Trusted Commercial Construction Across the Triangle
PLD Construction Group is a WBE and locally owned and operated commercial contractor based in Garner, North Carolina, serving the greater Triangle region.
Established in 2022, the company evolved from a family-owned drywall business built on more than 20 years of hands-on subcontractor experience in commercial construction throughout the area.
Founded by Laura Cary and Phil Blackburn, PLD was built to provide commercial clients with a more disciplined, field-informed approach to construction management and project execution.

That background as subcontractors remains central to how we operate today, shaping a practical understanding of jobsite sequencing, coordination, and field execution.
While PLD now operates as a full-service general contractor, drywall work remains a core strength, supported by a trusted network of subcontractors across all major trades. This allows us to maintain control of key schedule drivers while ensuring consistent execution across every phase of construction.
