Folks often come to work here because of the type of work we do and end up staying their entire career because of the people. There is a strong ethos of camaraderie at Hoffman, the feeling that coworkers have your back and are always there to help when you need it. We go the extra mile not just for ourselves, but also for each other. Equally important are the many social, family, and leisure activities that bring the Hoffman family together.

We make sure we’re doing things the right way and for the right reasons. Daniel Johnston Project Manager LEGACY Much has changed since L.H. Hoffman Company began building houses and schools in Portland in 1922. If founder Lee Hawley Hoffman were around today, he would find an industry transformed by new technologies, construction methods, project types, and safety practices. We know he’d be proud to see that Hoffman is now one of the largest general contractors in the United States and has completed some of the most challenging projects in the world. Today, we’re proud to carry on the legacy that’s made the Hoffman name synonymous with construction excellence. The spirit that began 100 years ago continues, every day we come to work. It’s a lot to live up to, but we wouldn’t have it any other way. Contact Employee Login Instagram Facebook Twitter LinkedIn © 2021 Hoffman Construction
