At Sanford Contractors, we believe that the true measure of a project’s impact is not its size, but the strength of the relationships built along the way.

Our Building Division recently completed two smaller-scale projects that perfectly illustrate our relationship-first approach. Through clear communication, thoughtful planning, and strong partnerships, these projects delivered results and made an impact far beyond their size.

Mountaire HR Office Renovation

For our longtime partners at Mountaire, we recently completed a 2,100 sq ft renovation of their HR office in Siler City, featuring three private offices and an open-concept workspace. While the footprint was modest, the project presented several challenges: unexpected existing utilities, working in an occupied space, and a tight coordination window.

Thanks to the leadership of Project Manager Drake Howard and Superintendent Will Helms, every challenge was met with collaborative problem-solving. Careful scheduling, daily communication, and close attention to noise control and cleanliness ensured minimal disruption to Mountaire’s day-to-day operations.

“Clear communication and the trust we’ve built with Mountaire allowed us to very quickly resolve each challenge the team faced,” shared Drake.

OT Sloan Park Improvements

At the same time, we teamed up with another longtime partner, Lee County Government, on a unique project at OT Sloan Park. Initially planned as a larger building project, the scope was reduced due to funding constraints, refocusing entirely on the County’s first fully accessible playground and related site improvements.

With a strong relationship already in place, the team navigated the shifting scope smoothly and kept the project on track.

Led by Duncan Lundy, who served as both Superintendent and Project Manager, the team installed playground structures, sidewalks, turf, signage, retaining walls, and other civil features. Despite winter weather challenges, the project was completed ahead of schedule, with a ribbon-cutting celebration held before the deadline.

Building with Trust

At Sanford Contractors, we’re committed to supporting our partners and delivering the highest quality project possible—whether it’s a large-scale development or a small community improvement. We believe that when you build with people in mind, even the smallest efforts can create a lasting impact.

As our founder, Norman T. Oldham, once said:

“If you do good work, you’ll always have something to do.”
