Hardin Construction has provided quality construction services across the United States, Mexico, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands. Founded in 1946, the company entered the construction industry building high-quality affordable housing for the victorious GIs returning home from World War II. Through the 1950s and 1960s, the company moved from housing to industrial and eventually to high-rise office buildings and hotels, and by the early 1970s it began completing projects outside the Atlanta area. By the mid-1970s, Hardin had become a leader in the "fast-track" process with projects expanded to include retail and special-use facilities. With commercial development booming by the mid-1980s, the company collaborated with many of the Southeast's major private developers to produce high-rise office complexes, corporate headquarters and hotels. In 1993, the Hardin Family entrusted the legacy of the Hardin name and family business to Earl Shell and his veteran management team, and in 2007, when Earl retired, he did likewise with Brantley Barrow and Bill Pinto. Today, Brantley Barrow and Bill Pinto and their team are leading the company through its most prosperous period. Additionally, there is a management committee charged with overseeing operations and guiding the company's future. Together the present management team represents more than 375-collective years with Hardin. For many years, Hardin Construction has earned the reputation of being one of the top contractors in the nation according to Engineering News Record. The homebuilding company founded in Atlanta in 1946 is now managing the construction of convention centers, office buildings, hotels, retail centers, high-rise residential and universities in 28 states and the Caribbean.
