Brasfield & Gorrie, L.L.C. — Birmingham, Alabama. One privately held builder, read entirely from the public record, 1921 to 2026.
Named for a 400-foot tower the firm slip-formed in fifty-six days: one continuous pour, self-performed, the formwork climbing as the concrete sets beneath it.
Six rules govern every claim on the following seventeen sheets. They are the reason this document can hold contradictory figures without becoming useless.
Four dates are in circulation as the founding of Brasfield & Gorrie. All four are correct. They describe four different events, and the difference between them is the whole discipline of this document.
One operating company sits inside a family of at least twelve registered vehicles. Resolving which entity a claim attaches to is the blocking step — every figure on every later sheet depends on it.

This is the flagship sheet. It is also the clearest live demonstration of why a knowledge base has to type its numbers before it charts them.
Eight revenue-shaped numbers were in circulation about this one company within a six-week window in 2026.
Roughly $350M a year when the current CEO joined out of Auburn. The climb is not in dispute. The last point is.
A rank is not a revenue figure, and a marketing shorthand is not a rank. The firm holds three number-one placements in the 2026 regional tables — none of them on the list its shorthand names.
Ten headline quantities, each carrying its own metric type and its own caveat. None of them are interchangeable.
Most large general contractors describe themselves as builders. This one owns the trades, the equipment and the training that make the claim testable — and it publishes exactly one number about it.
Most contractors at this scale publish one centralized technology group with one named director. This firm publicly names three functions plus a separate CIO — and does not publish where the lines between them fall.
Thirteen named platforms. The important column is not the name — it is whether a tool is in production, in pilot, or attested only by a case study that proves nothing about enterprise deployment.
A funded, named laboratory inside a university building-construction school is a recruiting instrument as much as a research one. It is also the clearest single statement the firm has made about where it expects its next technologists to come from.
Thirteen offices across eight states, opened in four distinct waves over forty years. The interesting mechanism is not the map — it is what the offices do together.
Texas is the firm's declared growth region and the place where this record set can be checked most precisely — because the firm publishes a denominator.
Thirty named projects against a firm-declared 631 active and six decades of prior work. This is a landmark sample and it is labelled as one.
A complete C-suite, a regional president layer, and a technology bench that is only partly visible. The 2025 leadership transition is settled in primary sources and still stale in third-party profiles.
Safety, quality and legal exposure — reported procedurally, with the gaps named. This is the sheet where the public record runs thinnest and the temptation to infer is strongest.
Sixteen places where the public record contradicts itself or runs out. Nine of them dissolve once the metric types are named. Seven do not — and those are the honest boundary of what an outside reader can know.
What this document covers, what it does not, and what would prove it wrong.
