What Petrie Construction does

Petrie Construction LLC is a family-owned commercial construction company founded in 2013 and headquartered in Aberdeen, Maryland, with branch offices in Liverpool, New York (Northeast) and Tampa, Florida (Southeast). The firm delivers a full suite of construction services—construction management, design-build, general contracting, preconstruction, self-perform, sustainable construction, and virtual design/BIM—across commercial verticals including entertainment, retail, hospitality, industrial, healthcare, government, education, childcare, and office. Its customer base includes enterprise clients such as AMC Theatres, Marriott, The Ritz Carlton, Best Buy, Walgreens, Trader Joe's, Raytheon, Collins Aerospace, Pepsi, Frito-Lay, and Brookfield, and recent project scopes range from a 42,000 sq ft ground-up warehouse build (Richstone) to multi-story hospitality venues (Sawgrass Cabana Club) and multi-location retail renovations.

The firm operates on a project-based revenue model with custom-quoted contracts; pricing is not publicly disclosed and each engagement is scoped individually. Go-to-market is sales-led, relying on direct outreach, website-driven project inquiries, relationship-based business development, and a portfolio of marquee case studies. Marketing presence is modest—company website, LinkedIn, and Facebook—with no formal digital demand generation or SEO stack evident. The team is approximately 24 people, led by Founder Doug Petrie, CEO Adam Petrie, and CFO Kerri Petrie, supported by on-staff estimators, project managers, superintendents, a Director of Construction Services, and administrative staff. The most technology-forward offering is Building Information Modeling (BIM) and virtual design services, but there is no disclosed AI/ML stack, no proprietary software products, no mobile apps, no public APIs, and no integration ecosystem.

Petrie Construction is independently owned and operated by the Petrie family, with no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, external investors, or parent company affiliations. It holds memberships with industry bodies including ABC Greater Baltimore, ACI (American Concrete Institute), AIC (American Institute of Contractors), Building Congress and Exchange, the Harford County Chamber of Commerce, and the US Green Building Council (USGBC), the last of which supports LEED-aligned sustainable construction work. Revenue, headcount growth velocity, backlog, and forward demand signals are not publicly disclosed.
