UJAMAA Construction Information

Ujamaa Construction (“UJAMAA”) was founded in 2002 by Jimmy Akintonde to create a working organization that pays an equal amount of attention to quality of completed projects, safety of our employees, social responsibility, sustainability, corporate profitability, and citizenship within our communities. He identified a lack of quality construction services that incorporated the community. Before long, UJAMAA experienced explosive growth, eventually opening an office in Atlanta, Georgia in 2017. Time and again, our team proved that socially responsible construction is not a hindrance to timely and professional work. On the contrary, our work has shown that having values rooted in the community only enhances the work we do and our reputation among community members and business owners alike. The company continues to maintain this balance of corporate governance and social responsibility, striving to bring diversity into the workplace and provide employment opportunities to the underserved. We see the faces of the people who are impacted by every successful project we complete – our clients and their employees, their customers who utilize or patronize the facilities, our staff of professionals and subcontractors, and the community as a whole that is enriched by the development and the services it provides. Buildings aren’t just structures; they are robust communities. With social responsibility, innovation, and sustainability as part of our founding principles, we are truly a melting pot of people, ideas, and perspectives. Through empowering our people, we are able to create new possibilities for the world around us. It takes a village to raise a child and a community to build a building. UJAMAA Construction promotes a culture of trust, learning, collaboration, and innovation. Our team will bring the right principles, structure, and tools to facilitate the type of culture that will contribute significantly to the success of the projects we execute.
