Brasfield & Gorrie will observe its 50th anniversary on June 28, 2014. As one of the nation’s largest privately held construction firms, Brasfield & Gorrie provides general contracting, design-build and construction management services for a wide variety of markets, including healthcare, commercial, institutional, federal, municipal, industrial, infrastructure, and wastewater treatment. The company is one the few self-performing general contractors today.

The company was founded in 1964 when Miller Gorrie purchased the construction assets of Thos. C. Brasfield, General Contractor, for $45,000. In 1967, Mr. Gorrie changed the company’s name and moved its offices to the current headquarters in Birmingham, Alabama. Since that time, Brasfield & Gorrie has established offices in Atlanta and Columbus, Georgia; Dallas, Texas; Jacksonville and Orlando, Florida; Nashville, Tennessee; and Raleigh, North Carolina. The company employs approximately 2,600 employees, and its annual revenues are approximately $2.3 billion. From the beginning, the founders of Brasfield & Gorrie sought to establish a reputation of unwavering commitment to quality and integrity, and those values remain the bedrock of the company’s business philosophy today.
