In addition to our office and field staff shown above, the HCI crew averages 25 at any
given time. Late spring through fall is the busiest building season; however, construction
crews continue to work through the rain and snow of winter. The crews are divided by specialty
and expertise; composed of a framing crew, finish-work carpenters, timber craftsmen, a concrete
crew, remodeling specialists, a painting crew, and maintenance/customer care.

Dave H

"As President of Hammonds Construction, Inc., I have overseen my company doing major construction jobs for federal, state, and local governments, as well as large commercial and industrial projects of great importance and cost. And, of course, I can’t leave out the custom homes for individual homeowners. A family’s home is their castle. If they're going to the expense of building a home, they deserve it to be everything they ever dreamed it could be—and if we can help it, even more. In this rapidly-changing world, there should be at least one place where people feel completely at ease, happy, and fulfilled-and that's in their own home. With every project we take on, our job is to build with the highest degree of craftsmanship and the most quality features which add the greatest quality to the client’s life; and to do it in an intelligent, cost-effective, sustainable, and innovative way. Thank you for allowing us to share our story with you."

Building has been a Hammonds Family tradition for six generations. From the time David was 7
years old, he often could be found at the side of his father, Harold Hammonds, a California
builder and cabinet-maker. As David grew up, he spent afternoons, weekends, and summers
working with his dad, and at 17 became a General Contractor.

David began California State Polytechnic University while continuing to work with his father.
After nearly four years, David decided his future was in construction and left school to work
full-time with his dad. In 1978, David moved his family to Southern Oregon and started
David Hammonds Construction; which became incorporated in 1985. Today, Hammonds
Construction, Inc. is one of Southern Oregon’s premiere construction companies.

David, and his wife Karen, have two daughters, Lori and Kelly, and one son, Matt. Both Lori
and Kelly have worked part-time in the Hammonds office; and each of their husbands currently
work with Hammonds Construction. Matt began working for the company as a teenager, and
continues today.

David and Karen also have four grandchildren, each of which they love to spend time with.

Karen has worked side-by-side with her husband, David, for over 30 years; she has ranged from his

strong business background.

She enjoys working alongside her husband and is never more pleased than when a client/customer is
happy with a completed job and praises the company’s hard work.

Karen and David are proud parents who have raised three children to adulthood. When their
children were young, Karen was able to stay at home and dedicate herself to being a full-time mom.
Now a proud grandparent, Karen enjoys spending as much time as she can with each of her
four grandchildren.

by summer of 2003. During the summer of 2004, Matt began working in the office rather than the field,
and he hasn't looked back since.

Matt is the youngest of the three Hammonds children and in 2008 he graduated from Oregon
State University with a Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration and a minor in Economics. Additionally, Matt was married in the spring of 2008.
