About
Veteran Building was founded by Marshall Clayton, a dedicated retired Army veteran with over sixty years of experience in the construction industry. After serving his country, Marshall committed his life to using his skills in commercial and residential construction to give back to fellow veterans and the communities they call home.
Marshall’s vision for Veteran Building is rooted in both craftsmanship and service. Seeing first hand the challenges many veterans face when transitioning back into civilian life, he created Veteran Building as a way to provide affordable housing opportunities while also revitalizing neighborhoods in need.
His leadership ensures that every project undertaken by Veteran Building not only meets high standards of quality but also honors the values of integrity, service, and community support.
