At Davenport Brothers Construction, our story is built on hard work, integrity, and the people who dedicated their lives to building something greater than themselves. Few individuals embodied those values more completely than Harlan E. Davenport.
As an original partner of Davenport Brothers Construction alongside Steve Davenport and Mark Davenport, Harlan helped establish the foundation upon which the company continues to grow. Through countless projects, years of dedication, and an unwavering commitment to quality craftsmanship, he helped shape both the company and its culture.
Harlan earned the respect of clients, subcontractors, suppliers, and employees alike. He believed success was built on honesty, hard work, and treating people with respect. His leadership extended far beyond construction projects—he was a mentor, teacher, and trusted adviser to generations of employees and family members.
His legacy continues through the company’s leadership, employees, relationships, and the projects that stand as a testament to his life’s work. Davenport Brothers proudly honors Harlan’s memory by continuing the mission he helped create: delivering quality construction, building lasting relationships, and serving clients with integrity and professionalism.
