About Brasfield & Gorrie
Brasfield & Gorrie is a privately held construction company established in Birmingham, Alabama, in 1964, when Miller Gorrie purchased the assets of Thomas C. Brasfield. The business grew from its early building work into a contractor serving a broad range of markets. Its organisation retains an emphasis on practical building expertise, relationships and the use of its own construction resources.
Markets and Experience
Its markets include commercial buildings, government, healthcare, heavy civil, industrial and mission-critical facilities. Published projects include the Georgia Aquarium, the AT&T Building in Nashville and Truist Park, delivered through a joint venture. Its history also records an expansion into water and wastewater treatment construction, reflecting experience beyond conventional building projects.
Services and Capabilities
Services include project planning, design management, design-build, procurement, engineering and self-performed construction. Its planning activities examine concepts, programme requirements and cost models before designs are finalised. Design managers coordinate design scope, schedule and budget, while procurement specialists work with manufacturers on critical equipment and long-lead requirements. Self-performed concrete and sitework can also inform design and constructability decisions.
Delivery and Approach
The company’s SPIRIT values are Safety, Performance, Integrity, Respect, Innovation and Teamwork. Its safety approach includes Daily Crew Work Plans and the See It, Own It, Share It philosophy, with personnel able to stop work when needed. Brasfield & Gorrie describes safety as an active responsibility across the jobsite. Together, its technical services and field capabilities support projects where planning, purchasing and physical construction need to be closely coordinated.
