The Barnard Legacy

From Calvin to Bill.

Calvin Barnard started the company in 1962 and became known as a premier home builder in Joplin. Bill grew up working beside his dad, started full time at 18, became a partner in 1996, and later took over the company after Calvin passed in 2015.

Today, Bill carries that building legacy forward with expanded excavation services, giving customers one experienced team for both the groundwork and the build.
