About
Saliba Construction Co., Inc. opened its doors in 1947 and has run continuously as a family-owned general construction firm out of N Park Avenue in Dothan. Few construction companies in southeast Alabama can match its 79-year track record on commercial, industrial, and institutional projects.
The firm provides general contracting and construction management services across Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina. Pre-construction services and design-build delivery are part of the package, which lets owners bring Saliba in early to refine budgets, scope, and schedules before drawings are finalized.
The company's portfolio reaches from small institutional renovations to ground-up industrial facilities, and the long tenure means many regional architects and engineers have long-running working relationships with the team.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Saliba Construction work outside of Alabama?
Yes, Saliba Construction works across Alabama, Georgia, Florida, and South Carolina from its Dothan headquarters on N Park Avenue. The four-state footprint covers commercial, industrial, and institutional projects under both general contracting and construction management delivery. The firm has held this regional reach for decades, dating back to its 1947 founding, which is part of why architects and owners with multi-state programs use Saliba for work outside its home county.
What is the difference between general contracting and construction management at Saliba?
Saliba Construction offers both delivery methods so owners can pick the one that fits the project. Under general contracting, Saliba bids a complete scope and is responsible for the price. Under construction management, the company is hired earlier and works with the owner and design team during pre-construction to shape budget and schedule before bids go out. The choice depends on how much certainty an owner needs at the front end versus flexibility during design.
Do you handle pre-construction services?
Yes, Saliba Construction provides pre-construction services as a stand-alone offering and as part of construction management contracts. The team helps owners refine scope, evaluate sites, set realistic budgets, and build phased schedules before drawings are complete. For institutional and industrial clients in the Wiregrass, that early input often surfaces utility, soil, and code issues that would otherwise become change orders once construction starts.
How long has Saliba Construction been in business?
Saliba Construction was founded in 1947 and has operated continuously for nearly 80 years as a family-owned general construction firm. That span makes it one of the longest-running construction companies in the Dothan area. The N Park Avenue office has anchored work on a substantial share of the city's skyline through three generations of the family. The longevity also explains the depth of long-term relationships with regional design firms and trade partners.
Does Saliba do design-build work?
Yes, design-build is one of Saliba Construction's core delivery methods. In a design-build engagement, Saliba teams with architects and engineers to take an owner's project from concept through completion under a single contract. The approach can compress schedules and reduce the friction of separate design and construction agreements, and it is well suited to industrial and institutional projects where coordination between trades and design disciplines is constant.
What types of projects does Saliba Construction take on?
Saliba Construction focuses on commercial, industrial, and institutional construction rather than single-family residential homes. The firm has delivered projects ranging from public buildings and healthcare facilities to manufacturing plants across its four-state region. With pre-construction, general contracting, construction management, and design-build all under one roof, the company can match the delivery model to the size and complexity of the work.
