About the company

Branscome is a vertically integrated heavy highway and general contracting firm in the Mid-Atlantic that manages the full construction process from design and site work to material supply and project completion. It designs, builds, and supplies asphalt, aggregates, sand, borrow, and ready-mix concrete, and operates its own asphalt plants with an on-site lab to create custom mixes. The company stands out by controlling multiple project stages in-house—materials production, construction services, and quality testing—and by offering proprietary products like FiberMat, with a focus on recycled asphalt and concrete in production. Its goal is to deliver reliable, comprehensive infrastructure solutions for public and private clients and to grow as a major regional contractor under Adams Construction Company.
