About Us

Relationships Come First!

Since 2003 it has been Asa Carlton’s mission to ethically create and maintain long term professional relationships with our clients. This is at the heart of every interaction. We will always provide quality commercial construction services at a fair profit and in a safe environment for our employees and the public. More than that, we believe in partnerships that place emphasis on communication, functional creativity, transparency, collaboration, and community.

We are an award-winning commercial construction firm, and we are honored to be highly respected in our industry. Our biggest reward is in the repeat business and referrals from our long-standing clients and associates.

We perform a plethora of commercial construction needs, most often interior in nature. While our capabilities extend beyond this scope and include full-scale turnkey construction, we are arguably best known for big-box retail, medical, office, food, beverage, and hospitality interior build-outs.

In almost two decades, our project list is long and varied. Our most recognizable clients include Home Depot, Chick-fil-a, JCPenny’s, Mattress Firm, QuikTrip, Petco, Kroger, Gap, Burger King, and more. Please see our Projects page for recent build-outs.

We’d love to get to know you!

Mark Collins

Director of Accounts

Mark has worked nationwide with dozens of chains in the restaurant, retail, automotive, and daycare industries and locally with industrial and hospital accounts.

Mark has a Bachelor of Science in Construction from Georgia Tech and an MBA with Real Estate Concentration from Georgia State.

“A project or account has a life of its own that can be determined by the contractor’s ability to have a meeting of the minds with the client early in. By taking the time to empathize with the client, we can set a tempo of a fun and productive nature which continues from design to construction.”
-Mark Collins
