Spence Brothers is a prestigious construction firm with a rich history dating back to 1893 when brothers Matt and Hugh Spence launched their business in Saginaw, Michigan, in response to the Great Fire that ravaged the city. Initially known as "Hugh Spence & Brother," the company evolved into Spence Brothers, establishing a solid reputation in general contracting, particularly known for building landmark structures including churches, municipal buildings, and educational institutions throughout Michigan.
Over the years, Spence Brothers has continued to grow and adapt, successfully navigating through economic challenges such as the Great Depression by undertaking various public works projects like post offices across the United States. The firm has notably contributed to significant infrastructure developments in the post-war era, including the Veterans Administration Hospital and various projects at the University of Michigan, solidifying their status as a leader in the construction industry.
In the subsequent decades, Spence Brothers recognized the need for sustainable practices, achieving a LEED certification with the completion of Pioneer Hall at Saginaw Valley State University in 2007. The company emphasizes quality work, safety, and cost-efficiency, backed by over 130 years of experience. They have established a hands-on construction approach to manage complex projects successfully, tailoring their team’s expertise to fit each client’s needs.
As of today, Spence Brothers operates from multiple locations in Michigan and is involved in a diverse array of projects, ranging from educational facilities to wastewater treatment plants, all while maintaining a legacy of trust and excellence in the construction industry. Their commitment extends beyond just building structures; they strive to create lasting relationships and contribute positively to the communities they serve.
