Morrison Engineers

Morrison Engineers was founded in January of 1988 by Tom Morrison as and engineering firm specializing in Structural Engineering. Over the subsequent years, Tom’s attention to detail and deliberate focus on how a design comes to life in the field, led the Company to begin providing Construction Engineering and consulting services. This same mindset eventually bred the Construction Division of Morrison Engineers, and in 2007 the Company became a General Contractor licensed in North Carolina, South Carolina and Virginia providing specialty design build construction services focusing on excavation support systems, deep foundations and foundation underpinning.

Today, the firm benefits from a healthy blend of structural and construction engineering projects, in addition to a unique array of construction projects. The firm currently includes 3 Professional Engineers, licensed in over twenty states, and is an Unlimited-Unclassified General Contractor in North Carolina as well as holding Licenses in South Carolina and Virginia.

At Morrison Engineers it is always our ultimate goal and desire to establish personal and lasting relationships with our clients by providing creative and economical designs while emphasizing service and quality.
