Harmon Construction

Harmon Construction, Inc., located in North Vernon, Indiana, has been a general contracting business since 1955 when William D. Harmon started the company as a part-time venture. In 1969, he resigned from the B & O Railroad after 25 years of service to operate the company on a full-time basis. His development of a full-time "total customer service" company was given a boost when his two sons, Bill and Tom, added their full participation in management and operation of the business in the early 1980's. Bill attended the University of Louisville on a basketball scholarship. Upon graduation, he worked two years for a major construction firm before joining the family business. He is also a graduate of the Indiana Training Institute Construction Management Program. Tom received his BS degree from Indiana University and an MBA in marketing from the University of Louisville. He then spent seven years working for Cummins Engine Company in marketing and administration. Bill's son Willie has now joined the firm, becoming the third generation to lead the company. Willie worked part-time at Harmon Construction and Harmon Steel throughout high school and college before joining the business full-time. He attended the University of Phoenix and received a degree in business administration. As Harmon Construction begins its third generation of family leadership, this combination of experience and professionalism continues to fuel our reputation for quality work and reliable service. We believe that in order to maximize the richness of experience and knowledge that comes from having a diverse workplace, all facets of our businesses need to take advantage of this resource. For this reason, we are mindful of diversity in all activities from purchasing and subcontracting opportunities to the hiring of our personnel. By doing this we hope our purchasing and hiring practices are reflective of the communities that we serve. Safety is a culture that goes beyond company policies and personal protection equipment. Proven by our awards and recognition within the industry, safety is made a priority for each person in the company including leadership and field staff.
