What Robertson Construction does

Robertson Construction Services is a privately held, founder-owned full-service general contractor headquartered in Heath, Ohio, with a second office in Dublin, Ohio. Founded in 1997 by Christian H. Robertson, the firm operates with 180+ employees under a People First culture and an Employee Stock Ownership Plan structure. It delivers projects across healthcare and senior living, higher education, K-12 schools, municipal and public safety, industrial and distribution, and office and commercial verticals for clients including Memorial Health System, Licking Memorial Health Systems, Ohio State University, Denison University, Olentangy Local Schools, and Kaiser Aluminum.

Service delivery spans general contracting, construction management at risk (CMaR), and design-build, with self-performed capabilities in concrete, structural and miscellaneous steel, metal studs, drywall, and carpentry trades. Specialized technical offerings include LEED-certified construction (Platinum through Certified), off-site modular construction via the MODLOGIQ partnership delivering 85% factory-assembled buildings, and the in-house Robertson Career Academy partnered with NCCER - the only such program among midwestern US general contractors.

The revenue model is project-based professional services, priced per contract via lump sum, GMP, cost-plus, and competitive public bid structures, with contract values ranging from under $100,000 to above $15 million and discrete framework agreements (e.g., the £513.6m Regenda public sector framework). Distribution is direct enterprise field sales targeting health systems, universities, school districts, municipalities, and industrial buyers primarily within Ohio. The firm generated $160M in 2022 revenue with $1.3B in cumulative completed project value across 300+ projects over 25 years.
