Trident Construction Group

Trident Construction Group was founded in 2012 and is headquartered in Atlanta. The company handles work ranging from minor rehabilitation to ground-up construction across medical facilities, commercial office buildings and build-outs, restaurants and retail, multi-family, government, and adaptive reuse projects.

In 2024, Trident became 100% employee-owned through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan. The company operates on a "Clients First" philosophy and describes itself as one of Atlanta's largest interior contractors.

Trident offers pre-construction services to organize scope and review scheduling and budget, as well as construction management and value engineering.

Georgia requires general contractors to hold a state license issued by the State Licensing Board for Residential and Commercial General Contractors. There are separate license types for Residential and Commercial General Contractors. You can verify any contractor's license through the Georgia Secretary of State's online GOALS portal by name or license number.

Building permits in Atlanta are issued by the City of Atlanta Office of Buildings and must comply with the 2024 International Building Code (IBC), 2024 International Residential Code (IRC), and other state codes adopted effective January 1, 2026. Before hiring a contractor, confirm they are familiar with current code requirements and permit procedures.

When interviewing a general contractor, ask whether they hold the appropriate license type for your project scope, whether they will handle permitting, and how they manage scheduling and budget in the pre-construction phase. Request to verify their license status online and ask about their experience with projects similar to yours.
