CENTRAL OHIO COMMERCIAL CONSTRUCTION SERVICES SINCE 1977.

SESSLEY BEGINNINGS

Sessely Building Solutions (SBS) is a high-performing, minority-owned general contracting firm committed to delivering construction projects with precision, transparency, and exceptional service.

We believe that clients deserve a contractor who brings both technical expertise and true partnership to the table — a team that listens, leads, and takes ownership of every detail from planning to closeout.

CONTINUING A TRADITION OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP

A legacy of hard work, artistry, and strong relationships.

Our founder, Robert Sessley Sr., began Sessley Construction out of a deep passion for carpentry and a desire to help homeowners and businesses improve their spaces. For 30 years, his residential remodeling business grew purely through word of mouth, anchored by exceptional customer service and relationship-building.

In 2006, Robert Sessley Jr. joined his father’s company, doubling its volume year after year. A third-generation entrepreneur, Robert Jr. draws his drive from a lineage of strong, hardworking men including his grandfather, a former sharecropper who built a successful janitorial business, and his father.

Under Robert Jr.’s leadership, the company expanded into the commercial industry, adding sophisticated estimating and project management components, and becoming Sessley Building Services. Today, his focus is on maintaining his family’s entrepreneurial legacy while building a premier mid-size general contracting firm that serves as a model for minority inclusion in the commercial construction industry.

Robert’s focus for now and the future is on maintaining their family’s legacy of entrepreneurship while building his own mid-size general contracting firm that will serve as a model for minority inclusion in the commercial construction industry.

SESSLEY BUILDING SERVICES PARTNERSHIP WITH LEADING CONSTRUCTION FIRM

Leveraging a unique partnership to grow into a fully staffed, independent MBE general contractor.

In 2016, Robert Sessley Jr. and Lonnie Miles (Co-founder of Miles-McClellan, a former MBE, EDGE, HUB-certified company of 35 years) joined to begin a mentor-protégé relationship. Lonnie’s guidance and advice helped Robert transition his company into the commercial industry.

After Lonnie’s retirement, Miles-McClellan Construction continued the mentor/protégé relationship, staying true to their founding principles of supporting small, disadvantaged, minority, and women-owned businesses. The two firms created Sessley/MM, a joint venture to pursue a project and continue to develop their working relationship. After many successful JV projects, Sessley Building Services LLC was formed. SBS is an independent MBE company owned and operated by Robert Sessley Jr.
