Company Overview:
Barnhill Contracting Company's success is built on the values, principles and vision of the man - Robert E. Barnhill, Sr. - whose name we proudly bear. Robert Barnhill built this company on a foundational belief that there is power in people. He was a motivator. A hard worker. A leader of leaders. His passion for people and his firm belief in the Golden Rule - treating others as you want to be treated - still drive us today. We are firm, flexible and honest. We do the right thing, every single time. We empower our leaders in the field to be decision makers. We are easy to work with - a core philosophy that is both intentional and deliberate. One that requires discipline. Grit. All of these qualities, along with our founder's vision, have helped grow Barnhill Contracting Company into one of the Southeast's leading contractors.
Our success is built from the dedicated service of each and every one of our employees. Construction is hard work - long hours and immense pressure to meet critical deadlines - and we are proud to employ the most talented group of people in the industry.
