About Henley Construction Group

Your one stop solution for your construction needs

OUR STORY

Henley Construction Group (HCG) was founded on the belief that construction is more than a trade, it is a responsibility to shape communities and create spaces that stand the test of time. Rooted in decades of industry expertise and guided by a passion for meaningful impact, our company was built to elevate the standard of construction across the region while honoring the values of craftsmanship, integrity, and service. 

Our story began when founder Vernard Henley III recognized a gap in the industry: the need for a DBE-certified construction firm that could deliver exceptional quality while remaining deeply committed to the communities it serves. After years of working alongside respected minority-owned construction companies throughout the South, he set out to build a company that blends technical excellence with purpose-driven leadership. From this vision, Henley Construction Group emerged, a firm known for reliability, expertise, and unwavering dedication to its clients.

Though Mechanical and Plumbing construction have become hallmarks of our work, our capabilities extend far beyond. Every project we take on is approached with meticulous attention to detail and a commitment to excellence that redefines expectations. What distinguishes HCG is the hands-on leadership of our founder, whose direct involvement ensures that every team member, every process, and every project reflects the highest standards of the industry. His decades of experience shape our company culture, fostering pride, accountability, innovation, and a deep respect for the communities we help build. 

At Henley Construction Group, growth is constant, not just in the structures we create, but in the impact we make. We believe in building with intention. We believe in uplifting people. And we believe that every project is an opportunity to strengthen the places where families live, businesses operate, and communities thrive. 

We are proud of our legacy, committed to our mission, and dedicated to reshaping the construction experience, one project, one community, and one life at a time.
