Our History
Malone Construction Company was founded in 1946 by Cecil Malone. The leadership reigns were passed on to Kirk Malone in 1997. We hold true to the values established by Cecil and remain committed to craftsmanship and customer service. We know that our success in providing quality general contracting services has always been dependent on the talent and commitment of our employees. Malone has been fortunate to acquire and retain many talented people who are committed to our company and our clients.
Over the decades, we have grown and changed with the construction and real estate industries in Atlanta. We have succeeded in establishing ourselves as one of the most prominent commercial interiors firms in Atlanta and have utilized our resources to become one of the premiere builders of luxury residences for some of the most influential Atlanta families. We are also growing our company by expanding into the base building construction market. We believe that the attention to detail established over the years in our interiors market will enable us to bring a higher level of service and craftsmanship to the base building market.
