Meet our December Spotlight Members
Founded in 1986 as PIKs Contracting, our December General Contractor Spotlight is Southern Constructors, Inc. Originally headquartered in two repurposed rail cars outside Knoxville, a box car and a caboose, they’ve since gone through a name change and multiple expansions while remaining locally owned. The SCI team has served East Tennessee as a full-service general contractor for over 39 years and are proud to have completed numerous projects for local and state municipalities and businesses. Richard Huskey has served as SCI President since 1995 and continues to head the team with respect, integrity, and values-based leadership. As one of the most diversified general contractors in East Tennessee, they know their business and do it right. That’s the philosophy on which their strong reputation was built. Their approach to client centricity is evidenced by countless endorsements from architects, engineers, and owners. With more than three decades of serving the East Tennessee region, the Southern Constructors, Inc. team has the skillset and enthusiasm needed to build your project from the ground up. Because the projects they pursue are heavily structural, they intentionally employ project managers with degrees in civil engineering. SCI’s team has a wide variety of experience, which allows them to resolve issues with an analytical approach and take on projects that others may deem too complex. See how SCI can help on your next project!
Our November Specialty Contractor in the spotlight is The Wakefield Corporation: Four Decades of Integrity, Service, and Excellence. Founded in 1986 by Jim Wakefield, The Wakefield Corporation has spent the past 40 years building a legacy grounded in the core values of integrity, service, excellence, and quality. What began as a small drywall and metal stud framing company has grown into one of East Tennessee’s premier subcontractors, with expanded expertise in acoustical ceilings and exterior insulated finishing systems (EIFS). In 2018, The Wakefield Corporation proudly became a woman-owned business when Erin Wakefield assumed the role of CEO, continuing her father’s vision while ushering in a new era of growth, innovation, and leadership. Today, the company celebrates being a third-generation family business, with Erin’s oldest son now contributing as an estimator and project manager—a testament to the enduring strength of family values and commitment to excellence. With decades of combined experience in project management, estimating, and construction supervision, Wakefield’s team is known for precision craftsmanship, safety, and client-focused service. Their portfolio spans healthcare, education, and industrial facilities, as well as hospitality, multifamily, and restaurant projects across East Tennessee. Now in its 40th year, The Wakefield Corporation continues to lead the way in safety, technology, and innovative materials, staying true to its roots while building for the future. It’s a story of resilience, family, and dedication—a legacy built to last. Let Wakefield help on your next project!
