Samuel Hutchinson, founder and president of St. Louis-based Interface Construction Corporation, has been elected to serve as the Associated General Contractor’s of America (AGC) treasurer. As a member of the executive board board, Hutchinson will lead a national effort to improve the productivity of the nation’s construction companies, oversee the group’s advocacy efforts on behalf of the industry and help builders weather today’s challenging economic conditions.
Interface began as a concrete construction company, completing concrete flatwork for highway contractors in the Metro East area of St. Louis. In 1988, Hutchinson transitioned the company from being a subcontractor to a general contractor and a construction manager in heavy construction, earning Interface the title of one of the top 25 small businesses in the St. Louis area. Hutchinson has served as chairman of AGC’s Building Division and is a four-time member of the executive board.
While Treasurer, Hutchinson will chair the task force on Disadvantaged Business Enterprise, a job he has held before for the AGC of America, “ As a minority-owned contractor I learned the meaning and value of good construction management and what it takes to make a business successful” said Hutchinson.
