What Sperry and Associates Construction does

Sperry and Associates Construction, operating as Sperry Construction, is an employee-owned commercial general contractor founded in 1973 in Tallahassee, Florida. The firm plans, designs, and constructs customized buildings for private sector clients across North Florida, Georgia, and Alabama, holding state contractor licenses in all three jurisdictions (FL#CGC021956, GA#GCCO002831, AL#51911). Its core capabilities span bid-build, design-build, and construction management delivery methods, with a hallmark specialization in pre-engineered metal buildings developed over nearly 50 years of work alongside American steel manufacturers.

The company's revenue model is project-based, with one-time contract fees sourced primarily through direct enterprise field sales and repeat relationships; management indicates more than half of new work arrives from existing client referrals. The customer base spans automotive dealerships (Capital Eurocars, Crown Motors), industrial manufacturing (Danfoss Turbocor, eBottles), retail/cannabis (Fine Fettle Dispensaries), self-storage (CubeSmart), faith-based (City Church), and education/childcare (Miracles in Me). Service scope extends beyond core construction through two wholly-owned affiliates: Metal Building Services Inc. (MBSI) for metal building maintenance and retrofit roofing, and Commercial Repair & Renovation Inc. (CRR) for ongoing facility renovations and accessibility upgrades.

Strategically, Sperry Construction has consolidated its position in the Southeast regional market through marquee project wins including a $60 million, 145,000 sq ft carbon neutral manufacturing facility for Danfoss Turbocor and a 121,000 sq ft climate-controlled storage facility for CubeSmart. The company is led by President Bart Wells, with an executive team comprising Director of Operations Matt Edwards, Director of Construction Clayton Wells, VP of Business Development Jay Bostwick, CFO Kim Katzenbach, and affiliate presidents Jeremy Deese (CRR) and Tim Lundy (MBSI). Geographic scope remains tightly held to the tri-state Southeast region with no expansion signals beyond it in the source material.
