Axiom Constructors was founded by Richard Jessop who grew up in the trade and worked for a number of small concrete contractors. Initially focusing on residential and small commercial projects, the business quickly expanded when interested General Contractors took notice of the quality and timeliness of Axiom Constructors work.
Richard envisioned and believed there was a better way to serve both General Contractors and employees, so he created a new company, Axiom Constructors to embody his vision. From humble beginnings starting in 2012, Richard has grown the company exponentially while never wavering from his passion of providing timely, high quality solutions at a fair price.
