Lurvey Construction

What Lurvey Construction does

Lurvey Construction is a privately held, boutique general contractor and construction management firm founded in 2011 and headquartered in Flint, Michigan. The company delivers construction management, general contracting, preconstruction, design-build, program management, and self-perform work across five specialty markets: healthcare, historic preservation, education, mixed-use/multi-family, and retail/automotive/industrial, with mid-Michigan as its sole operating geography. Notable completed projects include the Hilton Garden Inn Flint Downtown ($28M historic renovation), GHS Center for Children's Integrated Services ($23M, ~60,000 sf), Powers Catholic High School ($36M, 158,000 sf), The Grand on University ($16.7M mixed-income development), and Livewell on Harrison (~$40M mixed-use with integrated YMCA and clinic).

The firm is led by founder and President & CEO David Lurvey, whose prior leadership roles at mid-Michigan construction firms delivered more than $1 billion in cumulative project volume, supported by VP-level operators across finance and administration (Mary Allard), field operations (Chad Jones), and project management (Mike Draper). Lurray self-performs key trades including concrete, carpentry, demolition, and finish work, giving the firm direct cost and schedule control that few comparable mid-sized regional GCs can match. The WELLBUILT brand promise, AIA Michigan recognition for both new construction and historic preservation, and the liftFLINT workforce development program round out the company's positioning.

Revenue is generated through negotiated and hard-bid contracts on a project basis, with no public pricing tiers and no recurring SaaS-style revenue. Projects are secured through direct enterprise sales to healthcare systems, educational institutions, civic and nonprofit organizations, and commercial developers in mid-Michigan. Distribution is exclusively direct, with no resellers or marketplace channels; the firm's website and LinkedIn serve as primary marketing surfaces. The firm is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, PE backing, or funding events.

Broad incumbents

• Skanska USA: Global construction and development firm with significant U.S. healthcare, education, and civil infrastructure presence. Comparable craft-focused delivery and self-perform capabilities on select scopes, but vastly larger scale, broader geographic reach, and ability to pursue the most complex institutional programs that Lurvey cannot.
• McCarthy Building Companies: St. Louis-based national general contractor with deep healthcare, education, and historic preservation expertise. Comparable craft-oriented delivery model and healthcare specialty, but operates across multiple regions at much larger scale and competes for the same complex medical and institutional work.
• Turner Construction Company: Largest U.S. general contractor with extensive healthcare, education, and commercial expertise and nationwide presence. Competes for the same institutional projects as Lurvey in Michigan markets, but operates at vastly greater scale, deeper bonding capacity, and broader project complexity.
• Gilbane Building Company: Providence, Rhode Island-headquartered national construction firm with strong healthcare, education, and cultural markets. Comparable self-perform capabilities, craft-oriented delivery, and owner-aligned service model, but operates at much greater scale across multiple regions and competes for the same institutional work in Michigan.
• Barton Malow Company: Southfield, Michigan-headquartered construction firm with significantly larger scale, serving healthcare, education, industrial, sports, and commercial markets nationally. Comparable Midwestern roots and healthcare/education expertise, but broader geographic reach, larger bonding capacity, and ability to pursue $100M+ programs that Lurvey cannot.

Direct peers
