A Growing Business

Larry Davis grew up learning the business of building custom homes from his father.  In the mid 1970's he took the business over when his father retired.  He weathered the economic climate of the early 1980's and came out fighting.  He continued building custom homes throughout the '80's but worked at expanding the business. So, he began by hiring job foremen and gradually adding divisions. 

In the early 1990's he hired David Brantley who helped expand the commercial division with medical clinics, banks, schools, jails and much more.  Then in 1994 his son-in-law, Scot Matlock, came into the picture.  Scot has a long history of heavy equipment operation in his family and Davis Construction proudly added that to their protfolio by the mid to late 1990's.  Scot is currently the VP, COO.

In the early 2000's Grant Novak was added with the experience of undergroud utilties and more recently, a licensed master plumber, was added to broaden our scope with the addition of a plumbing division.  Brian Warner now heads up our residential home division along with helping Linda Davis design our custom homes in house.  Our most recent addition has been an electrical division.
