General Contracting
General Contracting Across the Southeast
Pre-construction, construction management, and design-build delivery for hotel, multi-family, and commercial projects — backed by seven decades of Southeast building experience.
Who We Are
Single-Source Accountability From Ground to Certificate of Occupancy
General contracting is about more than putting a building up — it is about controlling scope, schedule, and budget from the first shovel to the final walk-through. Since 1955, Pinkerton & Laws has served as general contractor on more than 400 projects across the Southeast, spanning hotel, multi-family, assisted living, and commercial construction.
Our general contracting approach starts with pre-construction. Before mobilization, we develop a detailed cost model, review constructability, and value-engineer the scope with the owner and design team. That upfront work prevents the change-order cascades and schedule slips that erode margins. Browse our project portfolio to see the range of buildings we have delivered.
We operate from Atlanta and Orlando, giving us deep subcontractor relationships and code knowledge across Georgia, Florida, Alabama, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia. For owners evaluating delivery methods, our general contractor overview breaks down what to expect when you bring us on as your builder.
What We Do
What General Contracting Looks Like With Us
Pre-Construction & Estimating
Detailed cost models, constructability reviews, and value engineering before mobilization so owners control scope and budget before ground breaks — not after.
Construction Management
On-site superintendents, critical-path scheduling, and real-time progress reporting across every trade, keeping the owner informed and the project on track.
Design-Build Delivery
Single-source accountability from concept through certificate of occupancy, streamlining communication between designer, owner, and builder under one contract.
Self-Perform Trades
Our own crews handle concrete foundations, rough carpentry, and selective demolition, reducing schedule risk on the critical-path activities that drive the timeline.
Quality Control & Safety
Quarterly quality and safety meetings, manufacturer-specific training partnerships, and building envelope verification on every project — not just at closeout.
Multi-Trade Coordination
Managing MEP, envelope, and finish subcontractors across complex mixed-use and hospitality sites with a single point of contact for the owner.

How We Work
How We Run a General Contracting Project
Project Discovery & Scope Definition
We sit down with the owner and design team to understand building type, site conditions, budget parameters, and target delivery date before any scope is locked in.
Pre-Construction & Budget Development
We build a detailed cost model, review constructability, value-engineer the scope, and assemble a baseline critical-path schedule that aligns with your opening or occupancy date.
Procurement & Subcontractor Selection
We solicit and evaluate trade bids from our regional subcontractor network, award contracts, and lock in long-lead items before mobilization to protect the schedule.
Construction & Quality Control
Our on-site superintendents run daily quality and safety checkpoints, coordinate trades, and report progress against the baseline schedule throughout the build.
Closeout & Warranty
We walk the project with the owner, resolve punch items, secure certificate of occupancy, and hand over warranty documentation so you can open on schedule.
