The company originated in 1964 when Miller Gorrie acquired the assets of Thomas C. Brasfield, Inc. in Birmingham, Alabama, and completed its first project [1]. The firm officially changed its name to Brasfield & Gorrie, Inc. in 1967 [1]. Early growth included completing the first healthcare project in 1965 [1] and expanding into water and wastewater treatment plants in 1977 [1]. The firm demonstrated early efficiency in 1970 by completing a three-story office building 11 days ahead of schedule, despite significant delays [1].
Geographic expansion accelerated in the 1980s and 1990s, driven partly by success during the Emerald Coast condo boom [1]. This period saw the opening of offices in Atlanta, Georgia, and Orlando, Florida, in 1984 [1], followed by Raleigh, North Carolina, and Nashville, Tennessee, in 1998 [1]. Notable projects included completing the concrete structural frame of Atlanta’s Georgia Dome in 1991, which was the largest covered stadium in the world at the time [1], and the opening of the AT&T Building in Nashville in 1994, which became the tallest building in Tennessee [1].
The 2000s marked significant project achievements and further expansion, including the completion of an emergency bridge replacement on I-65 in downtown Birmingham 53 days ahead of schedule in 2002 [1]. The iconic Georgia Aquarium, the firm’s first project of that kind and the largest in the world, opened in Atlanta in 2005 [1].
