Edifice, LLC, a North Carolina-based general contractor, is proud to help plan and build the structures that train our future generations.

Though we boast a diverse portfolio in all major construction markets, we have completed over six (6) million square feet of educational buildings serving kindergarten classrooms to college campuses. Since 1978, Edifice has built its reputation on a simple philosophy: to attend to the needs of our clients, express concern for our employees’ wellbeing, take care of our business partners, and give back to the community by helping those in need. Headquartered in Charlotte, North Carolina, Edifice is consistently ranked as one of North Carolina’s Top 100 privately owned companies by Grant Thornton, LLP. Along with past awards for our philanthropic involvement in the community, Edifice is also listed as a top contractor in publications including ENR Southeast, Business North Carolina, and the Charlotte Business Journal.

First Tryon Advisors* is a full service financial advisory practice based in Charlotte that serves the needs of independent K-12 schools with a focus on the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.  Our job is to help NC independent schools determine the amount of debt they can afford and implement the best financing solution for their construction project needs. 

Our practice recently welcomed Wye River Group, a Maryland-based financial advisory practice with a strong presence in the independent school space, to our team.  Much like First Tryon, Wye River’s growth and success have been built upon the principles of integrity, expertise, innovation, and outstanding client service. Together, our combined group consists of 24 motivated professionals who can offer our clients a wide range of expertise and services that includes Financial Advisory Services, Capital Planning Models, Operational Consulting and Swap Advisory Services.

Our mission is to give our clients peace of mind by delivering expert advice, innovative planning strategies and tailored financing solutions.
