Veteran construction leader brings decade of expertise and modern leadership to complex projects across commercial, residential, and hospitality sectors

BEHKO is pleased to announce that Al Wischusen joined the team as Senior Superintendent this past fall. With over 10 years of experience leading high-value, ground-up, and design-build projects from New York City to the South Carolina Lowcountry, Al brings a collaborative leadership style and proven ability to deliver efficient, high-quality outcomes on complex construction projects.

Leadership That Builds More Than Buildings

Al’s career has been defined by his ability to unite teams, solve intricate challenges, and maintain clear communication throughout every phase of construction. His expertise spans commercial warehouses, luxury residential developments, and boutique hospitality projects—each demanding a unique combination of technical precision and stakeholder coordination.

Prior to joining BEHKO, Al served as Superintendent II at Robbins, Construction Manager at Evolve Companies, and Lead Superintendent at JDS Development, where he earned a reputation for full lifecycle execution and practical innovation that keeps projects moving forward.

“Al represents the kind of leadership we value at BEHKO,” said Razvan “Raz” Cojocaru, Managing Owner. “He doesn’t just manage job sites—he builds teams that take ownership of the work. That collaborative approach, combined with his technical expertise, makes him an invaluable addition to our team.”

A Diverse Portfolio of Complex Projects

Al’s project portfolio demonstrates his versatility and ability to adapt to varying project types, scales, and markets:

  • Vine Works Trade Park (Johns Island, SC) – Historic restoration and adaptive reuse transforming a vintage agricultural facility into modern commercial space
  • Greendock Spec Warehouse (North Charleston, SC) – Advanced logistics and industrial facility
  • Cowboy USA Logistics Warehouse (Moncks Corner, SC) – Large-scale distribution center
  • Circulo Hotel (North Charleston, SC) – Boutique hospitality development
  • Hawthorne at Summerville Apartments (Summerville, SC) – Multi-family residential construction
  • The Fitzroy Condominiums (New York, NY) – High-rise luxury residential development
  • The Copper Apartments (New York, NY) – Urban multi-family construction

Each project required Al to balance competing priorities, coordinate diverse teams, and deliver results that met both budget and timeline expectations without compromising quality.

Education and Foundation

Al earned his Bachelor of Science in Sociology with a minor in Economics from the College of Charleston. This unique academic background has informed his people-first approach to construction leadership—understanding that successful projects are built on strong relationships, clear communication, and aligned incentives.

The BEHKO Fit

“Al’s approach to leadership aligns perfectly with our culture at BEHKO,” said Jordan Behringer, Managing Owner. “He understands that the best outcomes come from empowering teams, listening to challenges, and solving problems collaboratively. That’s exactly the kind of leadership our projects demand.”

Al’s addition to the BEHKO team strengthens the company’s capacity to deliver on increasingly complex commercial and industrial projects across the Lowcountry—projects that require not just technical skill but also the kind of modern leadership that inspires accountability and excellence.

Looking Ahead

As BEHKO continues to pursue projects that others might shy away from—complex builds that demand precision, innovation, and disciplined execution—Al Wischusen will play a critical role in ensuring that every project reflects the company’s commitment to Bold Excellence.

“I’m excited to join a team that values collaboration as much as craftsmanship,” Al said. “BEHKO’s reputation for taking on complex projects and delivering exceptional results is exactly the kind of challenge I’m looking for. I’m ready to contribute to that legacy and help build the future of the Lowcountry.”

Welcome to BEHKO, Al. Let’s build something bold together.
