From Blueprint to Empire

In 1978, David graduated from Morehouse College with a degree in psychology and a dream of one day becoming an architect. In 1981, David Moody took his first step toward what he believed would be his lifelong dream—graduating from architectural school and starting his career as an architect. Fresh from earning his five-year professional degree at Howard University, he secured a position at Bechtel Construction, where he was stationed as a staff architect in the nuclear power division. Then one day his boss asked for an architect to volunteer to go to a nuclear power plant construction project. Following his father's advice to go wherever the job required relocation, David raised his hand and volunteered. At the jobsite, he realized construction was his calling. The pivot was made from architecture to construction.

​

The future looked promising as David began building his career in architecture and construction. In 1983, David took his new bride and moved to Atlanta to work for a small mechanical constructor. However, a few months after taking this job, fate had other plans. Just as he was settling into his professional path, David received the devastating news that the company was closing its doors—leaving him suddenly unemployed. The next four years were stressful as he worked for small general contractors.

Facing this unexpected challenge with a newborn at home and mounting bills, David stood at a pivotal crossroads. Rather than seeking another employer, he made a decision that would fundamentally alter the trajectory of his life: he would bet on himself. With determination and vision, David took the bold step of founding his own company, beginning an entrepreneurial journey that would test his resolve and ultimately forge his legacy.
