Morette Company

What Morette Company does

Morette Company is a privately held, family-owned construction services firm headquartered in Pensacola, Florida, operating across the Gulf Coast region (Florida Panhandle and Alabama) since 1978. The firm offers four core services — Construction Management, Design-Build, Preconstruction Services, and General Contracting — executed primarily via project-based, fixed-fee and at-risk contracts in healthcare, education, commercial (including hospitality), government/civic, and place-of-worship sectors. Notable project work includes the 320,000 SF M.C. Blanchard Judicial Center (1998), 225,000 SF Margaritaville Beach Hotel (2010), 126,535 SF Andrews Institute facility, multi-phase Baptist Health Care projects, and the 84,308 SF Florida Department of Law Enforcement headquarters (2022), with the Southend High School contract in 2023 representing the firm's first $100M+ award.

Operationally, Morette Co. runs a bid-driven enterprise field-sales motion centered on regional relationship selling, subcontractor pre-qualification, and project execution under Procore as its construction management platform. The firm holds Florida (#CGC1517904) and Alabama (#19363) contractor licenses and is led by Michael Morette (President/CEO) with his mother Sharon Morette (VP) and sister Nikki Morette Bell (CFO), reflecting multi-generational family control. Revenue is generated one-time per project with no disclosed public pricing; more than 50% of work comes from repeat clients, indicating high relationship-driven revenue stickiness within established accounts. The firm maintains a workforce of 11–50 employees and has no outside investors, M&A activity, or public shareholders reported.

Direct peers

• Brasfield & Gorrie: Birmingham, AL-headquartered general contractor operating across the Southeast U.S. with comparable healthcare, education, commercial, and civic project focus. Directly comparable as a Southeast regional GC with similar sector mix and project scale range, though materially larger in headcount and revenue.
• Robins & Morton: Birmingham, AL-based general contractor with strong healthcare, education, and commercial focus across the Southeast. Closely comparable in size, regional footprint, and vertical mix, particularly given its healthcare construction specialization that overlaps directly with Morette's core healthcare book.
• B.L. Harbert International: Birmingham, AL-headquartered general contractor with U.S. and international operations across commercial, civic, healthcare, and education sectors. Directly comparable as a Southeast-rooted GC with similar client mix, though it has scaled beyond Morette's current geographic and size envelope.
• Hoar Construction: Birmingham, AL-based general contractor serving the Southeast with healthcare, education, commercial, and multifamily projects. Comparable regional GC profile with similar project delivery models (construction management, design-build, general contracting) and overlapping customer verticals.
• Haskell: Jacksonville, FL-based design-build firm operating across commercial, industrial, healthcare, and government sectors. Comparable as a Florida-headquartered GC offering similar construction management and design-build services, though Haskell is significantly larger and more diversified.
• Manhattan Construction Group: Oklahoma-headquartered general contractor with Florida and Southeast operations serving commercial, education, healthcare, and government clients. Comparable in core service offering and vertical mix, though larger and more geographically diversified than Morette.
• Austin Industries: Dallas, TX-based family-owned construction services firm operating across commercial, industrial, and infrastructure sectors. Comparable as a privately held, regionally rooted GC with diversified service offerings, though significantly larger and broader geographically than Morette.

Broad incumbents

• Gilbane Building Company: Large, multi-region U.S. construction manager and general contractor with deep healthcare, education, and civic portfolios. Comparable service offering (CM, design-build, general contracting), but operates at substantially greater scale and geographic breadth than Morette's Gulf Coast footprint.
• McCarthy Building Companies: National employee-owned general contractor with a strong healthcare, education, and civic portfolio. Comparable in service mix and vertical specialization, but operates at much larger scale across multiple U.S. regions.
• Clark Construction Group: Large national general contractor and construction manager active in commercial, education, healthcare, and government sectors. Comparable in delivery model and vertical mix, but materially larger in scale and geographic footprint than Morette.
