What Hardin Construction Group does

Hardin Construction & Investment Group, Inc., doing business as Hardin Construction Group, is a privately held, woman-owned, HUB-certified commercial construction firm headquartered in Fayetteville, North Carolina, approximately five miles from Fort Liberty. Founded in 2019 by Lewis Hardin and Heather Hardin, the company delivers turnkey new construction, commercial renovation, water and fire damage restoration, and federal contracting services, holding an Unlimited General Contractor's license that permits bidding on projects of any size. Over six years the firm has completed 210 commercial projects and serves a diversified client base spanning national retail and distribution brands (Walmart, Red Bull Distribution, Mellow Mushroom, Camping World), regional healthcare systems (Cape Fear Valley Health, Sanipak World Health Systems), local small businesses, churches, and federal clients including VA Medical Centers across at least six states.

The company operates a project-based revenue model, providing no-obligation quotes and detailed estimates developed during on-site consultations, with revenue generated through one-time contracts rather than recurring subscriptions. Go-to-market is sales-led and owner-driven, with bidding on competitive federal procurements, direct outreach to commercial business owners, and referral-based demand supported by a 4.9/5.0 Google rating across 111 reviews. A proprietary mobile application provides clients with real-time communication, project updates, and payment monitoring, differentiating the customer experience but not representing a core technology platform. The firm is licensed in North Carolina and Georgia and delivers federal projects in Florida, Illinois, Louisiana, Texas, Washington, Oregon, and South Carolina.

The team consists of approximately seven core staff plus field labor, led by the Hardin co-founders with over 28 years of combined industry experience, and includes a Senior Project Manager, Client Consultant, Accounting lead, Administrative Assistant, and Lead Field Technician. There are no disclosed outside investors, parent company, or funding rounds; the business is owner-financed. Core differentiators include HUB certification status enabling federal set-aside contract access, geographic proximity to Fort Liberty for DOD work, the in-house mobile client portal, and a strong reputation-driven referral pipeline.
