Eunomia, demonstrating our commitment to supporting our clients in achieving their sustainability goals and ensuring projects adhere to environmental standards while minimizing waste. Our process begins with scoping to assess the quantities, types, and properties of waste generated by various on-site activities. This initial phase collects essential data, enabling the team to evaluate on-site and off-site reuse and recycling opportunities. Additionally, zero waste requirements are developed for RFPs, and subcontractor responses are thoroughly evaluated to maintain compliance. Our approach also includes the development and ongoing maintenance of a site waste management plan and the consolidation of all waste management data to document our clients’ sustainability goals.
Diverse Subcontractor Spend
We build inclusion into our procurement process and are developing a strategy to grow our diverse supplier base with MWBE trade contractors, suppliers, and professional services firms.
Diversity & Development
Schimenti signed the AGC Culture of Care pledge, an initiative to advance the construction industry as the industry of choice for diverse and talented workers by building inclusive work environments in construction firms nationwide.
We actively participate in the ConstructReach program, a workforce development program connecting general contractors with minority interns and offering experiences that expose a diverse population to sustainable careers in construction. Schimenti has hired several interns for full-time positions following the completion of their internships, and we continue to use this as a pipeline for new talent.
ACE Mentor Program
Schimenti is a dedicated member of the ACE Mentor Program, providing mentorship opportunities to high school students looking to join the A/E/C field. We sponsor college scholarships for college-bound seniors intending to pursue careers in the design and construction industry.
Recruitment Strategies
Our success in the recruitment of top talent is rooted in our commitment to engaging with a diverse pool of candidates, colleges, and diversity-centric resources.
Gender Ratios
We’re proud to employ a workforce that is 20% female – 10% more than the industry average and our ranks continue to grow.
