Testimonials

Donnie Smith

Former Director, Chambers County EMA

“Principle Construction was absolutely phenomenal! I have been through a number of building projects throughout my career, and this has been, by far, the easiest one.”

Theron Gay

County Administrator, Meriwether County

“Meriwether County had four new fire stations designed and bid, only to discover the design and construction cost significantly exceeded our projected budget. Principle Construction, Mr. Moody, and their staff worked with our County to develop cost saving measures, rework drawings to accomodate the neccessary changes, and bring the project within budget.”

Earl Cox

Director of Facilities, WellStar West Georgia Health

“Principle Construction did our build-outs for Buildings 100, 300 and 700. Their team communicated well, were safe, and did an excellent job. They are experts in Design-Build construction. I can recommend them and will work with them again.”

Byron Hawkins

Chief, NW Harris Volunteer Fire Department

“Your ability to approach a project such as this in a very competent and professional manner was invaluable toward the completion on time, within budget and with exceptional quality. Your people went out of their way to keep us informed and your site management was excellent.”

Eric L. Mosley

County Manager, Troup County

“We recently completed a $1.2 million private/public renovation of the McCluskey Tennis Center. Principle Construction was our contractor and though we experienced a very rainy winter and there were many unplanned complications, progress was not impeded and ultimately the project was completed on time and within budget. I personally have enjoyed working with their Project Manager and Superintendent throughout the process. Choosing Principle Construction was definitely the right choice for Troup County.”
