What Whaley Construction Co., Inc. does

Whaley Construction Company, Inc. is a privately held industrial and commercial construction firm headquartered in Troy, Alabama. Established in 1931 originally as Whaley Lumber Company, the firm evolved from a steam-powered sawmill into a modern construction services provider operating across South Central Alabama. The company serves municipal governments, educational institutions, industrial manufacturers, healthcare providers, commercial businesses, sports facilities, and religious organizations through five integrated service lines: Conventional Construction, Design Build, BIM Projects, Construction Management, and Pre-Construction Services. Named customers include Lockheed Martin, Sikorsky, Wayne Farms, KW Plastics, Troy University, Pike County Board of Education, the City of Troy, and Troy Regional Medical Center.

The company's service portfolio is anchored by Building Information Modeling (BIM) capabilities using 5-D modeling concepts and software interoperability, delivered by staff trained through the AGC BIM Education Program. Operations are supported by Procore construction management software for pre-bid correspondence, addendum distribution, and document control. A full-time Safety Director implements AGC's nationally recognized safety program across project sites.

Revenue is generated through competitive bidding on public and private sector construction projects, with pricing determined per project and no standard tiers or public rate disclosure. Approximately 90% of business is sourced from repeat clients, reflecting a relationship-based sales motion. The firm operates exclusively through direct sales and competitive tendering within South Central Alabama, with no resellers, distributors, or marketplace channels. No revenue, headcount, or ownership details are publicly disclosed.
