About Us
Brownstone was founded in 2005 by Dale Collier as an Agency Construction Management Firm dedicated to undertaking large building programs for clients. From its inception, Brownstone has taken pride in delivering projects of unparalleled quality within established budgets. As a fledgling company, the founders recognized that providing excellent service would result in repeat clients and long-term stability. The firm’s initial contract with the Charleston County School District, a valued client to this day, set the stage for this commitment. This dedication to exceptional service has propelled Brownstone from partnering with other firms to competing with them, securing independent contracts without relying on governmental set-aside projects.
In line with its vision for growth, the firm aimed to offer a diverse range of services rather than putting "all the eggs in one basket." Over the years, Brownstone has expanded to provide Architecture and Construction Management at-Risk Contracting Services. The firm has completed numerous design projects with talented professionals in these fields, implemented major transportation infrastructure programs, and embarked on signature construction projects throughout the Southeast. This commitment to excellence has resulted in the company's growth from a small conference room table to five offices in three states.
“Any institution that hires them will not be disappointed and can trust that they will receive the services they imagined!”
- Reggie McNeil | Pennsylvania Secretary of General Service
Construction Management
Brownstone has been trusted for nearly 20 years to oversee and lead projects for owners throughout the Southeast. We pay close attention to project details - details that can make or break a project - so that those owners can focus on the important work they need to do.
With a combined working history of over 40 years, Brownstone’s registered architects are heavily versed in all facets of design and planning. From local civic buildings to school district career and technology centers, our architectural division can assist with bringing your vision to life.

"It takes a team of partners to make a large, complex school district achieve excellence. The year's school opening was the best we have ever had. You stood out as one of the "behind the scenes heroes" who worked diligently to ensure that our school were ready for our students"- Dr. Nancy McGinley, Former Superintendent of Charleston County School District
"What was once a dreaded process has become a wonderful learning experience under Mr. Collier’s guidance. It is without reservation that I recommend Brownstone Construction Group, under the direction of Mr. Dale Collier, for any needs that your district should have. I am quite certain that no other management group could have been a better fit for our projects and our community." - Phyllis Schwarting, Former Superintendent of Bamberg School District One
