Descriptiontext

Prime Contractors, Inc. is a family-owned general contracting firm founded in 1979 and headquartered in Powder Springs, Georgia. The company provides design-build, commercial renovation, facilities maintenance, and negotiated construction services across the Southeast United States, with primary vertical exposure to government (federal, state, and municipal), higher education, commercial, and retail clients. Service delivery is anchored in compliance-driven procurement frameworks, including IDIQ (Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity) task-order contracts, on-call master service agreements, and participation in the ezIQC cooperative purchasing program, which together enable pre-negotiated, rapid-response project execution for public-sector buyers.

The company's product portfolio is organized into core offerings (general contractor services for government, commercial, and retail) and modular service lines (design-build, renovation, facilities maintenance, ezIQC IDIQ contracting). Notable execution capabilities include historic preservation projects such as the Roosevelt Pools restoration in Warm Springs, Georgia and the Doc's Cafe restoration at Mimosa Hall & Gardens in Roswell. The business employs a project-based revenue model with one-time construction engagements supplemented by recurring managed-services revenue from facilities maintenance and on-call agreements.

Commercially, Prime Contractors operates a hybrid go-to-market: enterprise field sales for government clients via direct procurement relationships and IDIQ/on-call vehicles, alongside direct-to-consumer commercial and retail project acquisition through website inquiries. Named customers include the United States Postal Service, Georgia Department of Natural Resources, Georgia Emergency and Homeland Security Agency, Kennesaw State University, Georgia State University, City of Roswell, and more than 20 retail brands. Leadership is composed of President Keith Dunn, Managing Director Rob Stephenson, and Director of Government Contracts Ken Clark, reflecting direct family involvement in operations and a deliberate emphasis on government contracting as a strategic vertical.
