Burk Construction & Development, LLC

What Burk Construction & Development, LLC does

Burk Construction & Development, LLC is a privately held, founder-owned construction and real estate development firm headquartered at 6260 Vicksburg Street, New Orleans, Louisiana, founded in 2000 by Billy Burk and GiGi Gaubert Burk. The company operates a multi-entity affiliate structure—BPI Home Builder, BPI Construction, Starlight Studios, Burk Engineering and Management, and Burk Brokerage Real Estate—that delivers an integrated build-to-brokerage vertical for residential, commercial, and industrial clients in the Greater New Orleans market. Service offerings span custom home construction, luxury residential renovations, end-to-end commercial construction for projects ranging from $1 million to $50 million, real estate development (spec homes, multifamily, mixed-use, commercial, and film industry infrastructure), and specialty add-ons including Fortified-certified hurricane-resistant construction and home generator installation. Burk is the first and only Certified Fortified Professional in the Greater New Orleans Area, a credential aligned with Louisiana's August 2023 mandate requiring insurers to disclose Fortified home discounts.

The business is services-led rather than technology-led, with no app, API, SDK, or AI/ML capability disclosed. The proprietary "Builds by Burk Process" emphasizes transparent client engagement through design, permitting, and construction, supported by 2–3 architect/designer meetings upfront and weekly walkthroughs during projects. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time construction contracts (custom homes, renovations, commercial projects) and transaction-based fees via Burk Brokerage; pricing is project-specific and quote-based, with no publicly disclosed tiers. The ~9-person core team is lean for the scale of work executed, relying on a curated network of local vendors, architects, engineers, and fully insured subcontractors to deliver projects. Go-to-market is sales-led and consultative, with direct website, phone, email, and on-site consultations as primary intake channels, supplemented by Instagram, Facebook, SEO, email newsletters, and earned media from industry awards (Parade of Homes, City Business Reader Rankings). Customer base is fragmented across individual residential buyers and mid-market commercial clients, with cumulative production of 500+ projects totaling $213,123,643 over the firm's history and the Burk principals having developed over $250 million and sold over $225 million since 2000.
