Rebuilding Our Community One Block At A Time. The UJAMAA Way.

关于我们

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.

    From the job site to the boardroom, women are shaping the future of construction with innovation, resilience, and expertise. As we celebrate Women in Construction Week, UJAMAA Construction?recognizes the incredible contributions of women who are laying the foundation for a more inclusive, diverse, and dynamic industry. "Know your stuff and trust your gut.?By having the confidence and the self-awareness of knowing your strengths and weaknesses you will “know when to hold 'em, Know when to fold 'em, Know when to walk away, And when to run.” Sorry, that’s one of my favorite songs. Being a woman in construction means working in a traditionally male-dominated industry, often facing challenges related to gender stereotypes, but also having the opportunity to bring unique perspectives and skills to an ever-evolving field." -Jessica Archibald Senior Project Manager – UJAMAA Construction #UJAMAAConstruction #UJAMAASE #WomenInConstruction #WICWeek #TogetherWeRise

"Breaking into and advancing in the construction industry as a woman can be both challenging and rewarding. Build a strong foundation of knowledge that includes onsite experience, education, and technologies. Be confident. Find a mentor. Get certifications. Join organizations like NAWIC. Never STOP learning. Being a woman in construction mean overcoming obstacles, challenging stereotypes, bringing a unique perspective to our industry. Gender has no bearing on her ability to excel in this industry. My ultimate hope is that the construction industry becomes a place where women feel empowered to pursue their dreams without limitations. I see it as my responsibility to help mentor and inspire women so that we are norm and not the exception." -AnneMarie Kulanda Senior Project Manager – UJAMAA Construction #UJAMAAConstruction #UJAMAASE #WomenInConstruction #WICWeek #TogetherWeRise

  • As we continue to celebrate Women in Construction Week, we’re spotlighting Taylor Dalrymple, a shining example of perseverance and success in the industry.

Taylor’s story is a testament to the power of opportunity and determination. She embraced the tools, training, and hands-on experience to forge her path, inspiring the next generation of women in the field. Her journey is proof that construction isn’t just a job—it’s a career filled with limitless potential. To all the women considering a future in construction: This industry needs you.

  • From the job site to the boardroom, women are shaping the future of construction with innovation, resilience, and expertise. As we celebrate Women in Construction Week, UJAMAA Construction?recognizes the incredible contributions of women who are laying the foundation for a more inclusive, diverse, and dynamic industry. “Being a woman in construction is empowering to me. In my career, I have faced my challenges with resilience and strength. Navigating through proving my skills and challenging stereotypes and proving that gender does not define capability in a physically demanding and traditionally male-dominated field. The future generation of women will be strong! There are so many women in this industry who will be able to advocate for the new project engineer on the team and mentor other women throughout the company. Bri’Shae Anderson, an Engineer at Turner Construction, has been that mentor and advocator to me, from our time as students at North Carolina A & T University to both leading major projects in Chicago, Bri’Shae has been an amazing source of information and reassurance when I am feeling doubtful. Meaningful mentorship is what will keep the next generation of women in construction strong and dedicated!” -Allyssa Wilson Special Projects Manager – UJAMAA Construction #UJAMAAConstruction #UJAMAASE #WomenInConstruction #WICWeek #TogetherWeRise

    At UJAMAA Construction, we proudly celebrate the Black pioneers who have shaped the construction industry. Through our Honoring Black History series, we have recognized the trailblazers whose contributions broke barriers, fueled innovation, and paved the way for future generations. As we conclude this series, we pay special tribute to Mamon Powers, Sr., a visionary leader whose legacy continues to inspire excellence and progress in construction. His dedication, resilience, and commitment to community empowerment remind us that the foundations we build today shape the opportunities of tomorrow. ? Mamon Powers, Sr. was more than a builder—he was a trailblazer who reshaped the construction industry and opened doors for future generations. As Indiana’s first Black apprentice, he broke barriers and laid the foundation for success, working under real estate pioneer Andrew Means before launching his own company, Powers & Sons Construction. His influence extended far beyond his own firm—he paved the way for other Black-owned construction businesses to compete for large-scale projects in industrial, commercial, and institutional sectors. Through partnerships with U.S. Steel, Amoco, Ford Motor Company, and McDonald’s, he demonstrated that minority-owned firms could excel in a historically exclusive industry. ? Mamon Powers Sr. also championed workforce development, ensuring that African Americans had opportunities in the trades and leadership roles within the industry. By mentoring young professionals and advocating for diversity in construction, he helped shape a more inclusive future and proved that resilience, vision, and leadership could break barriers and create lasting change—not just in business, but in communities. His story is a testament to perseverance, representation, and the power of building a legacy. ? #HonoringBlackHistory #UJAMAAConstruction #MamonPowersSr. #BuildingLegacies #TheUJAMAAWay
