Cullison-Wright Construction Corporation is a time-honored construction firm based in Ocala, Florida, with a history dating back to 1884. The company was established following the Great Fire of 1883 that severely damaged Ocala, as Jerry Burnett and his brother recognized the opportunity to rebuild the city. As a result, an enduring legacy of quality construction emerged, leading to the founding of Cullison Builders by Burnett’s grandson, Jerry Cullison, in 1962.
In 1973, Cullison Builders formed a strategic alliance with Wright Construction of Elkhart, Indiana, officially becoming Cullison-Wright Construction Corporation. This partnership has fostered growth and innovation within the company, allowing it to specialize in a diverse range of projects including senior living communities, medical facilities, banks, churches, office buildings, and pre-engineered metal buildings.
The company has embraced change and development over its extensive history, and under the leadership of President Troy Thurston and CEO Barry Mansfield since 2019, it has continued to thrive. With a focus on exceptional customer service, fiscal responsibility, and a commitment to delivering projects on time and within budget, Cullison-Wright Construction has secured a solid reputation in both the commercial and industrial construction sectors.
Dedicated to building for generations, the company emphasizes not just the structures it erects, but the lasting impact they create within the community. Their portfolio showcases a mix of institutional, residential, and industrial projects, with some notable clients including Cardinal Glass and Ocala Oncology Center. These commitments to excellence exemplify Cullison-Wright Construction Corporation’s unwavering promise to build strong, lasting foundations for the communities they serve.
