Our culture
We value relationships, not only with our clients but with each other. 35 North cultivates a family-oriented work environment at our headquarters in Durham, North Carolina. Since we spend a significant amount of time and energy with our coworkers, we put focus on having a positive, transparent, and authentic working environment.
We are passionate about our employees, and we encourage both professional and personal growth so that our team is constantly learning and evolving.

Our history
35 North, formerly PEG Contracting, was founded 14 years ago by Scott McEntee and is headquartered in Durham, North Carolina. Scott, a former Combat Engineer in the United States Army, founded the company in response to North Carolina’s market’s demand for focused, tailored construction solutions.
Since its inception, our firm has been fortunate enough to enjoy a reputation for client satisfaction and successful project outcomes – both of which allow us a high level of repeat business.
Though our original region of focus has been throughout the Carolinas, we’ve grown to become a firm with a national footprint, with projects and clients across the United States.
Check out our growth since 2010 and the many milestones we’ve celebrated along the way:
