When Jeff Wissing and a partner started building homes almost 30 years ago, they couldn’t have imagined the enormous impact technology would eventually play in the evolution and increased size of the small, residential-home-building venture. Revenues in the $500,000 to million-dollar range characterized those early years. Jeff specialized in concrete flatwork; his former partner was a master carpenter. Jeff’s sons, Beau and Bentz, joined Heartland Concrete & Construction (HCC) about 10 years ago. By embracing the latest construction-industry technologies, HCC eventually became a concrete forming-and-pouring powerhouse, with annual revenues skyrocketing to more than $25 million. HCC’s complete range of concrete-construction services includes design/build, precision grading, foundations, slab-on-grade work, and cast-in-place walls.
