What Brackett Builders does

Brackett Builders, Inc. is a Dayton, Ohio-based full-service general contractor and construction manager founded in 1983. The firm operates as a privately held subsidiary of Crawford Hoying, a Dublin, Ohio-based real estate developer, and has completed over 15,000,000 square feet of commercial real estate across more than 40 years of operation. It maintains a regional office in Dublin, Ohio in addition to its Dayton headquarters, positioning it across Ohio's two principal commercial real estate markets.

The company delivers ground-up construction, renovations, and construction management services across a diversified vertical mix that includes hospitality (Marriott, Hilton, and Embassy Suites-family flags), healthcare, banking, real estate development, manufacturing, food service, education, recreation, mixed-use, office, and residential. Named customers include AC Hotel, SpringHill Suites, Fairfield Inn, Homewood Suites, Fort Hamilton Hospital, Bethany Lutheran Village, Wright Patt Credit Union, Midmark, and Henny Penny. The firm also maintains LEED-credentialed delivery capability and BBB accreditation.

The business model is project-based commercial construction services, with revenue generated through negotiated and competitively bid construction contracts via a direct sales motion. Brackett reports $130 million-plus in annual revenue with a stated 11-50 employee headcount, implying a heavily subcontracted delivery model supplemented by a thin layer of in-house project leadership. Operations run on Procore for project management, BuildingConnected for prequalification and bid pipeline, and Viewpoint for ERP and accounting. A stated principal-involvement model places company leadership on every project as a service differentiator.
