Why Choose Hansen Harris Construction in Newberry, FL
About Us
Hansen Harris Construction is more than a building company; it’s the continuation of a legacy that began over fifty years ago. In 1972, Al Hansen founded Hansen Construction Company, Inc., with a simple vision: build homes with honesty, craftsmanship, and care. His work quickly became a cornerstone of the community, and the values he lived by continue to guide everything we do today.
Eric Harris grew up in Newberry, Florida, working on his family’s farm and learning the value of hard work, perseverance, and doing things the right way. Those lessons shaped the way he approaches homebuilding today. Carrying forward the Hansen name is both an honor and a responsibility, inspiring us to ensure that every home reflects the trust our clients place in us.
At Hansen Harris Construction, we don’t believe in cookie-cutter houses. Instead, we focus on listening, understanding how families live, and creating homes that feel personal, lasting, and true to the people who will live in them. Every project is built with the same pride and attention to detail that Al Hansen started with back in 1972.
For us, it’s not just about construction; it’s about carrying forward a tradition, building homes that matter, and helping families create a place where their own stories can unfold.
Meet the Owner
Eric Harris grew up on his family’s farm in Newberry, Florida, where early mornings and long days instilled in him the values of hard work, honesty, and doing things right the first time. Those lessons shaped not only who he is but also the way he leads Hansen Harris Construction today.
Family has always been at the center of Eric’s life. He and his wife, Kelly, have been married for over 30 years, building a life together rooted in faith, commitment, and community. That same dedication carries into his work, because to Eric, building homes is about more than construction. It’s about creating a foundation where other families can grow, thrive, and make lifelong memories.
When Eric founded Hansen Harris Construction, his vision was simple: to bring a personal touch to custom homebuilding. He takes the time to listen, understand, and guide each client through the process, making sure every home reflects the people who will live there. His approach combines craftsmanship with care, ensuring that each home is built to last for generations.
For Eric, the journey from farm life to building dream homes has always been about the same thing: hard work, integrity, and family.
