After completing construction on 45 churches, F.R. Hoar and Son expanded its focus to include retail, commercial, and industrial projects. The company renamed itself Hoar Construction in 1985. [4]

In 2008, it was named the fifth best place to work in America. [5]

With US$866 million in revenue for 2018, Hoar Construction was ranked 10th among Birmingham's largest privately held companies.
