The BE&K Building Group has a rich history when it comes to construction excellence for the entertainment — sports and leisure sector. With roots dating back more than 100 years, our firm has successfully completed projects encompassing retail and dining specialty facilities, stadiums, aquatic centers, private resort golf clubhouses, casinos, racinos and related horse racing facilities, aquariums, museums, and theme parks, rides and attractions.
Specialized Expertise
A diverse array of projects has exposed our preconstruction and construction team to the stringent requirements dictated by public assembly assignments in terms of budget, schedule and quality adherence. Our proactive approach to participation in the design process results in "better value for money" solutions earlier in the process, allowing for seamless project execution.
With an extensive portfolio of high-profile, world-class themed entertainment projects at some of the most popular venues in the Southeast, our people know that the guest experience is everything. Our clients value our ability to manage the entire process from preconstruction through project opening — buildings, rides, theming, and light and sound for shows.
Our integrated project services provide clients with a single-source point of contact and responsibility, resulting in more efficiently run projects and speed to market. Our ability to self-perform hardscape and concrete saves clients time and money, and ensures quality. Whether it is a themed attraction, a clubhouse, a stadium or a museum, we have the knowledge and experience to take a project from concept to completion.
As one of the nation's preeminent design-build firms, we have the proper mindset to work collaboratively with our entertainment — sports and leisure clients, designers and consultants to ensure that value is built into the drawings and realistic budgets are established, and subsequently, never exceeded.
