The Auchter Company was acquired by Perry-Mccall Construction Inc. on March 26, 2007.

The Auchter Company was established in 1929[4] in Jacksonville, Florida, by George D. Auchter. The company was among Florida's oldest general construction contractors and built many of Jacksonville's civil and corporate buildings, including the City Hall.[5] and ranked among the top design/build firms in the US.[6] The Auchter Company also helped build ships needed for World War II, as part of the US Navy's Emergency Shipbuilding Program. After the war the shipyard closed in February 1946. The company went on to build many buildings and bridges until it was sold on March 26, 2007, to Perry-McCall Construction, Inc.[7] [8][9]
