On January 4, 1995, John Harris formed John Harris Construction, Inc. The initial vision of the company was to provide site excavation services to the growing cellular tower industry. Those services included site leveling, stone entrance roads, concrete equipment/building slabs and footers, underground conduit installation for the power and telecommunications industries, grounding installation, and tower foundations. The company also provided general excavation services including water and sewer installation, erosion control and general grading.
Though JDH has grown exponentially since its founding, now with more than 200 employees, JD still invests personally in each and every employee, taking a personal interest in their professional and personal development. JD formed JDH to not only provide excavation services to the growing cellular tower industry, but also general excavation services including water and sewer installation, erosion control, and general grading. Realizing the need for a full-service construction provider, he quickly positioned the organization to provide a full range of tower erection, modification, and decommissioning services. He also led JDH’s entry into the fiber optic construction field, including a full range of splicing, mapping, engineering, and placement services. An entrepreneur at heart, JD again expanded the JDH portfolio in 2014 by adding vertical drilling to the already expansive menu of services. This has allowed JDH to partner with a growing number of electric power, civil, and commercial construction entities. JD’s vision has produced an extremely successful and well respected business operation.
