Architectural Construction

Meet the Builder

When asked how long he has been involved in residential construction, Peyton “Bud” Hurley jokingly responded, "I was raised on a job site."  All kidding aside, Bud recalls accompanying his parents, owners of Peyton Hurley Construction, to residential job sites when he was a small child. In his teens, he recollects doing various jobs for his parents' company during the summers gaining valuable “hands on” experience with job rotation on foundation and framing crews.  

After graduating from Christian Brothers High School, Bud attended the University of Mississippi until he received a call from his parents who asked for his help in the family business as the requests for custom homes soared.   Prior to receiving his BBA in Business from the University of Memphis, Bud was promoted to Project Manager for Peyton Hurley Construction in 1987.

By 1988, Bud was named head of Peyton Hurley Construction, building custom homes in some of the most prestigious developments in Memphis including The Gardens of River Oaks, The Estates of Riveredge, and on large parcels of land in east Shelby County.

When reflecting upon those years, Joyce Hurley, construction industry veteran and Bud’s mother, said, “Buddy had a million dollar education.”

ArcCon’s History and Highlights

In 1991, Bud Hurley was anxious to add his unique style and discover his niche, so he founded ArcCon, short for Architectural Construction, which was incorporated with Bud as the President.  During that same year, ArcCon won the celebrated honor, "Best of Show," in the Vesta Home show.  With that success, Bud continued his focus in the Cordova Club subdivision.

As the company was awarded the status "Registered Home Builder" by the Home Builder Association, Bud became a member of the GBI (Graduate Builder Institute) by taking instruction in "Building Technology," "Estimation," Project Management," "Scheduling," "Computer Technology," "Energy Efficient Construction," and more recently "Structured Low Voltage Wiring."

From 1993 through 1995, ArcCon built both custom and speculative homes in Rivertrail Crossing, The Gardens of Riveredge, and Lakeland.

From 1995 through 1998, ArcCon focused on building homes in Halle Plantation and Dogwood Gardens.

Since 1998, ArcCon’s presence has been in subdivisions such as Bedford Plantation, The Grove of Raleigh La Grange, Davies Plantation, Southwind, and Oakleigh.

In 2001, Bud was presented with a unique opportunity to build in the heart of “old” Germantown in a new subdivision called Germantown Manor.  As he and his wife, Sherry, were thrilled with the news of the arrival of their second child, Bud had a visualization of a family oriented neighborhood tucked away in a quiet cove with a sense of community.  His visualization is now reality as he nears the end of construction of all residences in the neighborhood he calls home.

Today ArcCon, still under the leadership of Bud Hurley, builds 6-8 homes a year. ArcCon’s concentration is primarily distinctive custom homes in the Germantown, Collierville, and Shelby County.  As an active member of the Memphis Home Builders Association and the National Association of Homebuilders, Bud Hurley is a registered homebuilder.  All homes are built on a turnkey-fixed price contract basis.

ArcCon’s Vision

In 2004, ArcCon plans to build 3-4 homes in McVay Park (just North of the Germantown park on McVay) as well as custom homes in Normandy Place, La Grange, and Germantown Manor.  ArcCon is available for additional projects.
