Hamish Murray Construction, Inc.

Hamish Murray Construction's about page states the company was founded by Hamish Murray, described as a native of New Zealand who grew up and graduated from university there with a Bachelor of Commerce degree. The page states he moved to the United States in 1996 and began his construction career helping his father on a 'fixer-upper' before developing his career further in the trade. The about page states that 'the City of Portland thought so highly of our expertise that it invited Hamish Murray Construction to participate in its Field Issuance Remodel program,' which the site describes as giving the company a dedicated inspector for compliance-related services across its projects; the site presents this as a description of program participation rather than a promise about any particular project's permitting or inspection outcome. The page states the company has 'handpicked' its team of employees over time. The site describes the company's philosophy as offering flexibility, letting clients choose their own architect or designer rather than requiring use of an in-house architect or fixed set of plans. Licensing is addressed on the contact page rather than the about page: Oregon CCB 155435 and Washington license HAMISMC924RZ, with the site stating the company is licensed, bonded, and insured, though specific bond or insurance coverage amounts are not published.

Lists Portland and Murray as a location. Names Oregon, Washington, United States, Portland, and Murray as a service area. Areas beyond these are not published.

Hamish Murray Construction does not publish prices, cost ranges, or fee schedules for any of its services on its website. Instead, the contact page includes a 'Start Your Estimate' call to action that leads a prospective client to the company's contact channels rather than to a self-serve price calculator. The site states, 'Planning to improve or build a new home? We'd love to hear from you. Contact us at (503) 460-7203 with any questions and to learn more about our experience.' The described process for starting a project is to reach out by phone at 503-460-7203 or by email at info@hamishmurray.com, since the company's hours are by appointment rather than fixed walk-in hours. The new construction page states that the company's planning process is meant to help 'firm up your estimate' before work begins, describing careful upfront planning as a way to reduce unknowns on a project, but it does not publish sample rates, typical costs, or a pricing structure for new construction, remodeling, or additions. Because no pricing information appears anywhere on the site that was reviewed, a caller asking about cost should be told that Hamish Murray Construction does not publish prices online and should be directed to contact the company directly to request a project estimate.

Hamish Murray Construction is located at 4438 S. Corbett Avenue, Portland, OR 97239. The contact page lists a phone number, 503-460-7203, and an email address, info@hamishmurray.com. Hours of operation are listed as 'by appointment' rather than fixed daily hours, so a customer would need to call, email, or use the site's contact form to schedule a time to talk or meet rather than walking in. The company's office is described on the site as identifiable by a blue neon sign in the window shaped like the company logo, which the site says represents both a hammer and a kiwi bird, a reference to founder Hamish Murray's origins in New Zealand. The contact page states the company is 'licensed, bonded and insured' and invites visitors to click through to view current license status; it does not publish the specific bonding amount, insurance carrier, or coverage limits. The two license numbers published on the site are Oregon CCB 155435 and Washington license HAMISMC924RZ; these numbers appear in the site footer as 'CCB OR 155435 | WA HAMISMC924RZ' as well as on the contact page. The service area described elsewhere on the site is the greater Portland, Oregon area and the outlying Pacific Northwest. The contact page also links to the company's Google and Houzz review pages and to a client login for BuilderTrend, its project management portal.

Hamish Murray Construction's kitchen remodeling page states the company builds and remodels custom kitchens for clients in its Portland-area service territory, describing the work as covering both classic, traditional kitchen designs and sleek, modern kitchens with contemporary appliances. The page states the company handles kitchen projects of all sizes and scopes, from layout adjustments to complete overhauls. Three types of kitchen remodels are specifically listed on the page: layout and structural changes, complete rebuilds, and small kitchen remodels. The company describes its approach as close attention to detail and a focus on customizing each kitchen to the homeowner's preferences, needs, and lifestyle, stating that no project is considered too big or too small to take on. This kitchen remodeling service sits alongside the company's other listed residential services, which include new construction, whole home remodels, bathroom remodels, basement remodels, and home additions; the kitchen page links to each of these related services. As with the company's other service pages, no specific pricing, cost ranges, or completion timelines for kitchen projects are published on this page. Homeowners interested in a kitchen remodel are directed to the company's general contact information to discuss their project rather than to any online pricing tool.

Hamish Murray Construction's new construction page describes the company as building custom homes designed entirely around the client, rather than a homeowner having to accept an existing house's layout. The site states the company plans every aspect of a project in advance, saying this approach reduces unknowns and surprises, helps firm up the project estimate, and narrows the project timeline before construction starts. The company's listed remodeling services cover whole home remodels, kitchen remodels, bathroom remodels, basement remodels, and home additions, in addition to ground-up new construction. For additions, the company's home page states it specializes in additions that improve a home's functionality while blending with the home's original style, aimed at homeowners who want to stay in their current home but need more space. The site positions itself as a premier home builder serving the greater Portland area. Across its service pages the company repeats that the design and planning process can be customized to the homeowner rather than following a fixed set of plans. The company's portfolio page shows completed residential projects, including one identified as the Sylvan Heights Home Remodel in Southwest Portland, credited with design by Construct Design; the site does not attach individual homeowner client names to its published projects. No project cost figures, price ranges, or build timelines are published on these service pages.
