Experience

Over the last two decades, Trident Construction has successfully completed projects throughout the Southeast ranging from tenant up-fits to complex industrial manufacturing facilities. We are licensed in South Carolina, North Carolina, Georgia, Florida, and Alabama.

Trident Construction strongly believes that value is created for our clients in the planning and design stages of a project and is maintained throughout the construction process. Our approach is to work with the owner and the design team to provide fact-based construction alternatives and budget options in developing project costs and schedules. Our TeamBuild process has proven to be the most effective way to complete construction projects, manage construction costs and maintain our commitment to quality with no surprises.

Commitment to Quality and Safety

SuperQC is Trident Construction's employee-driven quality program. Lead by our superintendents, SuperQC is a commitment from all of our construction professionals and our sub-contractors to identify and manage any issue that could impact quality and the life cycle of our construction projects, from the early planning stages throughout construction.

TeamSafety is our commitment to a safe work place. From the construction site to the office, safety is a focus. We have one of the best safety records in our industry.
