Robins Engineering was founded in 1946 by Todd Robins and its first project was a small service station in Birmingham, Alabama. Now called Robins & Morton, we’ve evolved into a healthcare construction leader, a specialization that has propelled us from a regional firm to a top national contractor. Today, we’ve completed more than 2,100 projects across 37 states, with nearly 80% of our business coming from repeat clients — many partnering with us for more than a decade. By staying true to our values and Building Forward® approach, we continue to deliver exceptional construction experiences.
