Founded in 1995, Achill Beg Construction is more than just a company; it’s the embodiment of a man’s legacy, a tribute to his roots, and a reflection of his unwavering commitment to excellence.
James Gallagher, the visionary behind Achill Beg Construction, is a seasoned general contractor with decades of experience etched into the very fabric of his being. Born to Irish parents, James was raised and educated in the bustling metropolis of London, where he honed his engineering skills and developed an insatiable passion for construction.
It was this passion that led him across the Atlantic to San Francisco, a city that pulsated with the energy of innovation and the allure of the unknown. In this vibrant landscape, James found the perfect stage to showcase his expertise and realize his dreams.
As a tribute to his beloved father, born on the remote Irish island of Achill Beg, James named his company after this cherished piece of his heritage. Achill Beg, meaning “Island of Beauty” in Gaelic, became a symbol of the values that James held dear – resilience, strength, and a deep-rooted connection to one’s origins.
For the past 27 years, James Gallagher and his team at Achill Beg Construction have been crafting masterpieces out of concrete, steel, and glass. From grand residential projects to intricate historical preservations, Achill Beg Construction has left an indelible mark on San Francisco’s skyline.
