Astra Group

What Astra Group does

Astra Group, LLC is a privately held, family-owned general contracting firm headquartered in Woodstock, Georgia. Founded in 1994 and previously operating under the Equix brand, the company delivers construction services across the Southeast United States through four operating units: the core Astra Group, Inc. general contracting division, Astra Grading and Pipe, LLC (AGAP) for grading and underground utility work, Astra Construction Services, LLC for specialized construction, and an in-house Job Order Contracting (JOC) division that provides pre-negotiated contracting for public-sector clients. Project scope spans a wide range — from $100,000 site work to over $100 million infrastructure packages — covering aviation facilities, ports, parks, transportation corridors, athletic and recreational facilities, water/stormwater infrastructure, and commercial construction.

The company primarily serves government and municipal clients (state, county, city), airport authorities, colleges and universities, Community Improvement Districts (CIDs), and national commercial developers, executing work through competitive public bidding, direct negotiation, and JOC master agreements. Notable delivered projects include the Atlanta BeltLine Eastside and Westside Trails, the $67 million Port of Savannah International Multi-Modal Connector (expanded to $102 million via change order), Georgia's first Engineered Materials Arresting System (EMAS) at DeKalb-Peachtree Airport, and the Rodney Cook Sr. Park / Upper Proctor Creek Capacity Relief project in Atlanta. Astra operates from five offices across Georgia and Florida (Woodstock, Atlanta, Savannah, Midway, Tampa), and is led by the Lindsay family with Ian Lindsay as Chairman of the Board and Andrew Lindsay as President of the grading and pipe subsidiary.

Revenue is generated through project-based, one-time contracts awarded via competitive bid or pre-negotiated JOC terms, with no subscription or recurring software-style revenue. The company employs more than 160 people (some sources cite 170+) and reports annual revenues exceeding $100 million. Distribution and demand generation rely almost entirely on completed-project visibility, industry awards (notably ENR Top 600 Specialty Contractor ranking), and direct enterprise field sales into public-sector procurement offices rather than digital or product-led channels.

Broad incumbents

• Archer Western Construction: Walsh Group subsidiary focused on heavy civil, transportation, and aviation infrastructure across the Southeast US. Comparable on large airport, port, and bridge projects (e.g., PDK, Port of Savannah-style mega-packages) where Astra competes for public-sector infrastructure work.
• McCarthy Building Companies: National employee-owned general contractor with significant aviation, healthcare, and higher education practices and an Atlanta office. Competes with Astra for large-scale aviation, municipal, and institutional projects across the Southeast, though as a much broader portfolio player.
• Balfour Beatty US: Major international infrastructure and general contracting firm with active operations across the Southeast US. Competes for the same large aviation, transportation, and civil infrastructure RFPs as Astra but with greater geographic reach and capital resources.

Direct peers

• Holder Construction: Atlanta-based general contractor specializing in commercial, aviation, and mission-critical construction. Directly comparable as a Georgia-headquartered GC competing for similar corporate, aviation, and institutional clients in the Atlanta metro and broader Southeast.
• C.W. Matthews Contracting Co. Marietta, GA-based heavy/civil and highway contractor focused on grading, paving, bridges, and transportation infrastructure across Georgia. Closely comparable to Astra's Astra Grading and Pipe division on DOT, municipal roadway, and grading-intensive projects.
• Brasfield & Gorrie: One of the largest privately held general contractors in the Southeast US, headquartered in Birmingham, AL with deep Atlanta and Florida presence. Competes head-to-head with Astra on healthcare, aviation, municipal, and commercial general contracting projects across Georgia and Florida.
• Reeves Construction Company: Summit Materials subsidiary operating as a heavy/civil and asphalt contractor throughout the Southeast. Competes directly with Astra on airport paving, highway, and site-civil packages in Georgia, Florida, and the Carolinas.
• Batson-Cook Construction: Georgia-based general contractor with a strong Southeast regional footprint across commercial, healthcare, education, and mixed-use developments. Overlaps with Astra on municipal, institutional, and commercial GC work in the Atlanta and Georgia markets.

Regional players

• E.R. Snell Contractor, Inc. Georgia-based site development, utility, and grading contractor serving the Atlanta metro and broader Southeast. Comparable in scale and service mix to Astra's grading/utility division, though primarily operating in adjacent Georgia counties rather than statewide.
