Founded only in 2022, the general contracting firm bypassed traditional startup pacing by aggressively targeting complex, high-stakes infrastructure and institutional projects from its inception. CEO Melissa Drew credits this rapid ascent to a deliberate strategy of building operational capacity and deep industry relationships rather than waiting for organic market expansion. The company’s performance earned it the top spot among all Maryland-based businesses on the prestigious Inc. ranking.

Maryland Contractor InSite BUILD Tops National Construction Rankings
With an explosive 8,266% revenue growth over the past three years, Salisbury-based InSite BUILD has secured the No. 28 spot on the 2026 Inc. 5000 list. This achievement marks the firm as the fastest-growing construction company in the United States, outpacing competitors in a highly demanding sector.
The firm’s recent trajectory is underscored by a series of high-profile accolades for its leadership. Beyond the Inc. 5000 recognition, Drew was named an EY Entrepreneur Of The Year for the Mid-Atlantic region and featured on the Inc. Female Founders 500 list. These honors signal a shift in the regional construction landscape, as InSite BUILD continues to scale its presence across the Mid-Atlantic, focusing on public-sector and higher education work that requires intensive coordination and technical foresight.
