What Allison Smith Company LLC does

Allison Smith Company LLC is an employee-owned, full-service electrical contracting and engineering firm founded in 1943 and headquartered in Smyrna, Georgia. The company designs, engineers, installs, tests, and maintains electrical systems for commercial, industrial, institutional, and mission-critical facilities — most notably hyperscale data centers (QTS, Facebook/Meta, Google, Microsoft, Amazon), corporate headquarters (NCR World Headquarters), healthcare facilities, sports arenas, and manufacturing plants. Service delivery spans design-build (a methodology it pioneered in the 1960s), Building Information Modeling using the Autodesk Design Suite (Revit, AutoCAD, Navisworks), a proprietary "Electrical Installation Drawings" (EID) workflow integrated with Trimble Tool field layout, and an in-house prefabrication operation branded ASPrefab that processed over 2,000,000 feet of wire and 62,000+ electrical assemblies in 2024. Supporting specialty lines include Allison-Telecom (voice/data, originating from a 1980s IBM partnership), ASModular (modular electrical integration), ASTesting (NETA-, AVO-, and SKM-certified testing including arc flash and short-circuit studies), custom UL/ETL-listed equipment manufacturing, UL96A lightning protection, smart buildings/IoT/BAS/AV integration, and a 24/7 service department with a dedicated fleet of 12 service vehicles.

The firm operates three regional offices across the Southeast (Smyrna GA, Charlotte NC, North Charleston SC) and employs between 251 and 500 people, including 30+ full-time safety personnel, a full-time RCDD professional, and multiple layers of certified technicians. Its go-to-market is enterprise-only, direct field sales via negotiated contracts and design/build arrangements with Fortune 500 clients; revenue is project-based and quote-driven, with disclosed individual projects ranging from $100M to $200M+. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. The company is employee-owned, privately held, profitable on a continuous basis, and reports an annual turnover rate 39% below the national average. Sub-brands include ASPrefab, ASModular, ASTesting, and Allison-Telecom; key technology partnerships include IBEW (workforce/apprenticeship), Autodesk, Trimble, NETA, AVO, SKM, and UL. Notable recognition includes the 2018 ABC Excellence in Construction Award (NCR World Headquarters) and the 2021 ConstructSecure safety award; the firm is also currently defending a negligence lawsuit tied to a fatal electrocution at the QTS Data Center in Fayetteville, GA.

• Rosendin Electric: Employee-owned (100% ESOP) electrical contractor with strong data center, commercial, and mission-critical practices. Closely comparable to Allison-Smith on employee-ownership structure, design-build delivery, and data center specialization.
• Faith Technologies: Large private electrical and specialty systems contractor with strong prefabrication and data center exposure. Comparable to Allison-Smith in scope of services, design-build approach, and target hyperscaler/data center customers.
• Cupertino Electric: Large private electrical contractor with a leading data center and commercial platform. Comparable because of similar mission-critical focus, scale of Fortune 500/tech client base, and use of prefabrication/modular delivery methods.
• Helix Electric: Privately held national electrical contractor serving commercial, industrial, and data center markets. Comparable to Allison-Smith in design-build delivery, data center specialization, and multi-state regional footprint.

Broad incumbents

• EMCOR Group: Public Fortune 500 provider of electrical and mechanical construction, including large-scale data center and commercial projects. Comparable as a much larger incumbent offering overlapping electrical contracting services, though with broader mechanical/HVAC portfolio.
