The I-85 corridor
The Charlotte region's industrial growth runs along I-85 and I-77 — distribution buildings, manufacturing plants and the suppliers that serve them, from Gastonia through Concord and up to Salisbury. Rowan County sits on the northeast end of that corridor, about 40 miles from uptown. To the northwest, the Hickory–Newton area in Catawba County has its own industrial base and has drawn large data-center investment.
Work around the region
Most of Alpha's history near Charlotte sits just outside the metro, in Catawba County: an institutional building that ran 18 weeks, a prevailing-wage public-works project, and three jobs Alpha Labor crews worked in 2026 with up to 15 hands on site. The Salisbury job brought that work inside the Charlotte metro.
North Carolina rules
North Carolina has no state prevailing-wage law, though federally funded and some publicly funded work still carries wage requirements — our 2024 Catawba County public-works job ran on prevailing wage. The state requires E-Verify of employers with 25 or more employees; Alpha verifies every hire in every state.

How it works
Your scope. Our hands.
01
You keep the contract
The contract, the scope and the schedule stay with you. Alpha supplies the crew that does the work.
02
Alpha is the employer
Every hand is a W-2 employee of Alpha Labor: payroll, workers' comp and E-Verify handled before the crew mobilizes.
03
Foreman-led crews
Crews arrive with their own foreman and work your erection plan under your direction — sized up or down as the schedule moves.

FAQ
Common questions
Has Alpha Labor worked in the Charlotte area?
Yes — a six-week job in Salisbury in 2026, plus five jobs in Catawba County to the northwest: an institutional building, a prevailing-wage public-works project and three jobs Alpha Labor crews worked in 2026.
How far are your crews from Charlotte?
About 960 road miles — roughly 15 hours from Alpha's Kansas City base. A crew of 4 to 15 can be on site within 24 hours; full hyperscale mobilizations take about two weeks.
Do North Carolina jobs need certified payroll?
Only when the job requires it. North Carolina has no state prevailing-wage law, but federally funded work falls under Davis-Bacon. When a job needs certified payroll, Alpha provides it.

You do. Alpha is the W-2 employer of record and supplies the foreman-led crew; the contract and the scope stay with you. Call (772) 285-6009.
