R. C. Stevens Construction Co. Celebrates 95th Anniversary

WINTER GARDEN, Florida, March 30, 2021—R. C. Stevens Construction Co., a leading commercial and industrial construction company, today announced the celebration of its 95th anniversary. Founded in 1926 by Raymond C. Stevens, a pioneer in the design-build construction process, the company was the first general contracting firm in the Orlando, Florida, phone book.

A builder and architect, Stevens initially worked as a homebuilder before transitioning to the commercial and industrial construction sectors. Today, R. C. Stevens specializes in commercial, financial, healthcare, process/manufacturing and renovation construction projects in the Southeast, serving clients such as Coca-Cola North America, PepsiCo, Orlando Health, Nemours Children’s Hospital and Toufayan Bakeries.

“I am incredibly humbled to be at the helm of R. C. Stevens as we celebrate 95 years of rich history,” said Tim M. Keating, president and third-generation owner of R. C. Stevens. “Ray continuously led with his core principles of integrity, innovation and quality, which have guided how R. C. Stevens does business for nearly a century. As we look to the future, I know we will continue to build on that experience to be valuable partners for our clients, foster growth for our employees and serve our community.”

Stevens’ work has received a number of Excellence in Construction® awards from Associated Builders and Contractors, a Washington, D.C.-based construction trade association.
