About Clinch Construction
Carolina-based and owner-operated, Clinch Construction was founded as a commercial construction company to serve small to mid-market commercial projects with the expertise and attention they deserve. Learn more about our story and the proven process that sets us apart.
Founded on Experience. Driven by Excellence.
Clinch Construction was born from a simple observation: there’s a significant gap in the commercial construction market in the Carolinas. While exceptional contractors focus on large-scale developments, mid-market projects often get overlooked or handed to builders without the systems and expertise these important projects deserve.
We built our company on the principle that every commercial project deserves the highest level of professional service, project management, and quality craftsmanship. Whether it’s a $500,000 buildout or a $5 million development, each project budget is unique and just as important to that owner as a $100 million budget is to a corporation. As local owner-operators based in Charlotte, we’re committed to delivering proven systems and expertise to mid-market commercial construction projects while building lasting relationships with our clients and community.
Meet Your Project Leaders
Created by best friends and business partners, Clinch brings more than 10 years of industry experience to both commercial and residential construction. We put a personal touch on every project that you won’t find with a big builder – because you need a partner, not just a contractor.

Our Values & Philosophy
Building More Than Structures
We believe commercial construction creates the foundation for businesses to thrive, communities to grow, and dreams to become reality. Every project we touch has the potential to impact lives and livelihoods, which is why we approach each one with the respect and dedication it deserves.
Stewardship of Investment
Every dollar our clients invest represents hard work, careful planning, and faith in their vision. We honor that trust by treating every project budget as if it were our own, making decisions that maximize value while maintaining uncompromising quality standards.
Relationships Built on Trust
Business success comes from genuine relationships built on mutual respect, honest communication, and shared commitment to excellence. We earn trust through consistent actions, not just words, and we believe the strongest foundations are built on integrity.
