Hard to believe it’s already been almost a year since Powder Springs City Hall was completed. 🎥
This project brought together renovated interiors, expanded offices, public gathering spaces, and a new parking deck, all designed to support the city for years to come.
Still proud every time we look back at this one!

It's Feature Friday! Get to know a little more about our Project Manager, Katie!
🏗️ What attracted you to construction?
Construction was familiar to me growing up because of my dad, who was a residential general contractor in the Atlanta area, but I stayed in the industry because I enjoy the constant learning, fast-paced problem solving, and the challenge of keeping projects moving forward with both the field teams and ownership groups.
🦺 What advice would you want to give someone who wanted to enter the construction field?
Be humble enough to learn from everyone around you, but confident enough to contribute your own ideas and ask questions. Construction is an industry where experience matters, and some of the best lessons come from spending time in the field and building relationships with superintendents and subcontractors. The more time you spend understanding how work is actually built, the stronger you’ll become professionally.
🚧 Tell us an interesting or fun fact about yourself!
Outside of work, most of my time is spent with my three kids. When I get a little downtime, I also enjoy baking.
Another Macallan University in the books, and this one delivered! Our team spent a full day diving into Project Management Excellence, blending technical training with leadership development and real world insight. It’s all part of our commitment to building better projects, stronger teams, and lasting partnerships.
Thank you to @James Albright (City of Acworth, Georgia) for sharing practical strategies on leading productive, professional meetings, insights our teams can put to work immediately.
We also appreciated the candid perspective from our architect panel, @Greg O’Neal (Kuo Diedrich Chi Architects), @Jonathan Fallin (CDH Partners, Inc.), and @Oscar Herrera (CROFT & Associates). Their feedback on collaboration, communication, and what makes a great GC partner made the conversation especially impactful.
And a BIG thank you to Lanier HVAC Services for sponsoring our team's lunch. We truly value their continued partnership on our projects.
At Macallan Construction, we believe continuous improvement, technical excellence, and strong relationships drive long term success.

It's Feature Friday! Get to know a little about the newest addition to our team, Jared!
🏗️ What attracted you to construction?
The thing that attracted me to construction was that my dad and grandfather have both been in construction their entire careers. As well as, I have always liked the atmosphere of watching the building process from dirt into a building.
🦺 What advice would you want to give someone who wanted to enter the construction field?
The construction industry is not always a job that allows you to stay home. If you’re going to join the industry, you need to start out with the ability to relocate or travel, especially for someone in their 20’s like me. It makes the work more fun, and the possibilities of seeing some beautiful places a little easier.
🚧 Tell us an interesting or fun fact about yourself!
A fun fact is that I built my first computer when I was 16, and I can do a Rubik’s Cube in 1 minute and 30 seconds.
A special day in Buford, GA this past Sunday as we broke ground on the FPC Buford project! It was a privilege to stand alongside the members of First Pentecostal Church Buford (@fpcbuford)and our trade partners for a Groundbreaking Ceremony marking the start of a new campus that will serve and strengthen this community for years to come!
Grateful to partner with @cdhpartners (Architect) and East Coast Grading & Utilities (Sitework) as we begin building something truly special for Buford.
This month at Macallan University, we focused on sharpening one of the most essential skills in our industry: negotiation.
We kicked off the day with a panel featuring the owners of The Macallan Group, who shared the story behind Macallan, the roots that shaped who we are today, and how negotiation has played a role in that journey from the very beginning. Thank you to Mike, Dean, and Jay for taking the time to share the groundwork our company was built on.
We then welcomed Patrick Griffin from TableForce for an engaging session on the principles of negotiation, complete with real-world exercises that challenged and strengthened our team’s approach.
A special thank you to Manhattan Construction Group, Thirdline Construction, and Loudermilk Homes for joining our team for the training. Investing in our people means investing in better outcomes for our clients, our partners, and each other.
Architecture Week 2026 is the perfect time to celebrate the visionaries behind the spaces we build! This week, we’re spotlighting some of the incredible architects we’ve partnered with on city halls, libraries, civic spaces, clubs, and communities—firms like CROFT Architecture and Engineering, Kuo Diedrich Chi Architects, and Architectural Collaborative.
Together, we’re transforming places where people work, gather, and connect, and we’re grateful for the creativity and collaboration that make these projects possible.
Macallan Construction knows hospitality, and it shows in every corner of the Omni Atlanta Hotel at Centennial Park’s South Tower. This 2020 renovation transformed public spaces, lobbies, and the motor court into a warm, modern welcome for guests, while reimagined dining areas and the new living room bar create an elevated, yet comfortable place to gather.
From the Centennial Grounds coffee and retail shop to the Top Draught sports bar and its skyline views over Centennial Park, this project highlights how our team turns high-traffic hotel spaces into destinations guests remember.
Partners: C+TC Design Studio

It's Feature Friday! Get to know a little about the newest addition to our team, James!
🏗️ What attracted you to construction?
I learned this when working on the farm I grew up on and working in construction in the summer when I was a teenager. I decided that would be a good way to make living, so I went to engineering school to advance those skills.
🚧 What advice would you want to give someone who wanted to enter the construction field?
Ask questions. The industry is always evolving, and learning as many topics related to it will help improve your knowledge and skills.
🦺 Tell us an interesting or fun fact about yourself!
I enjoy the outdoors very much, such as hunting and fishing. I enjoy doing it with friends and family, and I've been introducing my son to it as well.

Taking our team building to new heights! 🏗️
The Macallan Construction team recently had the incredible opportunity to tour the TKE tower in Marietta. We got an inside look at their cutting-edge elevator technology, state-of-the-art training facilities, and the rigorous safety measures their team employs every day.
Thank you to our amazing hosts, Brandon Derry and Kathryn Risi at TK Elevator for an eye-opening and educational experience. We're always looking to learn from industry leaders who share our commitment to innovation and safety!

Construction leadership is about building strong teams, removing constraints before they become problems, and communicating with clarity across the project.
Last week, our team spent two days at Manhattan Construction Group's Atlanta office learning Elevate Construction’s Builder Tactics with Jason Schroeder Through mindset training and a hands-on simulation, we strengthened our ability to plan, execute, and operate as a high-performing team.
Grateful to our hosts at Manhattan Construction Group, Robert Hogan, Todd Armistead, and Emile “Bo” Anthony, for partnering with us as we continue to invest in our growth as builders committed to continuous improvement!
