A commercial general contractor who partners with customers that are culturally aligned & growth-oriented throughout the United States.
Over forty years with one consistent North Star.
Since its founding 1984, WH Bass was built on a simple but powerful premise: construction is a people business. From day one, we set out to redefine the typical general contractor experience.
Today, that foundational commitment to doing right by our clients, partners, and team members remains our ultimate differentiator.
What began as a localized commercial contractor in Georgia has grown into a premier national firm. By pairing a strong financial foundation with a relentless focus on finding the simplest, most efficient solutions, we have become the trusted, preferred general contractor for the household brands you know and love — across retail, QSR, banking, grocery and convenience store industries.
Our growth is anchored by consistent, steady leadership. Over four decades later, the core cultural values instilled by Carl Herndon still guide every decision we make.
At WH Bass, we care about who our team members are just as much as what they do. Early on, we recognized that the longevity and dedication of our people were the true keys to our success.
To honor that commitment, our four owners in 2019 made the natural decision to transition the company into a 100% Employee-Owned (ESOP) business — rewarding both our long-term team members and the generation of builders to come.
We work hard to cultivate a supportive environment where our team can thrive. We walk out our cultural values every day, backed by unique perks designed to celebrate long-term dedication.
Thanks to the direct feedback of our team, WH Bass is consistently recognized as a Top Workplace. While we are incredibly proud of the accolades, we know they are simply a reflection of the hard work, integrity, and daily dedication of our employee-owners.
We really strive to hold ourselves & our teammates accountable to three cultural values as we interact with every person connected to the projects we build.
Others before self.
We put the person’s needs across from us before our own — in how we treat customers, subcontractors, suppliers, and each other, in the small daily decisions as much as the big ones.
Who did you make better today.
Our good team members always achieve their goals. Our great team members always bring someone with them — and they do not care who gets the credit for achieving the goal.
Freedom balanced with responsibility.
We define this as the balance of freedom and responsibility. When there is a question on where one ends and the other begins, great Bass teammates will always default to being too responsible versus desiring too much freedom.
As a 100% employee-owned organization, our team members take pride in making a difference for our customers, subcontractors and partners. It starts with a shift in perspective — and it’s what powers our three cultural values every day.
If you’re that Rare Responsible Person — we’d love for you to join the family.
Culturally aligned. Growth-oriented. We are ready for your next project.
