In Memory OfPaul Charles Hedrick1955–2009The original “Brother” of Hedrick BrothersConstruction

When I first learned about sustainable construction, I embraced it because it fit into ourculture and philosophy. I believe everything built today should benefit our lives todayand the world of tomorrow. “Green” construction is the responsible way to build, andprovides lasting value for our clients. This stewardship idea has moved us in the directionof sustainable construction, beginning in 2005 with our first “green” commercial officebuilding. Now, with three completed sustainable projects and two “green” schoolsunderway, we believe this is the smart approach for our children, the environment, andthe future of the construction industry.

Our growth has been organic. This natural development can be attributed to aninvestment in our employees, building quality construction, and involvement withour community. At Hedrick Brothers, we provide an atmosphere where all ouremployees can be successfuland perform to their fullest,while growing a culture ofaccountability that producesexcellence. This environmenthas allowed us to growconsiderably over the years,not only in project size andtype, but also in manpower.We take great pride in thequality of our work, and we strive to ensure that ourclients receive the very best.

Recently, a third-partyresearch firm surveyed ourcurrent and former clients.Overwhelmingly, when asked how they would describe Hedrick BrothersConstruction, the participants perceived us as “delivering a quality product, havingpride in their work, possessing integrity, and looking out for the best interest of thecustomer.” These qualities are continually demonstrated through our brand promise of being Relational, maintaining the highest level of Integrity, delivering Qualityconstruction and keeping our Commitment as strong at the end of the project as it is at the beginning. These uncompromising principles have been the foundation of ourbusiness for 30 years.

Our good name is based upon good construction, and our commitment to yoursatisfaction remains the foundation of our future. I thank you for allowing HedrickBrothers Construction to Bring Your Visions to Reality for 30 years and to continue to do so for generations to come.
