OUR HISTORY

Howard Suitt and the Origins of THS Constructors

THS Constructors was founded in 2005 by Howard Suitt, an Upstate native and long time veteran of the construction industry. So, when operations began in 2006, prioritizing clients had already been established as a cornerstone of our business. This approach offers clients an experience unlike any other in the industry and has positioned us as an industry leader through strong connections with Fortune 500 companies, local manufacturers, health care providers, and developers as well as regional warehousing and transportation firms.

Rachelle Bailey

Accounts Payable

With a deep-rooted passion for construction inspired by a family legacy of drywall contractors, I began my professional journey in the industry in 1997 as a receptionist at The Christman Company in Lansing, Michigan. As my interest and skills developed, I transitioned into the accounting department, where I served as the Accounts Payable accountant and provided comprehensive support across accounting functions.

In 2011, my family relocated to South Carolina, where I expanded my experience outside of construction by working in the lending department at SC Telco Federal Credit Union, followed by a role as a Fleet Management Assistant at GSP Transportation.

In 2018, I was thrilled to return to the construction field by joining the THS Constructors accounting team. Being back in the industry reignited my enthusiasm for the construction process, and I take pride in supporting the financial operations that help bring each project to life.
