The Growth Story of Hutcherson Construction (That Almost Didn’t Happen)

Faced with an injury on their third project that could’ve stopped the company in its early days, Hutcherson’s risk management strategy made sure that a single incident didn’t derail their growth.

For founder Nick Hutcherson, the dream of starting a company was the culmination of years of hard work and planning. From humble beginnings in rural Indiana, Nick and his brother took the leap to create Hutcherson Construction.

Nick quickly learned that growing a company is about more than producing quality work — it’s also about protecting the business from unexpected risks that could threaten its future.

Hutcherson Growth Story at a Glance:

• New construction company experienced an employee injury on its third project

Early on, a serious accident on just their third project tested the company’s stability when a balcony collapsed and injured an employee. Unsure of what to do, Nick turned to Acrisure, whose support and insurance guidance helped the company navigate the situation.
