About
A history of
construction excellence
in the Baltimore area.
Since 1992, A.R. Marani, Inc. has built upon multiple areas of expertise and a vast level of experience in the industry.
Our firm has established an excellent reputation for outstanding workmanship, scheduling, maintaining a cost budget, and cooperation with owners and architects. We have won craftsmanship awards for one or more of our projects in almost every year we have been in operation. In 2007, ARM was selected as Contractor of the Year by the Baltimore chapter of the American Institute of Architects.
The Principals at ARM have a fundamental knowledge of construction that can be acquired only through years of on-the-job field and office experience, and we look for the same experience in our project managers and superintendents. This translates into well-constructed, long-lived buildings that reflect our commitment to excellence in our chosen craft.

History
A.R. Marani, Inc. (ARM) was incorporated in 1992 and is owned by Alan and Andrew Marani. They have worked in construction all their lives, cutting lawns on construction sites in their early teens, sweeping floors, working as laborers and carpenters, superintendents and project managers, and finally becoming principals in ARM. Alan attended the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute and Virginia Tech, graduating with a civil engineering degree. Andrew attended the University of Maryland, studying electrical engineering before leaving to work full time in construction.
Our first construction job as ARM was in 1992, when we renovated a building at 7122 Harford Road that became our office. We moved into the basement and leased out the other two floors. In our second year, we built projects valued at approximately $3 million. As our volume increased, we added personnel in the office and field, outgrew our space and took over our building’s second floor. By 2000, our volume was over $15 million and, needing more space, we renovated and moved to our current location at 7500 Harford Road. Since 1992, ARM has grown to include twelve office personnel (principals, project managers and support staff), ten superintendents and five field employees (carpenters, helpers & laborers). Currently our yearly volume runs between $22 and $25 million.
