What TriVersity Construction does

TriVersity Construction is a privately held, full-service commercial construction company headquartered in the Walnut Hills neighborhood of Cincinnati, Ohio. Founded in 2005, the firm serves clients across five primary market segments — healthcare, retail, civic/non-profit, mixed-use, and workplace/office — ranging from Fortune 500 enterprises (Fifth Third Bank, Duke Energy, FC Cincinnati) to non-profit and community organizations (ArtsWave, Bethany House, Urban League). The company is structured around three core pillars in its culture framework — possibilities, perspectives, and people — and positions itself as a relationship-first builder, with 94% of projects coming from repeat customers.

The company's service portfolio spans the construction lifecycle: preconstruction services (scope, cost, schedule, and supply chain planning), construction management and execution, the Triversity Craft Force (TCF) self-performing specialty division covering drywall, carpentry, demolition, insulation, acoustic ceilings, interior painting, doors/hardware, and millwork installation, and a proactive safety program. Underlying operational technology is described as physical — state-of-the-art field tools for automated building of complex soffits, pre-fabrication applications conducted in a dedicated warehouse at headquarters, and research/training facilities — rather than software-driven or AI-enabled. TCF operates as a distinct sub-brand and also accepts external sub-contract work, providing schedule control on internal projects and an additional revenue stream externally.

TriVersity's business model is professional-services-based, with project-by-project pricing that is not publicly disclosed. The go-to-market approach is direct and sales-led: enterprise clients are engaged from preconstruction through completion, often in collaboration with joint-venture partners such as Messer Construction and Jostin Construction on marquee regional projects including the $200M Duke Energy Convention Center overhaul and the $300M FC Cincinnati mixed-use development. The firm recently expanded into Central Ohio with a Columbus office led by VP Tyler Slane. Leadership transitioned in 2023 when founder-CEO Melvin Gravely II was succeeded by Jim Watkins, with Ryan Dunlap elevated to COO in October 2024; the company has appeared on the Deloitte Cincinnati USA 100 List for seven consecutive years.
