About General contracting

For over 120 years, Spence Brothers has been a trusted general contractor for numerous project owners throughout Michigan and beyond. Our firm’s reputation for building important projects, with an uncompromising commitment to safety, integrity, quality, and value, is the primary reason for Spence Brothers’ longevity in the construction industry.

While many project owners have moved to utilize construction management, design-build, and other innovative forms of project delivery, the general contract remains a familiar contracting option in the industry. The benefits of general contracting—lower risk to the owner at the lowest price—are best enjoyed when trusted, quality contractors are invited to bid.
