Over Forty Years of Keeping Our Word
We are a family-owned commercial contractor in Florida built on a simple premise: technical excellence and genuine human partnership are not competing priorities.
Our Story
A Legacy Worth Building
The foundation of McLauchlin & Company was laid in 1979 when Jerry McLauchlin joined a partnership called FMC Construction. When that partnership reached a crossroads, Jerry made a defining choice. He chose to stay lean, stay focused, and stay true to his values. In 1986, McLauchlin & Company formally took shape.
From the beginning, the company was built around complex, regulated, high-stakes construction. Jerry’s decision to focus on medical construction was a reflection of who he is. He believed in open communication, keeping his word, and understanding that the relationship with the owner matters more than the transaction. He knew that doing things well and fairly builds a lasting reputation.
That belief is the foundation of everything McLauchlin & Company is today. As a multigenerational construction company, our leadership team is carrying that legacy forward. We are evolving to thrive in a changing market while deepening our commitment to relationship-building, technical excellence, and genuine partnership. The healthcare facilities, senior living communities, and commercial spaces we build serve real people for decades. The relationships we build outlast any individual project.
Our Mission & Values
The McLauchlin Standard
Our core values are not aspirational statements. They are the standards against which every decision we make is measured. The McLauchlin Standard is the expression of these values in practice. It means answering the phone. It means showing up when we say we will. It means communicating proactively, even when the news is difficult. It means treating our Trade Partners with the same respect we show owners, because without them, there is no company.
Integrity
We keep our word. We tell the truth, especially when it is difficult. We do what we say we will do, and we own it when we fall short.
Accountability
We take ownership of outcomes. We do not deflect, delay, or minimize. When something goes wrong, we address it directly and solve it.
Partnership
We are in the business of building relationships, not closing transactions. We invest in the people we work with. Before, during, and after every project.
Excellence
We hold ourselves to a high standard in everything we do, from the quality of our construction to the clarity of our communication to the way we treat the people around us.
Community
We believe in giving back to the communities we help build. We support the organizations and initiatives of our clients and partners, and we invest in the people and places that make our region a place worth building.
Our Leadership Team
Experienced Leadership Direct Access
When you work with McLauchlin & Company, you are not handed off to a junior team. You have direct access to experienced leadership throughout the lifecycle of your project. Our team brings decades of healthcare construction experience in Florida and across the Southeastern U.S., ensuring your project is guided by experts who anticipate challenges and deliver solutions.
Safety is Our First Priority
In complex environments like occupied hospitals and active senior living facilities, safety is non-negotiable. Our comprehensive safety program protects our team, our trade partners, and the public. We maintain strict adherence to all regulatory standards, including AHCA compliance and ICRA protocols, ensuring that every job site operates with the highest level of care and precision.
Investing in the Places We Build
Our work is about more than structures. The facilities we build serve real people in real communities across Central and North Florida and the broader region. We are committed to giving back through active involvement, sponsorship, and service. We support the organizations that matter to our clients and partners, because investing in our community is part of what it means to be a company with a legacy.
