History
The company initially specialized in the construction of churches throughout the Birmingham area. Richard Hoar joined his father's construction business in 1947, and F.R. Hoar and Son was established.{{cite web|url=http://www.hoarllc.com/history.html |title=History: About Hoar |accessdate=2008-07-22 |publisher=Hoar Construction |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080613211157/http://www.hoarllc.com/history.html |archivedate=2008-06-13 |url-status=dead }}
After completing construction on 45 churches, F.R. Hoar and Son expanded its focus to include retail, commercial, and industrial projects. The company renamed itself Hoar Construction in 1985.
In 2008, it was named the fifth best place to work in America.{{cite web|date=July 2008|title=Hoar Construction Name #5 Best Place to Work|url=http://southeast.construction.com/news/industry/|accessdate=2008-07-22|publisher=Southeast Construction}}
