What Winters Construction does

Winters Construction LLC is a privately held general contractor founded in 2008 by Britton Jones and headquartered in Oxford, Mississippi. The company specializes in workforce housing development, providing complete general contracting services from raw land through certificates of occupancy for multi-family apartments, quadplex-style townhouses, and single-family detached housing. Its portfolio spans projects valued from $500,000 to $14.3 million, with notable first-mover credentials including the first LEED Platinum certified single-family rentals in Mississippi (2011-2012) and the 2014 Mississippi Home Corporation Best Tax Credit Development award. Winters has built more than 1,650 units across Mississippi, Arkansas, Florida, Louisiana, Tennessee, and Texas, sustaining an average cadence of roughly four developments per year.

The company operates a project-based, fee-for-service revenue model with one-time project contracts priced per development, targeting enterprise-scale developers and tax-credit syndicators seeking certified green construction (NGBS Bronze/Silver/Gold, LEED Platinum, Energy Star, and increasingly Enterprise Green and Fortified Gold). Customer acquisition is referral-driven, relying on direct developer relationships and repeat engagements rather than formal marketing channels. Distribution is direct-to-developer field sales across a six-state Southeast footprint.

Operationally, Winters runs a lean organization led by founder Britton Jones (Construction Management degree, MBA) and a tenured field team including Regional Superintendent Clay Calhoun (35+ years) and Superintendent Kenneth Ezell (40+ years). The firm positions itself as combining small-company accessibility — direct access to decision-makers — with large-company execution capacity, emphasizing real-time project communication, on-time delivery, and budget adherence as core differentiators in the workforce housing construction segment.

Direct peers

• Pennrose: Pennrose is a Philadelphia-based developer and GC of affordable, workforce, and mixed-income housing operating across more than a dozen states. Its LIHTC-driven pipeline, in-house construction management capability, and Sun Belt expansion make it a direct strategic peer for Winters' tax-credit development model.
• Flintco LLC: Flintco is a Tulsa-based, 100% employee-owned GC with a strong Texas and Southwest multifamily practice. It is comparable to Winters as a regional, relationship-led contractor serving affordable/workforce housing developers and has overlapping geographic reach into Texas and Arkansas.
• Hoar Construction: Hoar Construction is a Birmingham-based, family-controlled GC with a strong Southeast multifamily and commercial portfolio. Its tightly-held, relationship-driven delivery model mirrors Winters' positioning and it competes for similar developer-led mid-size multifamily projects.
• Doster Construction Company: Doster is a Southeast-focused GC specializing in multifamily, senior living, and student housing. It competes head-to-head with Winters for tax-credit and market-rate developer relationships in Mississippi, Alabama, Tennessee, and Florida, and has a similar mid-sized regional operating profile.
• Robins & Morton: Robins & Morton is a Birmingham-based GC with deep Southeast presence and active multifamily, healthcare, and commercial work. It overlaps with Winters on multifamily construction for tax-credit and private developers across the same six-state region.
• Brasfield & Gorrie: Brasfield & Gorrie is one of the largest privately held general contractors in the Southeast, with substantial multifamily and mixed-use expertise across Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, Tennessee, and Texas. It is the closest scaled regional peer to Winters in geographic footprint, multifamily delivery model, and customer base of developers.
• The NRP Group: NRP Group is a Cleveland-based developer, general contractor, and property manager specializing in LIHTC and workforce multifamily housing across the Sun Belt. It is highly comparable because it integrates GC self-performance with tax-credit development, directly competing for the same developer/financing partners as Winters.
• B.L. Harbert International: B.L. Harbert International is a Birmingham-headquartered GC with commercial, multifamily, and federal projects throughout the Southeast and beyond. Its regional platform and multifamily capabilities make it a comparable peer for developer-sourced workforce housing builds.

Broad incumbents

• The Weitz Company: The Weitz Company is a national, employee-owned GC with a defined multifamily and senior living vertical. It competes with Winters at the larger end of the multifamily spectrum and shares a private, family-controlled operating culture and developer-relationship GTM.
• Clark Construction Group: Clark Construction is a top-tier national GC operating across commercial, residential, and infrastructure. While not specialized in workforce housing, it serves as a broad incumbent whose multifamily and mixed-use work overlaps with the upper end of Winters' project range (e.g., $14.3M Hamlet).
