Firm History
John Farley, CEO and co-founder, laid the foundation for Contract Construction in 1984, pioneering a commitment to excellence in construction. Starting with negotiated residential and light commercial projects, the company quickly established financial stability, net worth, and bonding capacity. By the mid to late 1980s, Contract Construction had expanded into bidding on public projects, demonstrating its versatility and ability to compete in a broader market.
In 1994, the company shifted its strategy toward fewer but larger projects to enhance continuity and management efficiency within its project teams. Greg Hughes joined the firm in 1998 as a Project Manager, became a partner in 2008, and was named President in 2013. Under his leadership, the company expanded its capabilities in bidding, procurement, and the execution of large-scale, complex projects.
As the company’s reputation grew, Contract Construction embraced opportunities for negotiated work, including Construction Management at-Risk, Design-Build, and Integrated Project Delivery—while continuing to compete successfully in the hard-bid market. Throughout its history, the company demonstrated its expertise across South Carolina, becoming a trusted partner on many of the region’s most notable projects. Its trajectory reflected not only growth, but a consistent dedication to delivering high-quality construction solutions and building lasting client relationships.
In June 2025, Kyle Farley, who had served as Vice President, was promoted to President of the firm. Kyle rose through the ranks by immersing himself in every aspect of the business—from field operations to project management to executive leadership. His deep understanding of the construction process, combined with his integrity and dedication, has earned him the respect of colleagues and clients alike. Following this transition, Greg Hughes stepped into the role of Chief Executive Officer and continues to work closely with Kyle to lead the firm into the future.
Today, Contract Construction continues to build on the legacy of its founders—delivering exceptional projects through experience-driven leadership, strong relationships, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
