Brasfield & Gorrie’s 12th & Juniper development in Midtown Atlanta features twin residential towers totaling more than 1 million sq ft, reshaping the skyline near Piedmont Park.
Brasfield & Gorrie is ENR’s 2026 Contractor of the Year for the Southeast region, encompassing Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, the Carolinas and Florida. The Birmingham, Ala.-based contractor posted a record $7.7 billion in companywide revenue in 2025, largely powered by an internal joint‑venture model that paired teams to pursue work no single office could land on its own.
That approach helped secure wins, including a $310-million water reclamation facility in Nashville and a $505-million federal design‑build project in Huntsville, Ala. Mission-critical work carried much of the year, with the firm topping $2 billion in data center and hyperscale campus projects.
The company didn’t just grow its backlog—it reshaped how it operates. 2025 marked the first full year for Brasfield & Gorrie’s Market Leadership Teams, dedicated leads for healthcare, commercial, mission-critical, industrial, government, heavy civil and self‑performance, coordinating strategy across regional lines. Its AI platform, Magnus 2.5, logged more than 70,000 interactions in its first two months, with a broader rollout still to come.
Leadership evolved too. Rob Blalock stepped into the CEO role in 2025, a year in which the firm maintained safety metrics despite rapid growth. Brasfield & Gorrie posted a 0.50 experience modification rate across more than 220 active jobsites. It also raised its profit‑sharing bonus by 50%, promoted a record number of employees, and grew its professional staff by 8%.
Today, the contractor operates 13 offices across the Southeast, from Texas through the Gulf Coast and into Alabama, Georgia, Tennessee, the Carolinas and Florida. It reported 631 active projects worth $29.4 billion in 2025 and is forecasting $9.2 billion in revenue for 2026.
A full profile of Brasfield & Gorrie’s award‑winning year will appear in ENR Texas & Southeast’s Aug. 10 issue.
