Hawkins and Kolb Construction Co., Inc. has been a cornerstone of the construction industry in Sumter, South Carolina, for over 45 years. Established in 1976 by P.T. (Tommy) Hawkins and O. Mack Kolb, the company has evolved from a custom home builder to one of the region's most respected general contractors. Tommy Hawkins brought years of experience, notably as a commercial superintendent, while Mack Kolb leveraged his extensive real estate background to lay a solid foundation for the business. In 1990, Chris Hawkins joined the company, and upon Tommy's retirement in 1997, he took over as president, continuing the legacy of quality construction and community engagement.
