Brunson Construction Co

What Brunson Construction Co does

Brunson Construction Company is a family-owned general contractor headquartered in Hampton, South Carolina, founded in 1948 by Henry Christopher Brunson, Sr. The firm provides commercial construction services across three primary service lines: convenience store construction (its specialty, including new builds and renovations with fuel equipment systems, car wash integrations, and foodservice layouts), industrial construction (warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and flex space — totaling close to one million square feet), and general commercial construction (banks, retail, offices, self-storage, churches, fire stations). A secondary residential and historic preservation practice rounds out the offering. Brunson serves customers primarily in South Carolina and Georgia, with a flagship convenience store customer base including Spinx, Parker's, Enmarket, and Bluewater, alongside industrial clients such as NUPI Americas and Le Creuset, and commercial clients including South Atlantic Bank and Ace Hardware.

The company differentiates through self-performing construction capabilities — maintaining in-house crews for foundation work, floor slab placement and finishing, concrete paving, masonry, carpentry, and finishing trades — supported by GPS layout systems (TopCon) and project scheduling software. The company operates a wholly-owned building materials subsidiary (Brunson Building Supply) and a wholly-owned crate manufacturing facility, creating vertical integration into adjacent operating businesses. Four generations of family ownership, with current leadership including President Wallie Hiers (joined 1986), Senior Vice President Gregg M. Brunson (joined 1998), and Vice President Chase Hiers (joined 2015), provide continuity and accessible project leadership.

Brunson generates revenue through fixed-price and cost-plus general contracting arrangements, plus design-build delivery on commercial projects. The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales targeting convenience store chains, industrial developers, and commercial property owners through competitive bidding and design-build negotiation. Marketing is conducted through a company website, case study content, social media (LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), and reputation-based referrals from architecture firms and repeat clients. The firm operates two offices (Hampton, SC headquarters; Beaufort, SC regional office) and employs over 80 people across the construction and subsidiary operations.
