History

Barbara Armand, the President and C.E.O. of Armand Corporation, has extensive experience in the engineering and construction management fields. The foundation of her training took place in the nuclear power industry, working for clients that included Nebraska Public Power District, Texas Utilities, New York Power Authority and Northeast Utilities. Building on that experience, Barbara prepared a meticulous plan to create the structure and organization for what is now the Armand Corporation.
Since the company's inception, Armand Corporation has successfully conceived and implemented numerous and varied projects in engineering and construction management. The company's experience encompasses a variety of markets including transportation, utilities, educational, commercial building, housing and institutional facilities. Armand Corporation has had substantial involvement in projects with construction values from $500,000 to $1,200,000,000.

The staff of Armand Corporation consists of personnel with comprehensive backgrounds and experience. We take pride in our diverse personnel, which utilize their skills and experience to collaborate and adapt to a wide variety of roles on any project.
Message from the President
It seems like only yesterday, but in April 2011, we celebrated our twentieth year in business! Over the years, we have earned many tributes and awards, including the Philadelphia Business Journal's recognition as one of the region's "fastest growing privately-held businesses"('95), the Camden County Economic Development Award ('98), and the United States Small Business Administration's 'Small Business Person of the Year Award' ('97).
As a company, we continue to focus our attention in the areas of transportation (i.e. airports and public transit), utilities, commercial buildings, schools (K-12), housing and institutional facilities, and projects for state, county and federal governments. Our professional engineers, project managers, certified municipal engineers, schedulers, estimators, and certified staff of inspectors are working diligently on behalf of all of our clients, protecting the integrity of project deadlines and budgets. I am sure you will agree that this is not an easy task as we meet the challenges of the still struggling economy.
Armand has long been noted for loyalty to our clients, creative solutions to their challenges, and above all, respect. As we continue to move forward, our engineering, construction management and government divisions are ready to manage the full life cycle of your next engineering, design development, or construction project.
We sincerely thank all of our clients, friends, and family for their continued support.
We look forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely,
Barbara Armand
