Our History
A 55 Year Family Legacy of Building West Tennessee
Brasfield Construction began in 1970 when Ken Brasfield set out to build quality homes for families across West Tennessee. In those early years, the company focused on residential construction in the neighboring communities of Alamo, Trenton, Milan, and Atwood. The homes were modest, all-brick, about 1,000 square feet, and sold for around $12,500. It’s a number people still comment on today, a reminder of how different the world was when the company first opened its doors.
As demand grew, the company expanded into the Jackson market, beginning with the development of the Indian Hills subdivision in north Jackson. What started as a small residential builder quickly became a trusted name throughout the region.
Growing With the Community
Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, Brasfield Construction evolved alongside West Tennessee. The company transitioned into medical, educational, faith-based, and commercial construction, forming long-term relationships with owners and architects who valued Ken’s straightforward approach and commitment to doing things the right way. His leadership shaped not only the company but also the community he served through decades of civic involvement.
A New Generation of Leadership
In 2005, Ken passed the leadership of the company to his son, Jeff Brasfield, who had grown up around the business and returned to Jackson after beginning his engineering career in Nashville. Jeff brought a fresh perspective rooted in the same values his father instilled—integrity, craftsmanship, and a genuine respect for clients and partners.
Ken and Jeff Brasfield
Under Jeff’s leadership, Brasfield Construction entered a new era of commercial building. With the company's commercial foundation already well-established by Ken, Jeff focused on advancing the firm’s technology and in-house design services. He strengthened project delivery systems to ensure absolute precision in planning and estimating, creating a leaner, more accurate building process. Jeff also introduced advanced 3D visualization and photorealistic rendering, giving clients the ability to walk through their projects virtually long before construction begins—a natural extension of the company’s growing design-build approach.
This blend of legacy and innovation has become a defining part of Brasfield Construction’s identity.
Building the Future
Today, more than 55 years after its founding, Brasfield Construction remains a family-built, community-focused company. The values Ken established in 1970 continue to guide every project, while Jeff’s leadership has positioned the company for the future with technology-driven planning, design-build efficiency, and a hands-on approach that keeps the owner at the center of the process.
Brasfield Construction is proud to have played a role in shaping West Tennessee—and remains committed to building work that stands the test of time.
Community Leadership & Recognition
Ken Brasfield — Founder Ken’s impact extended far beyond construction. He was named Jackson Man of the Year (1998) and served in leadership roles across the Chamber of Commerce, Boy Scouts, United Way, YMCA, Youth Town, Boys & Girls Club, Rotary Club, and the American Cancer Society.
Jeff Brasfield — Second-Generation Leadership Jeff has continued the Brasfield tradition of community involvement, though his path eventually took a different shape. Early in his career, he served in traditional civic roles, becoming a Leadership Jackson graduate, a COPE Award recipient, President of the Jackson Rotary Club, and a board member for the Chamber of Commerce, IDB, YMCA, United Way, American Cancer Society, and Boys & Girls Club.
However, as his three sons were growing up, Jeff realized that trading the boardrooms for ballfields, courts, and gyms simply fit him better. Over the last decade, he has dedicated his time to coaching youth golf, tennis, basketball, and baseball. For Jeff, life’s greatest lessons—competing, teamwork, respect, and navigating wins and losses—are learned through sports. Coaching was his way to help the next generation build those core foundations.
Company Recognition Brasfield Construction received the Pinnacle Award for “Best Service Company” from the Jackson Area Chamber of Commerce, recognizing excellence in service and community impact.
