Commercial construction plays a critical role in shaping South Carolina’s economy and the communities it serves. From advanced manufacturing and industrial facilities to office, medical, and distribution centers, Frampton Construction delivers projects that support growth, innovation, and long-term resilience.
Founded in 1993 as Frampton & Associates, Inc., Frampton Construction is a second-generation, family-owned commercial construction company with offices in Charleston, Charlotte, and Tampa. Serving clients throughout the Southeast, the firm specializes in manufacturing, distribution, commercial, and healthcare markets.
Regardless of project type or size, Frampton operates with a clear philosophy: everything we do must add value.
People First, Always
At the heart of Frampton’s success is its people. The company invests significant time and resources into developing its team, recognizing that strong leadership, collaboration, and technical expertise are essential to delivering exceptional outcomes.
This people-first mindset creates teams that are engaged, accountable, and deeply invested in the success of each project. By empowering its people, Frampton builds a culture that consistently delivers quality work and meaningful client experiences
Integrity and Long-Term Relationships
Frampton places a premium on integrity and trust. The firm values long-term relationships over short-term wins and is intentional about who it works with and hires. This focus on alignment ensures projects begin with a shared understanding of goals, expectations, and responsibilities.
By prioritizing collaboration and transparency, Frampton builds partnerships that extend well beyond a single project.
Thinking Like Owners
Frampton approaches every project with an ownership mindset. The team takes time to understand each client’s business, applying knowledge that spans real estate, finance, engineering, and construction.
This holistic perspective allows Frampton to anticipate challenges, identify opportunities, and guide clients toward smarter decisions. By treating every project as if it were their own investment, the firm helps protect capital, manage risk, and maximize long-term value.
Front-End Planning That De-Risks Projects
The least expensive option on paper can often become the most costly in practice. Through early project development, front-end planning, and preconstruction services, the firm works to uncover hidden challenges before they impact schedule or budget.
By addressing site constraints, entitlement requirements, cost drivers, and logistical complexities early, Frampton helps clients move forward with clarity and confidence.
Community Engagement and Impact
A commitment to community extends well beyond the jobsite. Partnerships with local schools and universities support workforce development, education, and career awareness within the construction industry, while involvement in programs like First Tee reinforces a focuson mentorship, leadership, and opportunity for the next generation. In 2025, team members contributed more than 550 volunteer hours to 16 charitable organizations, reflecting a culture of service that is deeply embedded across the organization.
In It Together
Frampton views itself as more than a builder—it is a strategic partner. Before a single dollar is spent, the firm is at the table helping clients identify and mitigate risk, evaluate options, and plan the best path forward.
This collaborative approach ensures projects are not only built well, but thoughtfully planned and positioned for long-term success.
As a steward of its clients’ success, Frampton Construction continues to add value for clients, employees, and communities—helping shape the future of South Carolina’s built environment.
Innovation moves fast, but we don’t shy away from the complex or never-been-done-before. We deliver smart, efficient outcomes for clients in demanding industries.
