About Martin Horn
"We build stuff." Martin Horn has had the privilege of building structures all over Charlottesville and Central Virginia for over 43 years. It all began with two partners and a small crew in 1979, and since then, it has become a distinguished commercial construction firm known for its landmark projects and commitment to the surrounding community. Recognizable projects include the Jefferson Theater, the Ting Pavilion, the UVA Baseball Stadium, and the Quirk Hotel in Charlottesville. Their mission is simple: "provide value and earn trust by doing the right thing."
Our Commitment to Sustainability
Martin Horn is committed to preventing climate change in any way they can. They’ve invested in education, technology, and resources required to be industry leaders in green building, in order to provide their clients with the opportunity to achieve certifications in LEED, EarthCraft, Net Zero, and other green building standards. When it came time for Martin Horn to renovate their own office, they practiced what they preached and became the first construction business in Charlottesville to operate out of a LEED certified building. With solar arrays on their roof and electric cars in their parking lot, Martin Horn continues to find new ways to protect the planet.
