Carl Hire is our Division Manager here at Herbert Construction Company. He oversees the estimating, takes care of our computer and phone technology, and is in charge of our Site Work/Development Division. Carl also manages big projects for key clients, such as the Jacklett Construction, Inc. job featured above. In addition to these duties, he is ready and willing to help out with anything that needs to be done.
Carl’s first exposure to concrete construction was the day after he graduated from High School when he took a job as a laborer with a flatwork contractor. He later found his way into the computer industry and transferred from southeastern Michigan to Atlanta.
After 11 years in the computer industry, he made a career change back into construction and joined Venture Homes. While there, he managed their estimating and purchasing.
It was at Venture Homes where we first met Carl. Seven years later, we were finally able to convince him to join us at Herbert Construction Company.
