Our Story - 60 Years and Growing
Troy L. Bowen, Sr. and Harold L. Watson established Bowen & Watson, Inc. in 1956. Both men had worked in the construction industry all their lives before joining to form what has become one of the oldest and largest general contractors in Northeast Georgia.
Working as partners with their father since 1982, Kevin and Keith Watson now own and operate the firm. In 2013, Drew Watson became a partner in the business his grandfather co-founded over 55 years earlier, bringing in a third generation of family leadership.
Building Extraordinary Spaces - It's What We Do
Bowen & Watson, Inc. is an award-winning, full-service and financially-sound commercial builder in North Georgia and the Southeast with a reputation for construction excellence and outstanding customer care. Construction management, pre-construction and general contracting services are delivered to a diverse and loyal clientele who depend on us to have their best interest in mind throughout the construction process.
Our Philosophy - People. Process. Results.
Our business philosophy revolves around the belief that construction is a people business. To us, this means the quality of relationships and integrity in our actions is just as important as the quality and structural integrity of the buildings we construct.
