What Hammond Construction Inc does

Hammond Construction Inc is a private, family-owned construction management and general contracting firm headquartered in Uniontown, Ohio, in the Northeast Ohio region. Founded circa 1973–1974, the company has operated for approximately 50 years and claims to have completed $3 billion in construction projects across the Midwest. It primarily serves institutional clients in K-12 education, higher education, healthcare, and government/municipal sectors, delivering new construction, phased renovations, and campus improvements. Hammond was among the first regional contractors to adopt the Construction Manager at Risk (CMAR) delivery method with Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) contracts for public projects.

The company's service portfolio is structured around a proprietary "Six Elements of Successful Construction Project Process" methodology spanning preconstruction estimating, construction logistics planning, skilled workforce management, cost tracking and forecasting, quality management procedures, and community engagement. It also offers design/build services and operates a self-perform carpentry division covering demolition, metal stud framing, drywall, finished carpentry, and acoustic ceilings — a deliberate vertical integration that improves quality control and schedule certainty. The firm has been CMAR/construction manager on large-scale projects including a 365,000 SF K-12 campus for Cuyahoga Falls, a 25-year $125M+ program for the University of Mount Union, two 10,000–12,000 SF behavioral health centers for Akron Children's Hospital, and a 60-bed Summa Rehab Hospital for Vibra Healthcare.

Hammond generates revenue through project-based professional services contracts (GMP, cost-plus, and design/build) with institutional buyers. Sales is driven by direct enterprise field engagement — relationship-based selling to school boards, university administrators, hospital executives, and municipal decision-makers — supported by community milestone events, project case studies, and a content-driven website rather than paid advertising. The firm employs 51–100 people per firmographic data (with one internal source citing 150+), and over 60% of the workforce has been with Hammond for more than 10 years, reflecting an unusually stable labor base anchored in long-term institutional relationships.

Broad incumbents

• Turner Construction Company: One of the largest U.S. construction managers, with growing presence in Ohio healthcare and higher education. Competes with Hammond on larger institutional and hospital projects where bonding capacity and global sub-trade networks matter.
• Whiting-Turner Contracting Company: Large national CM firm with significant Ohio presence across education and healthcare. Competes for the same institutional RFPs as Hammond, but operates at meaningfully greater scale and geographic breadth.
• McCarthy Building Companies: National CM with a strong healthcare specialization (including active-occupied hospital work) and growing Midwest education portfolio. Directly relevant as a healthcare-CM peer to Hammond's hospital project work.
• Mortenson Construction: Major national CM with significant healthcare, higher education, and civic portfolio across the Midwest. Competes with Hammond on community-engagement-intensive institutional projects but at much greater scale.

Regional players

• Cleveland Construction: Ohio-based general contractor and construction manager serving commercial, education, and healthcare clients. Overlaps directly with Hammond's Northeast Ohio geography and project mix as a fellow regional CM.
• Skender Construction: Chicago-based construction manager with concentrated Midwest healthcare and education portfolio. Comparable in scale and delivery model to Hammond, though primarily competing in the Illinois/Indiana markets rather than Ohio.

Direct peers

• Gilbane Building Company: Family-owned, multi-generational CM firm with deep K-12, higher education, and healthcare project portfolios. Uses CMAR delivery and self-perform capabilities in many of the same Midwest and East Coast markets where Hammond operates.
• Messer / Balfour Beatty: Messer (now Balfour Beatty) is a major CMAR contractor with deep Ohio and Midwest roots in K-12, higher education, and healthcare construction — a direct competitor for the same institutional clients and project delivery method as Hammond.
• The Boldt Company: Family-owned construction services firm with significant K-12, higher education, and healthcare presence in the Midwest. Offers CMAR and design-build services, and operates self-perform craft labor, closely matching Hammond's profile.
