Bell Construction, a Brentwood, Tenn.-based general contractor, has named four new members to the company’s property team, according to a press release sent to Construction Dive.
The four new owners of the company are:
- Tyler Baldridge: A project executive in Bell’s buildings division. Baldridge leads the firm’s special projects group, created to meet the ongoing demand for high-touch, fast-paced projects, often in the sub-$15 million range. Baldridge sets the group’s strategy and oversees business development, estimates and operations, according to the statement.
- TJ Cooper: A project manager in Bell’s Civil/Highway Division. Cooper supports infrastructure work that requires disciplined planning, coordination and field execution.
- Evan Rankin: Project Manager in Bell’s Buildings Division. Rankin oversees work in the hospitality, K-12 education, religious and office markets.
- Matt Touloeisani: A project manager in Bell’s Civil/Highway Division. Touloeisani supports infrastructure and civil works projects that require schedule accountability, cross-trade coordination and consistent field leadership.
“By elevating proven leaders like Tyler, TJ, Evan and Matt to ownership, we are strengthening our bench from within and expanding the support of our teams as this company grows,” Eric Pyle, president of Bell Construction, said in the press release.
The move expands Bell’s ownership group to 14 members in total. As part of its structure, the company occasionally offers memberships to people it considers proven leaders to keep them engaged and invested in Bell’s future, according to a company spokesman.
The spokesperson noted that Bell has no plans to expand beyond its current property footprint.
Ray Bell, the founder of Bell Construction, started it working on projects in 1970according to the company’s website. Since then, the company has completed more than 1,000 projects, including such Nashville jobs as the Music City Center, the AT&T Building, the Grand Hyatt Nashville and the John Seigenthaler Pedestrian Bridge, according to the press release.
The dawn of a new year often brings restructuring at companies, and other contractors have also made recent executive changes. On January 28, Rosendin Holdings, the parent company of Rosendin Electric, announced that it had transition to a co-chair model with Keith Douglas as CEO. That same day, Portland, Ore.-based Fortis Construction named construction veteran Andrea Weisheimer as President.
