About Us

Who We Are

Since 1893, Spence Brothers has been committed to delivering construction projects that stand the test of time. Whether large or small, every project we take on is guided by our deep-rooted legacy of trust, safety, and quality. We combine decades of expertise with a hands-on approach, ensuring the best people are in place to match your specific needs. From managing costs to tackling the most complex projects, we make it our priority to deliver results that exceed expectations.

What We Do

At Spence Brothers, we deliver construction solutions tailored to your project’s needs — from early planning through final completion. Whether serving as your Construction Manager, General Contractor, or Design-Builder, we approach every project with a hands-on mindset and a focus on collaboration, safety, and results.

We work across a wide range of markets, including healthcare, higher education, municipal, commercial, and more — all with one goal: to build places that make a lasting impact.

A Legacy More Than a Century in the Making

What began as a small family business in 1893 has grown into one of Michigan’s most trusted builders. See how our history continues to shape who we are today.

Our Mission

To build trust and important facilities with great people and organizations, driven to help each other and our communities thrive.

Our mission is clear — and so is the way we bring it to life.

At Spence Brothers, how we build is just as important as what we build. We hold ourselves to the same values every day — on every jobsite, in every office, and with every partner. These values guide how we treat each other, how we make decisions, and how we show up for our clients and communities.

We are committed to ensuring a safe, hazard-free workplace for everyone — every day, on every site, in every role.

We earn trust by doing what’s right — with honesty, fairness, and reliability at the core of everything we do.

We invest in the future by helping one another and our partners grow — developing skills, sharing knowledge, and working smarter together.

We build strong relationships that benefit our clients, employees, and project partners — because success is always a team effort.

Since 1893, our work has left a lasting impression. From iconic buildings to everyday spaces, we continue shaping communities by creating better places to live, work, heal, and play.

We deliver superior results through professionalism, accountability, and a relentless commitment to exceeding expectations.

Community Impact

We believe in giving back — always.

Supporting the communities where we live, work, and build is part of who we are. Our company-wide belief to “always give something back” comes to life through the time, talent, and resources our team contributes year-round.

From hands-on volunteer work to financial support, Spence Brothers and our employees proudly partner with community-based agencies, local nonprofits, and causes that make a meaningful difference.

We were honored to receive the Corporate Community Service Award, recognizing our long-standing commitment to improving quality of life across Michigan.
