GENERAL CONTRACTING SERVICES
Our General Contracting team with 23+ years experience can cover commercial project and material types across the Southeast U.S. that run the gamut from churches and commercial retail centers to manufacturing and warehousing flex spaces with offices.
Office facilities. Retail spaces. Relationships. There’s a lot to consider when building from the ground up. As a leading commercial contractor in GA, we start with a solid understanding of the construction industry and all of its potential. Our team is comprised of professionals with years of real field experience. That gives us an edge on timelines and estimations, sure, but what it really comes down to is the ability to take on a project and run with it; advise on it—efficiently and effectively. With seamless design-build solutions, we can assist you anywhere in the process. Whether you need help with initial design concepts or are looking for a builder to execute on completed designs, our knowledge, network, and partnership enable us to form places we’re proud of—together.
While our name may evoke images of sturdy steel structures, our expertise extends far beyond PEMB steel buildings and under our GC division we can construct with all kinds of building materials. As a leading general contractor in the Southeastern United States, we specialize in delivering turnkey Design-Build and General Contracting services for a diverse range of commercial clients and projects located in Georgia & Tennesee. Whether you’re building a modest retail storefront, a new company HQ/offices, or a sprawling warehouse expansion, you can count on us to deliver superior results, on time and within budget.
As a premier commercial contractor in GA, we don’t just build structures; we craft experiences. We’re not just in the business of constructing buildings; we’re in the business of realizing dreams. Our reputation for excellence in steel construction precedes us, but our capabilities extend far beyond metal. We boast a diverse team of artisans, craftsmen, architects, and in-house designers whose expertise spans a myriad of materials, ensuring that your vision is brought to life with unparalleled precision and uncompromising aesthetics.
At SteelCo, we understand that each project is unique, which is why we offer a comprehensive range of Design-Build and construction services tailored to your specific needs. Whether you’re starting from scratch and seeking a partner to conceptualize and execute your vision from the ground up, or you already have existing plans and require expert construction services to bring them to fruition, we have the expertise and flexibility to accommodate your requirements.
Our Design-Build approach is built on collaboration and innovation, empowering us to seamlessly integrate various materials into your project while ensuring a harmonious balance of form and function. From sleek glass facades to rugged stone accents, our team excels at creating bespoke solutions that reflect the desired style and preferences for your project. With SteelCo, the possibilities are limitless, and we aim for results that are nothing short of extraordinary. Whether you’re envisioning a modern office complex, a manufacturing and warehouse flex space, a retail shopping center, or anything in between, you can trust our team to bring your vision to life with creativity, craftsmanship, and unwavering dedication.
SteelCo is a locally awarded general contractor and a preferred choice for discerning clients who demand nothing but the best. Our +60-80% repeat/referral rate is a testament to this and our philosophy is rooted in building long-term relationships, and delivering on projects that inspire and stand the test of time.
Some of SteelCo’s projects still adhere to the conventional project delivery approach. In the Design-Bid-Build method, the project owner first hires an architect or designer to create detailed construction plans and specifications. Once the design is finalized, the owner puts the project out to bid, inviting construction firms to submit proposals based on the provided plans. Contractors then bid on the project, offering their estimated costs for construction based on the provided design documents. The owner selects the contractor with the most competitive offering and bid, and the construction work begins once the contract is awarded. This method allows for a clear separation between the design and construction phases, providing the owner with more control over the design process and potentially lowering construction costs through competitive bidding.
One potential advantage of the Design-Bid-Build approach is its transparency and accountability. Since the design and construction phases are handled separately, there is a clear distinction of responsibilities between the architect, the contractor, and the owner. This division can lead to more thorough oversight and quality control throughout the project’s lifecycle. Additionally, the competitive bidding process can result in lower construction costs for the owner, as contractors strive to offer the most competitive pricing to win the project. Furthermore, owners have the flexibility to select different contractors and architects based on their expertise and track record, potentially leading to higher-quality outcomes tailored to the project’s specific requirements.
However, the Design-Bid-Build method also has its drawbacks compared to a turn-key Design-Build service. One notable disadvantage is the potential for conflicts or delays during the construction phase. Since the contractor is not involved in the design process, there may be discrepancies or ambiguities in the plans that only become apparent during construction, leading to change orders, disputes, and potentially project delays. Additionally, the sequential nature of the design-bid-build approach can result in longer project durations compared to design-build, where design and construction activities can overlap, potentially accelerating the project timeline. Finally, the lack of integration between the design and construction teams in design-bid-build projects may hinder innovation and collaboration, potentially limiting the project’s overall efficiency and effectiveness.

At SteelCo, our brand promise is to continually raise standards and elevate the customer experience. Our core 3 C’s are a nod to our company roots and inception in PEMB (pre-engineered metal buildings): tangibly and intangibly, these pillars help us deliver on that promise and nowhere is it clearer than in construction where bringing together parts can create a much greater whole.
With our capabilities as a full-service design-build firm and deep industry expertise, we understand our capacity to influence, shape, and construct on behalf of our clients and our innate responsibility to deliver for them. Over the years, our credibility has elevated beyond just construction quality and management—we are a force for ideation, design, and guidance. We’re able to concept from scratch but we also push for collaboration with clients for better end results. Lastly, our culture embodies a client-first philosophy and approach—we prioritize communication, present solutions, and provide value engineering for every single client and project.
Our solutions run smoothly—and drive results.
More than PEMB experts, we are commercial contracting experts offering seamless design-build solutions. Our approach, no matter where a client loops us in, is to understand their wants and needs, then use our industry expertise, connections, and honed judgment to help shape and deliver on their ideas.
A single PoC ensures less project inefficiencies while directing in-house design, sourcing, and sitework. And our history as a private-label PEMB retailer provides us with access to a wide network of vendor relationships and top-tier materials.
We’ve been there and will be where clients need us.
There’s a reason we can accurately ballpark estimates on the fly. Some call it intuition—we call it experience. Our team has 5-10 years more of it than the average PM. Its this hands-on work that gives us credibility, a greater understanding of industry processes, and the ability to know what works.
Our Project Managers are heavily involved in every project from concept to completion to help mitigate risks, ensure a high-quality product, compress timelines, and provide clients with peace of mind.
In construction, we mean business—but our partnerships are always personal.
At SCB, we view our partnership as one that’s constructive—we are positive and supportive, always forming solutions to project challenges. In our communication, we are thorough, timely, and transparent. We welcome fresh ideas and the opportunity to build from them, but we also create from scratch and provide alternate options when beneficial.
Because we want our clients to have choices and total awareness. That’s what gains respect, strengthens relationships. And with ~60-80% of our business from repeat clients and referrals, it’s clearly working.
