Every community has unique needs, priorities, and challenges. Construction partners who understand those differences are better equipped to deliver projects that serve owners today while supporting the growth of the surrounding regions in years to come.
For more than 65 years, Ausley Construction has partnered with clients to build educational facilities, healthcare environments, manufacturing operations, and public infrastructure across Florida, the Southeast, and the Mid-Atlantic. What began as a local construction company in Ocala has grown into a regional construction management firm built on long-term relationships and consistent project delivery.
Today, we provide construction management, preconstruction, and project management services from Florida to Pennsylvania.
Every project is shaped by its location’s limitations and requirements. Building in Florida requires careful planning around hurricane season, evolving building codes, and rapid population growth. Projects in the Mid-Atlantic bring snow, extreme cold, and different regulatory requirements. Understanding these regional factors allows our project teams to anticipate challenges ahead of time before they have the chance to affect schedule, budget, or quality.
Decades of regional experience have also helped us build strong relationships with architects, engineers, subcontractors, and suppliers. This helps projects move efficiently and supports dependable communication throughout the construction process.
We are incredibly grateful that our portfolio of projects includes buildings that become part of the communities we serve. Schools create environments where students learn, and educators help build the next generation. Healthcare facilities improve access to care for growing populations. Manufacturing and distribution facilities create jobs while supporting regional economies. Municipal buildings provide essential public services that residents depend on every day.
Regardless of project type, our goal remains the same – to deliver facilities that have forever in mind and create lasting value for both the owners and the communities they serve.
Long before construction begins onsite, our team works closely with owners during preconstruction to establish budgets, coordinate schedules, and identify opportunities to reduce risk. This approach and thorough process allow us to maintain our track record of on-time and under budget across multiple states and ensure we deliver projects with the responsiveness and accountability our clients expect from a trusted partner.
Much of our growth has come through repeat clients and long-term partnerships, creating opportunities to expand beyond our Florida roots into communities in the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic. This steady growth has come hand in hand with remaining focused on the values that have guided our company since 1958: integrity, excellence, innovation, generosity, and safety.

As new opportunities continue to emerge across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions, we remain committed to providing thoughtful planning, experienced leadership, and dependable project delivery that helps our clients build with confidence. As these regions grow in population and industries continue to evolve, the need for an experienced construction partner remains as important as ever. Whether delivering a new school, healthcare campus, municipal building, or a manufacturing facility, Ausley Construction is proud to help build places where people learn, work, heal, and thrive.
June marks National Safety Month, a time to recognize the importance of protecting workers, maintaining safe jobsites, and reinforcing the systems that support responsible construction practices. Following Construction Safety Week in May, it is also an opportunity to reflect on the role safety plays throughout every phase of a project.
At Ausley Construction, safety is integrated into the planning process, field operations, and project execution strategies that guide our work. Strong safety performance supports project quality, schedule reliability, and team accountability while helping ensure workers return home safely every day.
Strong safety performance starts during preconstruction.
Before work begins onsite, our teams evaluate site logistics, sequencing, trade coordination, and potential risks to identify hazards early and reduce exposure throughout the project lifecycle.
This proactive planning supports safer workflows, minimizes disruptions, and creates a more organized jobsite from the outset.
Whether working on occupied school campuses, active healthcare environments, or complex industrial facilities, thoughtful planning plays a critical role in maintaining safe conditions for workers, occupants, and the surrounding community.
Safe jobsites require consistency and accountability across every level of a project.
All personnel complete project-specific safety onboarding and orientation, supported by OSHA 10- and 30-hour training requirements. Daily coordination and ongoing education reinforce key safety topics, including:
Beyond onboarding, team members maintain industry-recognized certifications, including OSHA training, First Aid/CPR/AED, and equipment-specific certifications that support safe operations in the field.
Our safety program is strengthened through partnerships with independent safety professionals who provide objective oversight and support. Ausley works with HRH Safety & Health Systems, a third-party safety consultant that conducts regular jobsite inspections, audits safety performance, and helps reinforce compliance with established safety standards.
This additional layer of oversight helps ensure safety expectations remain consistent across every project and provides clients with confidence that jobsites are being evaluated through an independent perspective.
Technology continues to strengthen how construction teams manage safety in the field.
Ausley utilizes SafetyNet software and mobile safety applications to document observations, track corrective actions, and capture safety information in real time. This digital approach provides greater visibility into jobsite conditions and supports faster resolution of potential concerns.
Real-time reporting and mobile access help project teams maintain awareness of site conditions while improving communication between field personnel and project leadership.
Many of the environments we build in remain operational during construction.
Healthcare facilities require infection control coordination and carefully managed access routes around patients and medical staff. Educational campuses require detailed site separation, traffic management, and ongoing coordination to protect students, faculty, and visitors.
Our experience in healthcare construction has reinforced the importance of site-specific safety planning. From Infection Control Risk Assessments (ICRAs) to utility shutdown coordination and environmental controls, healthcare projects require specialized protocols that protect both construction personnel and facility operations.
These environments require heightened awareness and disciplined execution throughout every phase of construction.
Safety depends on leadership, preparation, and accountability.
At Ausley Construction, safety expectations are reinforced through daily operations, project planning, and field coordination. Every team member plays a role in maintaining safe jobsite conditions and supporting responsible construction practices.
By combining proactive planning, independent oversight, technology, and continuous education, we strive to create jobsites where safety remains a shared responsibility.
Construction Safety Week and National Safety Month serve as reminders of the importance of maintaining strong safety standards across the industry.
As projects continue to grow in complexity, ongoing training, third-party safety evaluations, and proactive planning remain essential to supporting safe and organized jobsites.
At Ausley Construction, that commitment guides how we approach every project, every partnership, and every phase of construction.
