Sheridan Construction of Macon, GA, announces the acquisition of Benchmark Contracting of LaGrange to offer growth to its clients and employees in the West Georgia market. The business will operate under the Sheridan Construction brand effective January 1, 2021.

 

Benchmark Contracting, founded in 2007, provides commercial, industrial, and high-end residential construction services in West Georgia. Benchmark’s mission of creating long-lasting relationships by building superior construction that exceeds customers’ expectations is consistent with Sheridan Construction’s core values of safety, teamwork, and integrity.

 

“We have been working together closely for more than three years and learned immediately that our company cultures were remarkably similar,” explained Christy Kovac, President and Chief Executive Officer for Sheridan Construction. “This acquisition is an investment in a great company and great employees, and directly aligns with our strategic vision. We bring additional operational resources and bonding capacity for growth and stability. It is a win-win.”

 

“I think it is a wise move on the part of Sheridan Construction to expand our services to the growing West Georgia community,” said Dr. E. Steve Smith, a Sheridan Construction Board Member and well-respected, retired superintendent of schools.

 

According to Lyle Daniel, Founder and President of Benchmark, “Sheridan treated us like family when we first met and partnered on our first project opportunity years ago. The acquisition process has been natural the entire way. It’s exciting to know what our team can now bring to West Georgia.”

Now a 100 percent employee-owned company through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan, Sheridan Construction is quickly approaching its 75^th Anniversary.
