Our History
Headquartered in Birmingham, Alabama, our company is the successor to the Thos. C. Brasfield company, a general contractor operating as a sole proprietor from 1921. Miller Gorrie purchased the company’s construction assets in 1964 and changed the name to Brasfield & Gorrie in 1967.
Initially, the new company continued in the niche of small commercial and remodeling projects. As profitability increased, the company shifted its emphasis to larger commercial, institutional, healthcare, and industrial projects. In 1984, Brasfield & Gorrie began expanding, opening additional full-service offices in Atlanta, Georgia, and Orlando, Florida. Since that time, the company has continued to grow and now serves clients from twelve offices in eight states.
Brasfield & Gorrie’s success is the result of a strong work ethic and industry knowledge combined with innovation and collaboration. In the first year after Miller Gorrie purchased the assets of the Thos. C. Brasfield company, our annual revenue was less than $1 million. Today, our annual revenue is more than $2 billion, and we are a nationally respected general contractor with more than 3,000 employees and an average project value of $14 million.
Community Involvement
Brasfield & Gorrie places a high priority on giving back to the communities that support our business and foster our families. Employees are encouraged by example to serve their communities, and it is rare to find a local organization or event that has not benefited from Brasfield & Gorrie’s participation. Our corporate officers are acknowledged community leaders who actively participate in or lead a variety of business, civic, charitable, and social organizations.
Brasfield & Gorrie employees exhibit strong team spirit and a sense of pride that is usually found only in small companies. Employee involvement has earned Brasfield & Gorrie the title of “Pacesetter Company” for United Way. Since 1992, our company has led its division in the United Way campaign, increasing per capita contributions each year.
