Who We Are

Built on relationships.
Driven by ownership.

WH Bass is a commercial general contractor partnering with customers who are culturally aligned and growth-oriented. We built the second free-standing Chick-fil-A in the mid eighties — and have never stopped raising the bar since.

Now 100% employee-owned, our team is comprised of individuals who thrive on responsibility, are driven by success, and see every challenge as another opportunity to exceed expectations.

The Bass Difference

Value, defined on every build.

Our value is simple to state: capturing and sharing the learning curve of building. On every project, that breaks down five ways.

— 01

Quality

A standard set in the early eighties and proven across 3,300+ projects.

— 02

Schedule

On time — the discipline our clients count on to get their cash registers open.

— 03

Budget

Validated early through Pre-Construction Review, before bid.

— 04

Communication

Clear & consistent from groundbreaking to turnover.

— 05

Confidence

The reason 95% of our work comes from repeat clients.

What We Build

One standard.
37 States.

Trusted by the brands that define their categories — nationwide.

For over 40 years, we’ve built where America lives: restaurants, C-stores, neighborhood grocers, retail stores, and community banks. The same standard for quality, schedule, and budget travels with us into every sector — backed by the same employee-owners who answer the phone, sign the punch list, and stand behind the build long after the keys turn over.
