The hard part

You know how this usually goes.

The quote takes two weeks. Then the guy goes quiet. Then you’re the one making calls, chasing updates, explaining to your tenant why the space isn’t ready — apologizing for a mess you didn’t make.

Meanwhile the lease clock is running. Somebody’s paying for square footage nobody can use.

That’s the bar in this industry. It’s low. And it’s why finding a GC you can actually rely on feels harder than it should.

Since 1999

We’ve been building commercial space in the Southeast since 1999.

We cut our teeth on national rollouts — 100+ Domino’s locations — where the schedule wasn’t a suggestion. That’s where we learned to mobilize fast, and it’s still how we run. Since then we’ve done tenant improvements, office buildouts, warehouse conversions, and restaurant renovations across Georgia, Tennessee, Alabama, and South Carolina.

Family-owned. Adam and Justin Upchurch run it. We self-perform non-specialty trades, which means when a job needs to start, it starts — we’re not waiting in line behind three subcontractors’ calendars.

Small enough that you’ll talk to the people actually running your job. Around long enough that we’ve seen most problems before they get expensive.

A client’s condo caught fire on a Tuesday. We were weatherproofing the roof that afternoon. Sealed before the storm hit the next day. That’s not a special favor — it’s how we’re built.

What we build

The kinds of space we build

Tenant improvements

Office buildouts, suite renovations, and space reconfigurations for new and existing tenants.

Restaurant & retail buildouts

Kitchen, dining, and storefront construction for restaurants, cafes, and retail concepts.

Warehouse & industrial conversions

Converting raw or underutilized warehouse space into functional commercial environments.

Office renovations

Modernizing dated offices with new layouts, finishes, and infrastructure.

Repairs & restoration

Storm damage, structural repairs, roof work, water damage, and the calls that can’t wait until next month.

Our sweet spot: $50K–$500K commercial projects in Metro Atlanta and across the Southeast. Under that, you’re better off with a handyman and we’ll tell you so. Over it, you probably want a firm with a project management department. Right in the middle is where we do our best work.

How it works

What it’s actually like to work with us

The three-step version is up top. Here’s what’s underneath it.

What happens on the first call

We’ll ask about the space, your timeline, and what has to be true for this to be a win. It takes about ten minutes.

If it’s a fit, we schedule a site visit that week. If it’s not — wrong size, wrong scope, wrong timing — we say so right then and point you toward someone better suited. You’re not going to spend three weeks finding out we were never the right call.

How we price it

We walk the space with you, document conditions, and take our own measurements. We don’t price off a drawing and hope.

Then we build the estimate and get on a call to walk you through it. Every line. You’ll know what’s in there and what isn’t before you sign — not after the first change order shows up. If something on site turns out different than what we priced, you hear about it from us before it becomes a number on an invoice.

What you’ll see during construction

Weekly updates: what got done, what’s next, anything that changed.

Plus live photo access through CompanyCam. Our crew uploads as they work, you pull it up whenever you want. No driving across town to find out whether the framing went in.

When something goes wrong

It will. Inspector fails something, a sub falls through, the building surprises us behind a wall.

You’ll hear it from us the day it happens, with the fix and the schedule impact already worked out. The problem isn’t the problem. Finding out about it late is.

What’s at stake

A blown timeline isn’t a scheduling problem. It’s a tenant paying rent on a space they can’t occupy, and a phone call you have to make.

A budget surprise isn’t a line item. It’s a conversation with your client or your investor where you don’t have a good answer.

And a GC who goes dark isn’t an inconvenience. It’s you doing his job on top of yours.

In commercial construction, picking wrong gets measured in lost rent, lost trust, and time you don’t get back.

When it goes right

When it goes right, it’s boring.

The estimate is the invoice. The timeline holds. Calls get returned same day. The space opens on schedule, the tenant moves in, and nobody had to chase anybody.

Then the broker sends you the next one — because the last one was easy.

That’s the job. Not flashy. Reliable.

You’ve got a space that needs to be ready.

We’ve been doing this since 1999. Call or fill out the form. We’ll get back to you within one business day — and if we’re not the right fit for your project, we’ll tell you that on the first call.
