Hoffman’s safety culture starts with our Get Us There Safe program, honoring the courage it takes to safely execute our work. More than just policies and procedures, our GUTS campaign focuses on the human side of safety, instilling a deep commitment to safety that reaches from management to craftworkers.

We believe construction injuries are preventable through planning, training, and teamwork. By integrating coaching and mentoring efforts to create a culture of learning, we have achieved industry-leading safety performance while improving productivity and lowering costs. We review and learn from incidents, viewing them as opportunities for systemic improvement.

Building long-term relationships with our customers is the foundation of Hoffman’s business. That process begins with creating a just and ethical work environment for our employees, subcontractors, project partners, and stakeholders. From truthful interpersonal communication to transparent stewardship of project budgets, Hoffman people are called to a high standard of conduct. When faced with the choice of acting with integrity, we choose the harder right rather than the easier wrong. That’s how we have achieved nearly a century of success and an 87% repeat customer rate.

Hoffman’s culture links action and learning to drive continuous improvement. We track quality across our projects, measure ourselves against industry benchmarks, and actively participate in the ACIG Quality Peer Group.

For us, innovation means giving employees the freedom to test new ideas and processes, backed by access to emerging technologies and tools. From advancing safety programs like GUTS and Tough Enough to Talk to leading the way in Off-Site Manufacturing, Hoffman creates space for innovation that improves how we build and how our people grow.

Hoffman is an active supporter of programs and organizations that make every community where we work a better place to live.

Backed by the resources of the company, Hoffman employees participate in health and social service organizations, the arts, youth programs, education, and sports. We also work to bring young people into the industry through mentorship programs serving high school students.

As a company, we help community groups achieve their goals by providing hands-on project guidance and specialized construction services such as in-kind contributions from our industry partners. We have completed important projects for theater groups, churches, women’s shelters, affordable housing agencies, art museums, and educational organizations.

Recruiting and training the next generation of builders and creating opportunities for new businesses is central to Hoffman’s success and the long-term health of our industry. Social equity and inclusion are not add-ons; they make us better builders.

We work to build a strong, diverse workforce and a broad pool of subcontractors so the benefits of construction are shared across the whole community. That includes engaging minority, women, and small businesses on every project, supporting apprenticeship opportunities, and building lasting partnerships with organizations that promote equity in the trades.

Our approach goes beyond awarding contracts. We help small and diverse firms build the skills, capacity, and confidence to grow. With dedicated outreach specialists, technical support, and mentorship, Hoffman ensures that firms and people leave our projects stronger than when they started.

Climate change and growing energy demands are among the most urgent issues facing the world today. Hoffman recognizes that being responsible to future generations means leading in sustainable construction techniques and materials.

We have put this into action across our company. Our warehouse operates with a rooftop solar array, our fleet runs on hybrid and biodiesel power, and most of our staff are LEED Accredited. Our in-house LEED education program has also helped dozens of small and minority-owned businesses qualify for green projects. Every Hoffman job includes an aggressive recycling program to maximize material recovery and minimize waste.

Hoffman has delivered some of the Northwest’s most advanced sustainable facilities in partnership with forward-thinking owners and designers. From medical and research centers to large-scale infrastructure, we bring deep knowledge of material performance, energy-efficient systems, and long-term building operations. Sustainability is not an add-on; it is integrated into how we build and how we innovate.

Hoffman’s reputation is built on performance. Owners come to us with clear expectations: a project delivered within budget, completed on time, built to the highest standards of quality, and executed with an uncompromising commitment to safety. Our record shows that we do more than make promises, we fulfill them.

Performance at Hoffman means discipline, accountability, and relentless focus on results. It is the reason clients return, the reason our partners trust us, and the reason our projects stand as benchmarks in the industry. For more than a century, this standard has carried us through complex challenges and high-stakes work. It will continue to define Hoffman in the century ahead.
