Commercial General Contractors Serving Metro Atlanta

Decades of Atlanta relationships

Coca-Cola has trusted Van Winkle with more than 800 projects since 1937, and Delta Air Lines has called on us since building its Computer Center in 1967. That history is why businesses across Metro Atlanta still turn to us as commercial general Contractors and a commercial construction company today. As commercial building construction companies go, we've built office, retail, and mixed-use projects for clients who value a partner that's been doing this since before most of their competitors existed.

A firm number before you break ground:

That longevity shows up most clearly in repeat work. A Guaranteed Maximum Price makes up the majority of what we deliver, giving an Owner a firm number before a shovel goes in the ground, though we also take on traditional Design-Bid-Build projects where that delivery method fits the client's process better.

Office, retail, and mixed-use across the metro

Metro Atlanta's commercial market runs from downtown office towers to suburban retail centers and mixed-use developments, and as commercial general Contractors and commercial building construction companies we've built across nearly all of it. Some clients come to us for ground-up construction; others bring us in as commercial renovation Contractors to rework an occupied building around a business that never stops operating. For an Owner weighing a build against other uses of capital, the value is early certainty: the same preconstruction team prices the work against real subcontractor bids before design is finished, so the budget behind a go or no-go decision is one that will still hold when the job starts. Decades of Atlanta relationships mean those bids come back faster and more accurately than they would for a Contractor new to the market, and the person who prices a commercial project here is often the same one who walks it once construction begins. After nine decades in one market, that kind of continuity is what an Atlanta Owner is really buying, not just a bid.

Commercial Construction in Metro Atlanta

Metro Atlanta's commercial market spans everything from downtown office towers to suburban retail centers, and Van Winkle has built across nearly all of it since 1931. As commercial design build Contractors, we manage the project from concept through completion, or step in as general Contractor when the design is already set. Either way, the same preconstruction team prices the work before committing to a number, so an Owner knows the real budget before design is finished, not after. For a business Owner weighing a build against other uses of capital, that early certainty is often the difference between moving forward and holding off.
