What Fraser Construction Company, LLC does

Fraser Construction Company, LLC is a privately held commercial general contracting firm headquartered in Bluffton, South Carolina, tracing its origins to a 1978 founding on Hilton Head Island and operated today as an LLC 100% owned by Joe Fraser and Jay Fraser. The firm specializes exclusively in commercial construction across the U.S. Southeast, delivering projects through general contracting, Construction Management at Risk (CMAR) with Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP), pre-construction services, integrated Design-Build, sustainable building practices, and Butler pre-engineered metal buildings. Its core technology is conventional construction management augmented by the CMAR/GMP delivery model and its Butler Manufacturing OEM partnership for pre-engineered metal building systems.

The company is supported by 34 full-time employees with an average tenure of 16 years, and is led by CEO Joseph B. Fraser III (LEED AP) alongside President Jay Fraser, CFO Ryan Beck, VP of Operations Tyler Burner, General Superintendent Paul San Juan, and Director of Marketing Rob Lembo. Revenue is generated through project-based, one-time fees awarded via competitive bidding (public and private RFPs) and direct client engagement, with pricing established through GMP negotiations or standard bid processes rather than published tiers. Customer segments span commercial developers, government entities (e.g., City of Beaufort, Beaufort County), educational institutions (USCB, Cross Schools), hospitality/resort properties (Moss Creek), and religious/nonprofit organizations (Church of the Cross), with project acquisition driven by a regional field-sales motion, a project portfolio website, and relationship-based repeat engagements.
