Founded as the Thomas C. Brasfield Company by its namesake in 1921, the company originally performed small commercial and remodeling projects.[4] The company continued in this market until it was acquired in 1964 by Miller Gorrie, who changed the company's name to Brasfield & Gorrie in 1967.[4] As the company grew, Gorrie moved its focus to larger commercial, industrial, and institutional projects.[4] Brasfield & Gorrie expanded its operations in the late 1960s and early 1970s to include high-rise and specialty concrete structures, and expanded further in 1977 to include infrastructure projects, including water and sewage treatment plants.[4] The company diversified into the healthcare industry in 1969 and has continued to the present day. In 1985, Brasfield & Gorrie created two new regions of operation by opening offices in Atlanta, Georgia and Orlando, Florida.[4] It has additional offices in Raleigh, North Carolina, Nashville, Tennessee, Jacksonville, Florida, Dallas, Texas, and Columbus, Georgia. Brasfield & Gorrie has grown in contract revenues from less than $1 million in its first year of operation in 1964 to nearly $5 billion in 2022.[1][4]
