A Clean, Proven Record
Walker Building Group has a proven track record of completing critical infrastructure projects for both public and private clients. We complete awarded projects on time and on budget.

Walker Building Group has the capability, the manpower, and the experience to solve problems on the fly.
Walker Building Group is judgement free, with no claims or suits. It is important that the company you choose is in good standing with its owners and partners. With that in mind, Walker Building Group has never requested arbitration or had liquidated damages assessed on any project or had any safety / OSHA violations.
Our team has experience in a variety of situations, some of which include:
A “double barrel” 84-inch diameter emergency culvert replacement for Metro Nashville Public Works (MPW)
The installation of MWS largest waterline (60-inch diameter)
Tie-ins to MWS 15-foot diameter brick sewers
72-inch diameter sewer installations to 8-foot diameter tunnel installations for Nashville Electric Service (NES) and Harpeth Valley Utility District (HVUD).

Walker Building Group owns and operates a wide variety of equipment ranging from pickup trucks to wheel loaders. We also have an outstanding relationship with our rental equipment partners. With our internally-owned equipment coupled with our rental relationships, we feel that we have more than adequate access to any equipment needed for our projects.

Meet Walker Bloodworth
Walker Bloodworth began his career as a self-employed carpenter while still in high school. He built his first house at age 18, got his real estate license at age 20, purchased a Re/Max franchise at age 25, which he later sold, was awarded a HUD contract to sell hundreds of foreclosures, and still maintains his real estate license today. All of this experience eventually lead to full-time general contracting where he quickly learned how to manage multiple subcontractors, suppliers, crews, and projects.
In 2003, he founded Walker Building Group, LLC, (WBG). At its inception, the company focused on building homes but then evolved into building infrastructure projects in the Metro Nashville area. After the devastating flood in May, 2010, WBG helped to construct or manage over 300 FEMA flood restoration projects in Davidson County for Metro Stormwater, Metro Parks, and Metro Public Works. Since then, WBG has constructed water line installations, storm sewer installations, and site development projects for both governmental agencies and private owners alike.
Walker has created a company that operates from the belief that honesty, hard work, quality, exceptional customer service, and a strong team atmosphere will build a long-lasting company. Because of this philosophy, he has built a solid reputation in the industry as well as the utmost respect from his employees.
