New Year, same attention to detail. Chairman Will McKnight inspected the New Augusta Arena project, a 320,000 SF, 10,500-seat venue built for world-class entertainment, ice rink capabilities for the new hockey team, and cutting-edge performance technology. This project is expected to generate $1.6B in community spending and create 600 new jobs. McKnight Construction is a proud partner, expert, and advocate to ensure the high quality and value that the community deserves.

At McKnight Construction, we don’t just build projects. We support the people who build them!

This week we celebrated our team members who are soon welcoming baby girls into their families. From diapers and wipes to bedtime stories about our favorite thing, our office came together to show support before the big day arrives.

We are proud to be a different type of company— one that invests not only in buildings, but the lives of our team to whom we owe our exceptional reputation.

Fall Fridays mean Friday Night Lights!
Last week we celebrated the ribbon cutting of the new Savannah Groves Athletic Complex. Athletics play a vital role in building confidence, teamwork, and lifelong skills—and now these student-athletes have a facility they can truly be proud of. We’re honored to help deliver a space that will inspire the next generation to compete, grow, and thrive.

Welcome back students! McKnight Construction is proud to welcome students, teachers, and staff back to school! This summer, our crews worked hard across the Southeast to complete upgrades, additions, and new school facilities - ready just in time for Day One.

From classrooms to cafeterias, we’re honored to build spaces where learning happens.

Here’s to a safe, strong school year ahead!

Safety isn’t just a priority at McKnight — it’s the foundation of everything we do. This week our Superintendents received training from our Consultant IMPACT Safety to ensure our protocols are constantly improving. We partner with IMPACT Safety to conduct regular training, site audits, and third-party reviews to keep our standards sharp and our people protected. Our team is trained, prepared, and committed to doing the job right and going home safe.

A Tradition Unlike Any Other…
While the world turns to the Masters Golf Tournament, McKnight Construction celebrates our own tradition: The Topping Out Celebration. Topping out a project means more than steel and structure—it’s a moment to celebrate the people behind the progress.

McKnight believes that "Hard Work is the Foundation to Achieve Great Heights." Our Beam Signings are a proud tradition, where every signature marks hours of labor, coordination, and commitment.

🎉 We Did It! 🎉

McKnight Construction is proud to announce that we’ve been awarded First Place in the 2025 Build Georgia Awards for both the Junior Achievement Center Project and the Bell Auditorium Project.

The Junior Achievement Center Project challenged our team to create an innovative and engaging space for youth education, emphasizing flexibility and modern design to inspire future leaders. Meanwhile, the Bell Auditorium Project required meticulous coordination to renovate an iconic performance venue while preserving its historic integrity and ensuring minimal disruption to scheduled events. Both projects exemplify our commitment to overcoming challenges with creative solutions and unwavering dedication to client goals.

The Build Georgia Awards, hosted by AGC Georgia, recognize excellence in construction by celebrating projects that overcame challenges through innovative solutions, strong management, and dedication to safety and client service. This program highlights the impact our industry has in improving communities across Georgia.

Thank you to everyone who contributed to these incredible projects—this recognition is YOURS!
