About HGCC And The Mission

After working together for nearly a decade — building a wide range of projects including large-scale ground-up commercial buildings and high-quality residential homes — HGCC was founded. Over the years, we developed a shared belief that the construction experience could be better: more transparent, more accountable, and more focused on the people who ultimately live in and enjoy the finished product. With that mindset, we set out to build a company that improves on the status quo and puts the customer experience at the center of everything we do.

Our mission is simple: satisfied customers. We achieve that by maintaining clear and honest communication throughout every stage of the construction process, doing exactly what we say we will do, and holding every member of the project team accountable to the same high standards we hold ourselves to. Just as important, we work to make the building process efficient, straightforward, and enjoyable for the people we are building for.

He began working with Westhaven Builders in March of 2018 due to a shared appreciation for the craft of Design-Build. The last few years have afforded Pan the ability to hone his skills in this ever-evolving industry, as well as pursue architectural licensure.

His grandfather told him, "If you want to have a great fishing trip, go with friends that love to fish."  So, in turn, if you want to have a great building...
