Blount Construction Company

What Blount Construction Company does

Blount Construction Company, founded in 1946 by former Georgia DOT engineer George C. Blount and his son George, Jr., is a privately held, 100% employee-owned (ESOP) heavy civil contractor headquartered in Marietta, Georgia. The company provides asphalt paving, full-depth reclamation (FDR), base stabilization, concrete, grading, and soil cement base services, and produces hot-mix asphalt from six GDOT-approved plants across metro Atlanta. Its primary customers are the Georgia Department of Transportation (as prime contractor), cities and counties in greater Atlanta, and large-scale private commercial and industrial developers, with operating coverage spanning Georgia, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Tennessee.

The company's core technology is built around integrated asphalt production and self-performed placement: GDOT-standard hot-mix is manufactured in-house and laid using company crews and equipment, supported by capability in FDR (which recycles 100% of existing roadway material) and base stabilization that extends pavement life. Blount pioneered soil cement base in Atlanta in the 1950s and was among the first to introduce FDR to the Southeast. Recent acquisitions of Stewart Brothers (commercial paving and soil stabilization) and Metro Materials (hot-mix supply from four additional GDOT-approved plants) have expanded both upstream materials capacity and downstream commercial paving reach.

The business model is project-based, bid-driven construction services revenue supplemented by wholesale hot-mix sales to third-party contractors. Distribution is direct field sales: prime contracting on GDOT and municipal projects, direct engagement with cities and counties, and private commercial project work. There is no disclosed public pricing; estimates are quote-driven. Marketing relies on GDOT and municipal procurement processes, supplemented by a corporate website and a modest social media presence. Ownership is fully concentrated in an ESOP structure since 1997, with no external parent or private equity sponsor.
