Brivar Construction Company

What Brivar Construction Company does

Brivar Construction Company is a privately held design-build construction firm headquartered in Brighton, Michigan, founded in 1988 and led by President/CEO Craig Stockard. The firm delivers projects through four integrated service lines — Pre-Construction Services, Design-Build, General Contracting, and Construction Management — covering land procurement, financing, permitting, design, value engineering, construction, and occupancy support. Its differentiated offering includes a patented Quality Assurance Program used to enforce on-site safety and accountability, combined with established relationships across Michigan municipalities, brokers, and financial institutions that allow it to bundle permitting and tax-abatement assistance into pre-construction engagements.

The company serves enterprise, municipal, healthcare, recreational, educational, and nonprofit clients across industrial, commercial, warehousing, R&D/lab, medical, and renovation markets. Completed projects include the 172,000 SF NLB Corporation headquarters, the 497,000 SF Charlotte Distribution Center renovation, a 134,000 SF facility for Exotic Automation & Supply, the 147,000 SF Presque Isle Electric & Gas service center, and the 16,648 SF Brighton Area Fire Authority Station 34. Brivar manages projects valued at $100MM+ throughout the country while maintaining a Michigan regional operational base and a core subcontractor network that facilitates execution.

Revenue is generated through one-time project contracts priced per scope, with no recurring or subscription model. Customer acquisition is primarily driven by project portfolio showcasing on its website, client logo displays, and direct client engagement via phone and email. As of 2024, Brivar is pursuing WBENC certification, which would formalize its status as a women-owned business and unlock supplier-diversity procurement channels. The firm operates with 11-50 employees and has no disclosed funding rounds, parent company, or public-market presence.
