Our Story

Hyperion Construction was founded in 2001 by Joseph Gadzik.

After attending the US Naval Academy and serving in the Marine Corps, Joseph wanted to apply those leadership skills in the civilian sector by creating a construction company with an emphasis on sustainability and “Doing the basics well.” In the Marine Corps it was such things as taking the time to write a thorough operations order, making sure that whenever training rounds are fired the Marine gets feedback on its impact, make a terrain model so that unit leaders can “see” the environment they will encounter, etc. In the world of construction, it is much the same. Do what you say you are going to do. Return phone calls. Show up when you say you are going to. Communicate if there is a change of plans. Clearly and effectively talk through and capture decisions and expectations. Since it’s inception, Hyperion Construction has prided itself on “Doing the basics well.”

Over the years and the varied economic circumstances the face of that has continued to change and evolve. What began as a passion for green and sustainable new housing changed with the crash of 2008 to focus on existing homes and keeping the inventory that we have strong and sustainable into the future. That moved into structural repairs/rebuilding which led to the purchase of earthmoving equipment. That equipment and capability quickly became a larger part of our business model and has continued to evolve to today’s current mix of forestry services, demolition, and excavation. While it sometimes feels like we are not in an easily defined sector, our experience is that these three disciplines are actually very complimentary and frequently intermingled. Our ability to do all three with a high degree of proficiency fills a very rewarding and needed niche in the market.
