Brindley Construction has been chosen by Inspirit Senior Living for three assisted living projects in Tennessee. Two of the projects are 16,000-square-foot, single-story additions to Inspirit Senior Living facilities located in Lebanon, Tennessee and Winchester, Tennessee. The third project is a renovation at Inspirit’s Fayetteville, Tennessee facility.

The recently-completed break room addition at Clayton Cavalier Homes in Addison, Alabama was recognized as one of the most impressive and unique construction projects in 2019 by the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) of Greater Tennessee and the Associated Builders and Contractors of North Alabama. Brindley Construction received an Excellence in Construction Award from both industry organization chapters for its work on the design-build project. In addition to the regional awards, the project earned the coveted ABC National Eagle Award.

Located on the east side of the historic Downtown Pulaski Square, The Standard Drug Building has been a fixture in the community for decades. Last year, owners Dr. Steve Osborne and Dr. Clay Osborne approached us about renovating the building into new office space. The owners have a passion for Pulaski and decided to hire Brindley Construction to make their ideas come to life. They wanted to celebrate The Standard Building as not only a reference to the past, but as a standard to what our beautiful, historic buildings can be with a little tender loving care. They also saw huge potential for the building’s use and also in the beauty of the brick walls, wood ceilings and original flooring.

Wheelerton Baptist Church, located in Dellrose, Tennessee was first established in 1944. By historical standards, Wheelerton Baptist is a recent addition to the membership of Giles County’s religious institutions. Following their first organizational meeting, 14 member families immediately set about making plans to build a church building to house Wheelerton Baptist’s congregation. A building site was donated by Mrs. Vera Soloman, who owned land in the community, and funds and furniture started coming in to the building committee in the amount of $415.68. The committee was able to locate a building belonging to a disbanded church and purchased it for $150. Church members, friends, family and other volunteers dismantled the structure, working to relocate the building to its new home. From some of the lumber, log benches were fashioned as seating for the church.

Brindley Construction is very familiar with healthcare projects—we’ve constructed many assisted living and memory care facilities over the last 20 years. Our recent renovation at The Rutherford, an Inspirit senior living community in Murfreesboro, Tennessee, was unlike any other. The Rutherford underwent much-needed renovations to both the property’s three-story assisted living facility and two-story memory care building. Throughout the project, our team worked closely with Inspirit Regional Director of Asset Management Scott Burkholder, PMP. When selecting a construction company for this project, Scott was seeking various qualities. “It is very important to me to pick a contractor partner for our projects that has experience in the assisted living and memory care space, and Brindley has what I was looking for,” says Scott. “Brindley also has a great staff that strives to produce a quality product with attention to detail.”

Brindley crews recently constructed a new break room and administrative offices for Clayton Cavalier Homes, a modular mobile home manufacturing company in Addison, Alabama. The new break room was constructed on the front of the plant and consists of 10,500 square feet of finished café and dining room space and 2,300 square feet of covered patio. Employees can now enjoy a rustic dining and gathering space complete with a large conference room, four administrative offices, new restrooms, a fully-furnished commercial kitchen fitted with stainless steel appliances, and outdoor seating.

The newly renovated President's House on the campus of Martin Methodist College. In 2003, the Brindley Construction team restored the Herbert and Grace Grissom Colonial Hall on the Martin Methodist College grounds, located in Pulaski, Tennessee. Originally the antebellum home of former Governor John C. Brown, the historic building was converted to the College’s administrative offices. Now, Brindley Construction is thrilled to continue our relationship with the College with the recent completion of three new projects on campus. The Abernathy House, President’s House, and Reveille House projects bring new classroom and administrative office space, as well as updated faculty living to the vibrant campus.

We all need mentors and others to look up to. Fortunately, for Brindley Construction, we have an entire network of mentors. Last month, some of our team members attended the Construction Leadership Network (CLN) conference in Tampa, Florida to practice win-win sharing. The CLN membership is comprised of a diverse group of entrepreneurs, commercial contractors, and construction industry providers from throughout the U.S. and Canada.

The Brindley Annual Christmas celebration is a wonderful time for fun, food and fellowship where all the employees from Brindley Construction and Brindley & Associates come together.

These employees exemplify the company mission and are held in the highest esteem by their co-workers.
