Where We Build: Winston-Salem Districts We Serve
Winston-Salem has reinvented its tobacco-era economy around healthcare, biotech, and research, anchored by Wake Forest. We work across:

- The Wake Forest Baptist and healthcare campuses – hospital and medical-office development;
- The manufacturing and industrial districts;
- The Hanes Mall and Stratford retail corridors;
- The university and institutional districts.

Permitting and Code in Winston-Salem
Commercial construction in Winston-Salem is governed by the North Carolina State Building Code, enforced through the City of Winston-Salem and Forsyth County. Its healthcare and research economy, built in part on converted tobacco buildings, shapes commercial work here.
- North Carolina State Building Code — statewide code with local plan review, permitting, and inspections;
- Healthcare, lab, and adaptive reuse — specialized medical and lab systems, plus structural work to convert historic industrial buildings;
- Stormwater and site work — North Carolina and local stormwater and erosion-control requirements;
- Historic-district considerations in the Innovation Quarter and downtown
We design and build to these from day one so a Winston-Salem project clears review and performs for the long term.
