Hoar and Son expanded its focus to include commercial and industrial projects. The company renamed itself Hoar Construction in 1985.[6] With US$537 million in revenue for 2007, Hoar Construction was ranked 12th among Birmingham's 100 largest companies; in 2008, it was named the fifth best place to work in America.[7][8]
