About Us

OLIVER / HATCHER CONSTRUCTION is a full-service construction management and general contracting firm. We have constructed over 12 million square feet and renovated over 8 million square feet, including structures near 1 million square foot and redevelopments of over 1 million square feet. We have also renovated nearly 2 million square feet of office interiors in the past ten years.

Why did we start the company?

With a solid track record in the commercial construction business, Paul Oliver and Paul Hatcher started their own company in 1995. It was driven by a desire not just to be different — but to be better. They set the bar higher and built a team with the highest standards of professionalism. For example, all OLIVER / HATCHER project managers are graduate degreed and LEED Accredited and every project superintendent is a college graduate. These are just a couple of the many factors that help build the
OLIVER / HATCHER Difference.
