Castone
Foundations of Excellence
Built on principles that have guided every project since the beginning.
In 1962, David M. James, Sr. founded Castone Corp. on rock solid principles that continue to shape every aspect of the business today.
The company’s first project was manufactured in August of that same year for Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Alabama, under contractor Dyson and Company, Inc. From those early days, Castone has contributed to shaping skylines across the South—from Miami to Charlotte, Charleston to Dallas, and everywhere in between. The work spans stadiums, arenas, and domes; university and corporate campuses; residential buildings, parking structures, and churches. Each project reflects a long-standing commitment to delivering what clients need, guided by a consistent standard of excellence.
At the core of that work are the principles established at the company’s founding:
- We provide our clients with the highest quality product on time and on budget.
- We serve our clients with integrity and sincerity.
- We believe in long relationships earned by being a trusted business partner.
- We spend our energy finding the best answer, being collaborative, and enjoying the process of creating for our clients.
- We provide value to our clients and the communities we serve.
- Safety is paramount.
- We care more than anyone else.
Continuing Legacy
Carrying forward a tradition of craftsmanship, trust, and lasting partnerships.
The portfolio represents the vision and imagination of architects and contractors brought to life through a disciplined focus on quality and process. Technical expertise, creativity, and coordination ensure that each project is managed to successful completion. Castone is API certified, adheres to strict PCI guidelines, and has earned recognition throughout the industry—including more than 15 years without a lost-time incident.
As one of the oldest precast companies in the United States, Castone has completed more than 4,000 projects alongside a wide range of contractors. Those founding principles remain as relevant today as they were in 1962, continuing to guide every decision and every partnership. Now led by David’s sons, the company’s legacy is defined not only by its history, but by its ongoing role in shaping the built environment across the South.
Being part of that transformation is both a privilege and a responsibility—one grounded in a commitment to quality, trust, and results that are, and always will be, rock solid.
