  1. Bid

  2. Submittals

    Shop drawings are drawn in-house, so submittals move on our schedule instead of waiting on an outside drafter.

  4. Install

    Our own crews, from in-wall blocking to the last punch item, floor by floor.

About

From in-wall blocking to the rooftop.

Hardin Contracting carries student housing, multifamily and lab buildings floor by floor, from the blocking in the walls to the last mirror, and builds the millwork and amenity pieces that finish them. We work out of Troy, Tennessee, and have built in thirteen states.

Ben Hardin got his start building pools and spas. That work put him on commercial jobsites, where general contractors started handing him the specialty scopes, then more of the spec book: Division 10, interiors, trim and casework. The amenity work is still where it began.
