About Us
About Coast Construction
At the heart of our company is owner and operator Rick Harrington, whose hands-on approach and commitment to excellence have shaped every project since day one. Building in the Hilton Head and Bluffton communities since 2004, Rick brings a deep understanding of Lowcountry conditions, construction practices, and what it takes to create projects that stand the test of time.
A graduate of Clemson University, Rick combines formal education with decades of real-world experience to deliver thoughtful, well-executed projects. His leadership ensures that every project is built with precision, integrity, and a clear focus on the client’s vision.
That same standard extends throughout Coast Construction. Our team brings an educated, deeply informed understanding of proper construction practices, backed by years of construction management experience. Collaboration is at the core of how we operate, both internally and with our clients, trades, and community partners. We don’t just know how to build, we understand why things fail, how to prevent problems before they start, and how to protect our clients’ investments from day one.
Having lived and worked locally for years, we’re embedded in the community we serve. We understand coastal weather patterns, local conditions, and the materials required to build homes that are not only beautiful, but safe, durable, and built to withstand the environment they live in. This local knowledge isn’t theoretical, it’s lived experience.
We’re known for being honest, approachable, and highly communicative. Our clients trust us because we listen carefully, explain clearly, and guide them through every step of the process with transparency and respect. We take the time to understand each client’s needs, goals, and concerns, and we tailor our approach accordingly — no cookie-cutter builds, no shortcuts.
At the end of the day, we’re builders, but we’re also neighbors. We take pride in the homes we create and the relationships we build along the way, and we’re honored to be a trusted part of this community.
