History
The company initially specialized in the construction of churches throughout the Birmingham area. Richard Hoar joined his father's construction business in 1947, and F.R. Hoar and Son was established.[4]
After completing construction on 45 churches, F.R. Hoar and Son expanded its focus to include retail, commercial, and industrial projects. The company renamed itself Hoar Construction in 1985.[4]
In 2008, it was named the fifth best place to work in America.[5]
With US$866 million in revenue for 2018, Hoar Construction was ranked 10th among Birmingham's largest privately held companies.[6] In August 2018, Turner Burton was promoted to president of the company.[7] At the same time, Randall Curtis was announced as chief operating officer and Will Watson was named vice president of the Alabama division to replace Burton.[7] In December 2018, Hoar Construction was named the Company of the Year in Construction Dive's annual Dive Awards.[8]
