About Sullivan Eastern, Inc.
Our Motto: “Don’t try to be the biggest, try to be the best.“


Founded in 1933, Sullivan Eastern, Inc. is a leading Site Work, Heavy Highway, and Utility construction firm based in the Raleigh–Durham area of North Carolina. We primarily operate as a turn-key contractor, but at times we may perform only specific portions of a project, such as grading or utility installation. Our contracts vary from serving as the Prime Contractor for the owner to functioning as a Subcontractor under a General Contractor.
We are committed to maintaining a balanced workload that includes commercial, residential, industrial, governmental, and municipal projects. Our experience spans a wide range of developments such as shopping centers, office complexes, subdivisions, apartment communities, assisted living facilities, warehouses, distribution centers, schools, colleges, military base projects, utility systems, roadways, and streets.
At Sullivan Eastern, Inc., we handle contracts ranging from $100,000 to multi-million dollar projects. However, we don’t measure the importance of your project in dollars and cents—because we understand that to you, your project is priceless.
What sets us apart is our team of knowledgeable, highly skilled professionals who are also excellent communicators. From our Estimating Department to our Project Managers, Superintendents, and Foremen, we keep you fully informed every step of the way.


Our equipment fleet is modern, innovative, and fully maintained by our in-house service department. We utilize GPS-equipped machinery and rovers, allowing us to monitor grades precisely. This technology helps us stay on schedule and control costs.
We’ve worked with clients from the very early stages of a project, including design consultation, test digs, and budgeting. As the project evolves, we provide updated budgets and value engineering, and we can also prepare cost-loaded schedules for accurate cash flow analysis.
“A company that can make it for 75 years and keep on going; I think it speaks a lot for itself,” “Plus we’ve got a third generation that’s taking over.”
