Grillot Construction

What Grillot Construction does

Grillot Construction, LLC is a private heavy civil, commercial, environmental, and marine construction contractor founded in 1971 and headquartered in Belle Chasse, Louisiana. The firm provides a single integrated service offering across four divisions: civil construction (roads, bridges, water reservoirs, subdivisions, dams), commercial construction (office, warehouse, retail), environmental construction (engineering, consulting, assessments, remediation), and marine construction (piers, bulkheads, seawalls, marina reconstruction). Specialized capabilities include mechanical and hydraulic dredging, pile driving from floating plant, levee construction and repair, coastal restoration and dune work, marine debris removal, and disaster-response services including oil spill cleanup. The company has maintained small business status for 45+ continuous years and uses specialized amphibious equipment to operate in sensitive wetland and waterway environments.

The company generates revenue through project-based contracts acquired primarily via competitive bidding against a published bid calendar, supplemented by direct client relationships. Its go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting federal, state, and municipal government agencies — most prominently the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Wilmington, Fort Worth, and New Orleans Districts), U.S. Coast Guard, Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA), and various municipal and parish governments — as well as a smaller private sector book including utilities (North Texas Municipal Water District, City of Denison, Florida Power & Light) and private developers. The firm also operates as a subcontractor on larger primes such as Archer Western Construction. Pricing is quote-based, determined project by project, with no standard tiers or publicly disclosed rates. Operating geographies span Louisiana, Florida, Alabama, North Carolina, and Texas, with a Southeast U.S. regional focus.

The business is family-controlled, with Danny Grillot representing the third generation of family involvement and Kerry Stafford serving as Managing Member since 2015. Management consists of four named Members covering operations, field execution, and administration, supported by a headcount of 1-10 employees as listed in firmographics. Past performance includes notable scale: 489 miles of debris removal for USCG, 150 acres of dry-bottomland hardwood forest creation at Bayou Segnette, 95 acres of marsh creation with over 1 million cubic yards hydraulically dredged, and 47 miles of drainage creek storm-damage flood-control work with 8,000+ trees removed. No external parent, institutional ownership, or funding rounds are identified.
