Client Focused
Residential and commercial construction

HUG Construction has spent 25 years building and remodeling homes, and we’re now doing that work across North Carolina, from the Triangle to Hillsborough and the counties around it. Same approach: fixed bids, week-by-week schedules, and an update in your inbox every Friday. Bring us a finished set of plans or a rough idea. Either works.

01

Fixed bids

We provide a fixed bid with straight dollar-for-dollar pricing on budget lines, no additional fees or markup on lines that go over. Unlike many contractors who have shifted to a cost-plus format to protect themselves, we stay committed to your budget and timeline.

02

A week-by-week schedule

We provide a fixed, week-by-week schedule that covers the entire duration of your project.

03

Friday updates, guaranteed

We guarantee a weekly update every Friday outlining what we are currently working on, what has happened that week, and if there is anything we are waiting on from you, the client.

04

Full-time selections staff

We guide you through every selection for your project, offering multiple options based on your style preferences and helping you find better prices when needed. Plus, any discounts we receive are passed directly to you.

05

In-house production

Our extensive in-house field crews help us stay on schedule, avoiding the delays faced by general contractors who depend entirely on subcontractors.

06

Project management software

Everything you need for your project, proposals, schedules, daily updates, invoices, and change orders, is managed through our centralized cloud-based project management software.

07

The service you expect

Our experienced management team is always available to address any questions or concerns promptly, ensuring your project stays on schedule and on track.

08

A two-year warranty

We back all our work with a 2-year warranty, double the industry standard, and with 25 years in business, you can trust we will be here to honor it.

Regional expertise

Built for where you live

The Triangle

Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill: established neighborhoods, infill lots, additions, and city permitting. Many Triangle projects start with an existing house and one question: what can this become?

Hillsborough & rural NC

Building on your own land around Hillsborough and the surrounding counties: acreage, wooded and pond lots, wells and septic, and getting the house sited right. Out here the land usually writes the first chapter of the plan.

Giving back

Improving Your World

One percent of every dollar HUG brings in goes to organizations we believe in. The biggest share supports Heroes of the Nation, a 17-acre campus in Kenya that raises, educates, and cares for orphaned children. Over 25 years, 1,600 students have finished school there and gone on to lead in their own communities.

Our CEO Titus does more than write the check. He gets on the plane, and HUG employees have made the trip to see the work firsthand.
