Neeley Construction Company

What Neeley Construction Company does

Neeley Construction Company is a third-generation, family-owned general contractor headquartered in Puyallup, Washington, with a satellite office in Sequim. Founded in the 1960s by Alvin Neeley originally as Neeley Construction and Cabinet Co., the firm specializes in K-12 and higher education construction, alongside commercial, government, tribal, and nonprofit projects across Western Washington. Its service portfolio spans new construction, renovations, additions, tenant improvements, athletic field and synthetic turf installation, and special municipal projects, delivered through GC/CM (General Contractor/Construction Manager), design-build, and traditional lump-sum contracting methods.

The company's core technology is construction management expertise rather than software or proprietary platforms; its most distinctive operational capability is GC/CM delivery, developed through state pilot programs beginning in 2003 when current President Mitch Neeley served as a project manager at Lydig. Neeley has accumulated experience both as a GC/CM prime contractor and as a subcontractor on more than $5 million of GC/CM bid packages for firms including Skanska, Korsmo, and Lydig. The firm maintains a formal subcontractor bid invitation system and a STEP Award-recognized safety program from Associated Builders and Contractors.

Neeley operates as a professional-services general contractor on a project-based revenue model, generating income from per-project construction contracts awarded through competitive public bidding and negotiated private work. With 16 employees, the firm leverages subcontractors heavily for execution. Its go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven, anchored in repeat public-sector clients (notably Western Washington K-12 school districts), supplemented by higher education institutions, municipal agencies, tribal governments, and nonprofit organizations. Pricing is project-specific with no disclosed tiers.
