What Piedmont Construction Group does

Piedmont Construction Group is a privately held, full-service construction firm headquartered in Macon, Georgia, founded in 1995 by brothers G. Scott Thompson and David Thompson. The company delivers construction management, design/build, general contracting, task order, and feasibility study services across the Southeast United States, with additional offices in McDonough (Atlanta metro), Statesboro, and Perry, all within Georgia. Its client base is concentrated in higher education (University System of Georgia institutions including UGA, Georgia Tech, Kennesaw State, Middle Georgia State, Fort Valley State, West Georgia, South Georgia State, Augusta), state and local government (GSFIC, Macon-Bibb County, Georgia War Veterans Home, Atlanta Housing Authority), healthcare (Renal Physicians of Georgia and similar providers), and select commercial and historic preservation projects.

Operationally, the firm pursues projects through competitive bidding and qualifications-based selections, typically as design/build lead or construction manager at-risk alongside repeat architect and engineering partners (Collins Cooper Carusi, Lord Aeck Sargent, Toland & Mizell, PRAXIS3, Pond, TVS, HGOR, Dunwody/Beeland, Gladwin Vaughn, Clark Nexsen). Project methods emphasize preconstruction planning, value engineering, occupied-environment construction on active campuses, and historic preservation meeting National Register and Department of Interior guidelines. Revenue is one-time, project-based fees earned on contract delivery (not retainer or recurring license) with no public pricing; projects range from single-digit-million renovations to multi-tens-of-millions developments such as the $43.6M Madison Reynoldstown affordable housing mixed-use build on the Atlanta BeltLine.

By 2020 the firm had delivered over $1.2 billion in construction projects, and through 2025–2026 it has earned multiple AGC Build Georgia awards and Historic Macon Foundation preservation awards, signaling a stable mid-sized operator with steady pipeline access via state procurement and university system relationships rather than rapid scaling.
