Specialties

Remodeling

When it comes to remodeling, nobody likes surprises. We’ve worked on enough older houses over the years that we can anticipate many issues in advance, which helps us keep our budgets and timelines accurate throughout the construction process. Whether it’s creative wiring from the 1800s or foundation issues due to 1950s cinder block, we’re adept at dealing with whatever eccentricities your home offers up. We’ll make the transformation to a more functional home while retaining its charm.

Our remodeling projects include:

Kitchens & bathrooms

Basements

Full-​house renovations

Additions

Garage conversions

New Construction

Building from the ground up generally makes for a smooth project because you’re free from the limitations of an existing structure. With Hamish Murray Construction, you’re also free from the constraints of prescribed floor plans and designs. Although we maintain partnerships with some of the best architects and designers in the region, we’re also happy to work with your plans and your favorite service providers to give you the new home you’ve been waiting for.

Our new construction projects include:

Single-​family dwellings

Multi-​family dwellings

Auxiliary dwelling units (ADUs)

History

Established in 2000.

Hamish Murray graduated from university in New Zealand with a Bachelor of Commerce degree. He moved to the US in 1996, helped his father on a «fixer-​upper,» continued to develop his skills as a framing contractor, and started Hamish Murray Construction in 2000. As is common with those of us lucky enough to call Oregon home, Hamish has a passion for the natural environment. In 2010, he completed a year-​long US Green Building Council course and became a Sustainable Building Advisor. He strives to reduce the carbon footprint of his own activities and those of his company, and he takes every opportunity to incorporate green building principles into his projects. Hamish lives in a remodeled 1910 Craftsman home with his wife and two sons.
