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.

Certified Women’s Business Enterprise

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.

A Client Experience That Speaks for Itself

Clear communication, organized execution, and dependable follow-through are the standards PLD works to deliver on every commercial project.

Laura was communicative, organized, and thorough from start to finish. The project was completed on time, and every phase was handled with professionalism and attention to detail. We would gladly work with PLD Construction Group again and recommend them without reservation.
