Our Team
At South Platte Construction Group, we’re proud to be a Denver-based commercial construction company known for our responsiveness, craftsmanship, and integrity. With a combined 80 years of experience in construction, we combine the agility of a small team with the resources and expertise of a large one. Because we own our own lifts, trailers, and excavators, we’re able to mobilize quickly, delivering fast, reliable solutions for restoration projects, insurance claims, and life-safety repairs. With decades of hands-on experience across commercial, industrial, and multifamily construction, we’ve solved nearly every challenge the field can throw at us. From detailed estimates to complex capital improvements, our team approaches every project with precision, transparency, and a commitment to doing the job right the first time.
The South Platte Way
Ben Hauber
Principle
Ben brings over 15 years of hands-on experience in construction, with a focus on insurance restoration, commercial roofing, project management, and estimating. At South Platte Construction Group, he oversees estimating operations, nurtures client relationships, and keeps morale high on every job site.
Known for his creative problem-solving, clear communication, and precision estimating, Ben has a knack for understanding what clients need and making sure those needs are met with care and efficiency.
Fun fact: When he’s not managing numbers and projects, you’ll find Ben fly fishing, climbing, or diving down YouTube rabbit holes on guitar tones.
Michael Butler
Co-Owner
Michael brings over 20 years of experience in the construction industry, including 15 years in ownership and management. As Co-Owner of South Platte Construction Group, he combines deep technical knowledge with a hands-on approach and a strong focus on quality and precision.
Known for solving complex problems and anticipating challenges before they arise, Michael brings practical, effective solutions to every project.
Fun fact: Outside of work, Michael loves building with his own two hands, whether it’s carpentry, metalwork, or motorcycle maintenance, and rarely hires out a job he can figure out himself.
