10 Years of ABI Construction: A Journey Built on Passion, Experience, and Community

10 Years. Countless Memories. One Amazing Community.
In 2026, ABI Construction LLC celebrated a milestone that once seemed like a distant dream: 10 years in business.  But this story did not begin with a 10-year plan. ​It began with family, an opportunity to learn, and a woman who discovered a passion for construction along the way.

Where the Journey Began​

The story of ABI Construction began in Albuquerque, New Mexico, where Norma Martinez first became involved in the construction industry by helping her sister with the administrative side of the family business. At first, it was simply an opportunity to help. But as Norma learned more about the construction business, she discovered something unexpected: she loved it.
​
She became interested in the many moving parts behind a successful construction project—the organization, the people, the problem-solving, and the work that turns an idea into something real. What started as helping her sister gradually became a passion. That passion eventually led Norma to take the next step.

​​2016: ABI Construction LLC Was Born

In 2016, Norma decided to create something of her own and founded ABI Construction LLC. Starting a construction company takes more than knowing the industry. It takes courage, perseverance, relationships, and the willingness to keep learning. The first years brought challenges, lessons, opportunities, and plenty of hard work. But little by little, ABI Construction grew—not only through projects, but through the relationships built along the way.
​
Every client brought a new vision.
Every project brought a new challenge.
Every partnership brought an opportunity to learn and grow.
And every completed project became part of ABI Construction's story.

​A Decade of Professional Growth

Over the past 10 years, Norma has continued to build her knowledge, experience, and professional credentials within the construction industry.

Today, ABI Construction's qualifications and business credentials reflect that commitment to professional growth and responsible business practices.

​ABI Construction is:

• IBC Certified
• Licensed General Contractor
• DBE Certified — Disadvantaged Business Enterprise
• MBE Certified — Minority Business Enterprise
• WBE Certified — Women's Business Enterprise
• SAM Registered — Federal contracting system
• Approved Vendor with Sedgwick County
• Approved Vendor with the City of Wichita
• Federal and County Vendor Status Secured

​These accomplishments represent more than certificates or registrations. They reflect years of learning, persistence, building relationships, and creating opportunities for ABI Construction to serve clients across different sectors.
