What D.F.Chase does

D.F. Chase, Inc., doing business as Chase Construction Group, is a privately held national general contractor and construction manager headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee (3001 Armory Dr, Suite 100). Founded in 1984 and celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2025, the company offers five core delivery methods — Pre-Construction, General Contracting, Design-Build, Construction Management At-Risk, and Program Management — applied across six vertical specialties: Logistics, Hospitality, Warehouses, Commercial, Education, and Industrial. D.F. Chase is the largest private contractor in Nashville and maintains a standing on the Engineering News Record Top 400 contractors list, with project delivery reported across 38+ states, more than $1 billion in lifetime logistics construction volume, more than $750 million in lifetime hospitality construction volume, over 9,000 logistics doors completed, and more than 150 repeat logistics clients.

The business operates a project-based revenue model with custom quote-based pricing on individually scoped engagements rather than disclosed tiered pricing; project durations are typically multi-year. Revenue is generated through one-time, project-based fees tied to scope, complexity, and duration. The go-to-market motion is direct enterprise sales, with project acquisition driven by brand reputation, ENR ranking, repeat-client relationships, and RFP-based business development rather than a high-volume inbound channel; marketing presence is limited to LinkedIn, the corporate website, and press/news releases. Customer segments are weighted toward enterprise buyers in logistics and hospitality, with named engagements including Gaylord Opryland Resort & Convention Center, Jack Daniel's Distillery, and Averitt Express. The company has no disclosed subsidiaries, no recent M&A activity, no funding rounds, and no public ownership or parent company, operating as an independent private corporation. There is no evidence of AI, machine learning, or proprietary software products; the underlying technology is conventional construction management supported by LEED-certified delivery capability.
