❖<br />
Above: Hand Construction, LLC, built<br />
the Cypress Pointe Apartments in<br />
<strong>Bossier</strong> City.<br />
Below: <strong>Shreveport</strong>’s Marriott<br />
Fairfield Inn was a large Hand<br />
Construction project.<br />
From landmark projects such as <strong>Shreveport</strong>’s<br />
Riverfront Festival Plaza to industrial giants<br />
such as the General Motors plant expansion,<br />
Hand Construction, LLC, is building for the<br />
future, not just in <strong>Shreveport</strong> and <strong>Bossier</strong> City<br />
but throughout the South and West.<br />
Founded in 1980 by Owner and President M.<br />
Cayce Hand, the company is one of the largest<br />
general contracting firms in this region, and is fully<br />
licensed in Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, Florida,<br />
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and California.<br />
From Hand Construction’s headquarters at<br />
5902 Buncombe Road in <strong>Shreveport</strong>, its full-time<br />
staff oversees major projects for clients in all<br />
eight states.<br />
The firm’s vast experience includes construction<br />
of institutional, multi-family residential, industrial,<br />
and commercial projects. Through the years,<br />
its managers and supervisors have proved their<br />
qualifications again and again, and have acquired<br />
expertise in dealing with local, state, and federal<br />
agencies. This enables Hand Construction<br />
to provide a total package for any construction<br />
project. The company offers full design-build<br />
services, taking a client’s project from the idea<br />
stage to the finished product.<br />
A special point of pride for Hand Construction,<br />
LLC, is its Safety-Loss Control Program, for which<br />
it has received numerous awards. Its Experience<br />
Modification Factor, a standard by which the<br />
construction industry measures safety, is among<br />
the best in the business, as is its record with the<br />
federal Occupational Safety and Health<br />
Administration. This is because the company<br />
makes safety procedures a priority in its hiring,<br />
employee orientation, and daily work. In his<br />
policy statement, Cayce Hand says, “It is my<br />
intent that all company employees devote serious<br />
attention toward making this program an integral<br />
part of their day-to-day operations.”<br />
Not only does this provide a safe working<br />
environment for all Hand Construction<br />
employees and the general public, it also<br />
reduces the costs that would otherwise be<br />
incurred by on-the-job accidents. Considering<br />
the size and complexity of its many projects, the<br />
company’s safety record is truly remarkable.<br />
The quality of Hand Construction’s work is<br />
evident throughout the region. The U.S. Post<br />
Office-Lynbrook Station; the Knight Street Office<br />
Building; Hebert’s Town & Country Chrysler Jeep<br />
Plymouth; the CHRISTUS Schumpert Mercy<br />
Center; the Marriott Fairfield Inn; and Cedar<br />
Creek Apartments are just a few of its <strong>Shreveport</strong><br />
projects. Construction projects in <strong>Bossier</strong> City<br />
include Cypress Pointe Apartments, the Wray<br />
Ford dealership, White Oak Apartments, and<br />
