✨ Time to Shine. Shear is Nine. ✨

Nine years ago, on August 1st, we set out to build more than structures - we set out to build lasting relationships and positively impact our community.

Since then, we’ve had the privilege of building an incredible team and collaborating with incredible clients, architects, contractors, developers, and partners on projects that strengthen communities across the Southeast.

To everyone who’s trusted and supported us along the way... thank you. You’re the foundation of everything we’ve built!

We are kicking off our anniversary celebrations with volunteering and with this year’s Perkins&Will Backpack Bash. We are proud to be a platinum supporter, sponsoring a year’s supply of composition notebooks to students grades K-5 at Mableton Elementary School in Cobb County. We will be celebrating with more fun throughout the month of August, so !

Here’s to nine years of carrying the load together, and to many more ahead.

The look may be new, but the foundation hasn’t changed: thoughtful engineering, strong relationships, and structures built to last.
