Covington, LA Home Builder and Developer

HFB Development is a newly formed real estate development company with a goal of setting a standard for home building in South Louisiana that emphasizes four driving principles: quality construction, universal design, hurricane fortification and energy efficiency/ conservation. All of these principles featured in exquisite residences offered at a remarkable value. HFB Development is a collaboration between builder James L. Fields, “Smart Growth” proponent and real estate development activist, Colleen Hawley and civic leader and real estate attorney, James L. Bradford.

James L. Fields, one of the premier craftsman and General Contractors of the Gulf South was hand- picked to bring the vision of HFB to tangible reality. Mr. Fields has a well deserved reputation as a builder of high-end custom homes and historic landmark restorations. He first cultivated his craft in the Vicksburg and Jackson, MS markets and went on to work closely with such prominent southern architects as A. Hays Town and Skippy Tuminello. In addition to having both a commercial and residential contractor’s license, Fields is a certified “Green Builder” and has a NAHB “CAPS” (Certified Aging in Place) designation.

James Fields is a soft spoken Southern gentleman, who pays meticulous attention to architectural detail, demands the highest levels of quality and possesses a passion for building. “It is because of these qualities he was sought out by HFB Development. I can’t imagine a better individual to run the construction division and play a hands-on role in delivering the end product to home owners.” States James L. Bradford founding partner.

“I am honored to be affiliated with this company and the integrity of their vision. We have assembled a high energy, dynamic team of individuals committed to creating a unique and first class development standard in South Louisiana” states Fields. “We are very excited about showcasing our assorted projects and homes to the residents of the area. Although our homes have universal appeal, our initial projects target the Baby Boom Generation. This demographic is exceedingly discriminating. They place a premium on security and high tech features, social activities and fitness. They are empty nesters looking to downsize in square footage, but want their purchase to provide an easy and comfortable lifestyle.”

Testimonials

Terrie and Ronnie Rodrigue:

Terrie and Ronnie Rodrigue are owners of a recently constructed Fields signature home. “We are moving to Covington from the West Bank. We loved the family home we are moving from, but have no regrets. We are moving into our dream home. We feel like we have a new lease on life!” proclaims Terrie Rodrigue, a retired Jefferson Parish employee. Her husband Ronnie, a former ship building inspector from Avondale has a different perspective. “The great thing about the homes are what most people don’t see. I have walked my house with Mr. Fields at every stage of construction. The end product is aesthetically impressive, but the bracing, the strapping, the insulation, the roof decking, flashing and nail patterns,…these are structural components that are a priority to me!”

Jim and Nancy Fletcher:

Jim and Nancy Fletcher, likewise, relocated from the Madisonville riverfront to a Fields signature residence. “We felt like we wanted to move from a multi-story townhome to a slightly smaller one level residence, since we are now on the plus side of 55. However, building a house, particularly at this stage in life gave us pause. We have experienced buying homes many times throughout our life both here and in other areas of the country, but building with the James Fields brand has been stress free! The sales and construction teams have been knowledgeable and accommodating and we’ve actually had fun,” admitted Jim Fletcher.
