Fort Dobbs Visitors Center

Statesville, NC

G.L. Wilson Building Company served as general contractor for the turnkey construction of the Fort Dobbs Visitors Center in Statesville, North Carolina. This comprehensive project included self-performed site work with approximately 5,000 cubic yards of import soil placement and hauling, clearing of approximately 1 acre, and excavation of approximately 5,000 cubic yards for roadway, driveway, and building pad grading. The scope encompassed storm drainage infrastructure with 12-18" concrete pipe installation, erosion control measures including silt fence installation, interior finishes such as door installation and toilet accessories and partitions, complete electrical package installation, and selective building demolition. The completed facility now serves as the welcoming gateway for visitors to the historic Fort Dobbs State Historic Site.

"I must say that I cannot be more pleased with our G.L. Wilson Project Manager, Trey Page. He was a superb communicator that made a good plan and stuck to it. The Board's decision to go with G.L. Wilson was a great decision."
