History

Ryzec Building Group, LLC was founded in 2009 by Bert Carrick, Gordon Etter, & Kris Zwycewicz, who shared eight years of previous experience together at a leading builder & developer. After achieving individual success in technical & leadership roles, the trio expanded their expertise with regional & national builders, gaining senior executive experience in the building & land development industry during a decade of economic growth.

In 2007, prior to the national construction recession, the future partners reunited in Nashville, Tennessee. Leveraging their collective expertise, they established Ryzec Buillding Group to deliver quality construction services across diverse commercial market segments, including retail & office tenant improvements, food service facilities, stand-alone buildings, & site development.

With over 100 years of combined experience spanning 10 states, the partners offer a wide range of services, such as Construction Management, Design-Build Project Management, & Executive-Level Owner’s Representation.

Over the past 16 years, Ryzec Building Group has built its reputation on referrals, repeat clients, & tackling challenging commercial construction projects. Known for their mastery of on-time delivery, Ryzec specializes in projects requiring strict deadline compliance, often where competitors hesitate due to stringent performance criteria or potential penalties. This commitment to On-Time, & On-Budget results defines Ryzec’s brand identity, with a record of meeting completion dates & satisfying clients.

Ryzec Building Group excels in projects demanding unique attention & collaboration, turning one-time opportunities into long-term partnerships. They have been a trusted partner at Cool Springs Galleria Mall for 10 years & have completed over a decade of food service renovations for Sodexo Inc. in prestigious institutions like Vanderbilt, Belmont, & the University of Alabama Huntsville & Birmingham. Their design-build portfolio spans large-scale additions, kitchens, dining halls, & retail spaces, where they skillfully coordinate feedback from stakeholders including executives, architects, & clients.
