What The Corbett Group does

The Corbett Group is a privately held, family-owned heavy civil and utility construction contractor headquartered in Douglasville, Georgia. Founded in 1968 as Corbett Construction by Roger Corbett Sr. in Vidalia, GA, the firm pivoted in 1986 from site development into heavy infrastructure installation and rehabilitation. In 2001 Michael Corbett assumed ownership, reorganized the company under The Corbett Group name, and relocated operations to the Atlanta metropolitan area. The company executes water, sewer, and storm drainage installation, site preparation (clearing, demolition, grading), and post-installation restoration, with specialty capabilities in trenchless technology and manhole rehabilitation for the utility service industry.

The company owns or directly accesses large grading, excavating, and curbing equipment, allowing it to self-perform utility inspection, repair, and rehabilitation without depending on rental fleets or subcontractor markups. It is a State of Georgia licensed utility contractor and holds Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) certifications with the City of Atlanta, surrounding counties, the Georgia Department of Transportation, and the State of South Carolina Governor's office, and is recognized as a Veteran Company.

Revenue is generated through project-based contracts awarded via competitive public bidding, primarily with municipal and county government agencies and with residential and commercial developers in the southeastern United States. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is determined by project scope, materials, labor, and equipment requirements. Documented engagements include annual water facilities installation contracts, multi-phase county capital projects, and specialized work at regulated facilities such as a nuclear power plant. The company is bootstrapped, with no external investors or funding rounds disclosed in the source data.
