Linden Construction

What Linden Construction does

Linden Construction of South Carolina, Inc. is a privately held commercial general contractor founded in 1993 and headquartered in Mount Pleasant, SC. The firm offers an integrated service portfolio spanning pre-construction (budgeting, estimating, value engineering), design/build, general construction, and construction management, with specialized capabilities in tenant improvements, historical restorations, and new ground-up construction across class A office, retail, medical, hospitality, multi-family, and industrial asset classes. Its go-to-market is selective and relationship-driven, pursuing projects through direct engagement with developers, property owners, and repeat clients rather than open bidding volume, supported by proactive cost management via internal quantity take-offs, subcontractor bid evaluation, and selective self-perform of certain trades.

The company operates primarily across the Southeast U.S., anchored in the Charleston, SC metro with active project presence in Bluffton, Horry County, and Asheville, NC. Revenue is generated through project-based fixed-price and negotiated contracts, with no disclosed pricing or subscription model. The customer base spans national and regional real estate developers (Madison Capital, RangeWater, Meritage Homes, K. Hovnanian, East West Partners, RealOp), healthcare systems (HCA Healthcare, Summerville Medical Center), government (U.S. Geological Survey), hospitality chains (Chicken Salad Chick franchisee Sing Bev Hospitality, Home Team BBQ, Whit's Frozen Custard, Kairos Mediterranean), and financial institutions (GrandSouth Bank). Leadership is founder-owned, with Brandon Linden as President and a six-person senior team including VPs of Field Operations, Project Management, and Preconstruction. The firm has cumulatively built 1,000,000+ square feet across its portfolio and is actively hiring project management and field staff, signaling capacity expansion.
