Bordeaux Construction Company

What Bordeaux Construction Company does

Bordeaux Construction Company, Inc. is a third-generation, family-owned general contractor headquartered in Morrisville, North Carolina, founded in 1977 in Durham, NC. The firm specializes in public-sector construction across North Carolina, serving K-12 school districts, higher education institutions, county and municipal governments, healthcare providers, and commercial clients. It has completed over $1 billion in construction projects since founding, including 300+ K-12 schools and $350 million delivered through Construction Management at Risk (CMAR).

The company's core service portfolio spans six lines: Preconstruction, Virtual Design & Construction (BIM), CMAR, Design-Build, Facilities Management, and Sustainable Construction. These are delivered across eight market sectors: K-12 Educational, Civic, Higher Education, Health Sciences, Commercial & Retail, Sports & Recreation, Specialty & Historical, and Cultural. Its technical backbone is BIM used on all projects for virtual construction coordination, supplemented by web-based collaboration tools and field tablets. Sustainable construction capabilities include LEED-certified and Net-Zero Energy buildings, with the firm having completed the first LEED Platinum Elementary School in North Carolina (Northside Elementary, 2013).

Revenue is generated through project-based contracts secured via competitive bidding on public procurements and through alternative delivery methods (CMAR and Design-Build) that enable earlier client engagement. Customers are concentrated in North Carolina government and public-sector entities, with notable repeat relationships across Wake, Pender, New Hanover, Durham, Randolph, Granville, and Bladen counties. The firm holds the OSHA SHARP designation (1 of 3 GCs in NC), ABC STEP Diamond certification, and NCDOL Gold safety credentials, and was recognized as an ENR Southeast Top 100 Firm. Leadership is held by President Blair Bordeaux (third generation) and Vice President Ben Warren.
