Paul Hogan - President :
In the construction world there is a vast difference between “theory” and “real world”. As a young man, Paul Hogan worked for 10 years as a laborer, carpenter and foreman on construction sites gaining unmatched “real world” building experience.

Paul has managed, priced and estimated projects that range from $10,000 to $117 million during his 30 years of construction experience.
Since founding Hogan Construction Group in 1998, Paul has gained a reputation as a “Builder’s Builder”………doing it right the first time and not taking short cuts that will reduce the project’s quality. As a fast track specialist and an expert in program development, he is very hands on, personally involved and deeply committed to his clients’ project success. You will see Paul in his hard hat and boots, inspecting a jobsite or personally testing and driving a new piece of heavy equipment.
The principles of Paul’s dedication, hard work and philosophy are weaved throughout the corporate focus on purpose and legacy. Its stated purpose is “to provide solutions that translate visions into realities” with an underlying philosophy “to build more than buildings but also to build people, careers and relationships”.
