Batson-Cook Company is a Georgia-based construction firm with a rich history dating back to its founding in 1915 by W.C. Batson and Edmund F. Cook in West Point, Georgia. Initially focusing on textile and mill village construction, the company has expanded and evolved over the decades to become one of the leading construction organizations in the southeastern United States. By the late 1950s, it had opened regional offices in Jacksonville and Atlanta, solidifying its presence in key markets. Currently under the leadership of R. Randy Hall, who has been steering the company since 2012, Batson-Cook emphasizes a culture of accountability, integrity, and strong partnerships with clients and trade partners alike.
