Spence Brothers Construction is a general contractor in Niceville, Florida. Below you'll learn about the Spence family history, the mark they made in our colorful community and the lessons of honesty and excellence still adhered to today. Sylvester started a sawmill in the late 1800s, where Turkey Creek meets the head waters of Boggy Bayou in Niceville.
By the end of the century the sawmill was cutting 50,000 board feet per day and it became one of the largest sawmills in North Florida. Soon, the timber was used to build railroads from east to west across the USA. He owned much of what is now Okaloosa County. Land he purchased from the Federal government for 25 cents per acre.
Walter worked in the family sawmill business as a woods-rider. He supervised turpentine operation from horseback. In the early 1930s, he started a dairy in the area where the Climatic hanger is now on Eglin Air Force Base. In 1932, he and his brother Wallace began a fish company on Boggy Bayou. They also started building commercial fishing boats in Valparaiso in the early 1940s.

Services
Lockheed-Martin required several renovations to our new office in the Tech Center prior to occupancy. All renovations were completed by the agreed date and the quality of the work was outstanding. As an Architect, property owner, and property manager, I have enjoyed working with Spence Brothers Construction (SBC) on numerous projects for the last twenty years.
