Our History

Adams-Bickel Associates, LLC
Adams-Bickel Associates, LLC has a long history, which can be traced back to the 1940s. Originally incorporated as Adams-Bickel Associates, Inc., the company was re-organized in 2013, as it prepared to enter a new stage of expansion. Since then, Adams-Bickel has been on a course of rapid growth, positioning itself as a General Contracting and Construction Management leader in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and Delaware.

In 1947, the Company was founded by Walter J. Adams who earned a reputation for excellence as a residential and commercial builder. In 1979, H. James Bickel joined the firm, which was shortly after incorporated as Adams-Bickel Associates, Inc. Later, in 1986, Gustavo I. Perea joined the Company, and he eventually became an owner in 2003. During this period, the Company grew from doing $5 million to $50 million in annual revenues, and it became a highly respected and recognized firm in the mid-Atlantic region.

Following H. James Bickel’s retirement in early 2013, the Company re-organized as Adams-Bickel Associates, LLC under the leadership of Mr. Perea and his partner, Joseph P. Bello, Jr. With their direction and a great team in place, the Company has continued to expand, particularly within the commercial, industrial, and institutional markets. Adams-Bickel has developed a reputation for high quality work and superior client satisfaction in a diverse range of markets, including:

  • Industrial
  • Commercial
  • Institutional
  • Educational
  • Religious
  • Healthcare
  • Multi-Family

Adams-Bickel has proven results in all phases of Construction Management and General Contracting. The Company offers value engineering, preliminary estimates, and plan and specification review.

Adams-Bickel’s reputation for working with all kinds of materials to achieve the dramatic or subtle goals of the design professional is built on the talents of its team. All employees receive continual training in their craft, as well as in safety, problem resolution, and client service. Further, the Company is a proponent of partnering with owners, design professionals, and specialty contractors involved in each project. Low associate turnover, a high rate of repeat business, and a strong “referral” pipeline speak to Adams-Bickel’s commitment to the highest quality craftsmanship and long-term relationships.

Adams-Bickel is a long-standing member of the Eastern Pennsylvania Chapter of Associated Builders & Contractors (ABC).

TESTIMONIALS

Opening Quote

I greatly appreciated AdamsBickel's work in constructing two renovation projects simultaneously on the Swarthmore College campus.  Their procurement was thorough - getting good subcontractors and competitive pricing.  I appreciated their superintendent's anticipation of upcoming tasks and courtesy in communicating with staff working adjacent to the construction.
