Seeking to attract top talent, Trehel moved its headquarters to Clemson, SC in 1993. That office would later expand four times. As the projects grew in scope and complexity, Trehel opened an office location in Greenville, SC and began pursuing projects throughout South Carolina, North Carolina and Georgia.

In the early part of the 21st century, Trehel’s continued growth and sales volume increased to more than $100 million and 175 talented employees. Projects ranged from small renovation projects to new builds with values over $35 million.

In 2007, Will Huss, who had been with Trehel since 1997, was named President and CEO.

“We’re client advocates,” founder Neal Workman said. “Will has a heart for our employees and a heart for our clients, and those are the ingredients that the successor needed to have in order for the culture to stay similar or very close to what I built.”

After maintaining an office in Greenville for 14 years, Trehel relocated its corporate operation to the Field House at the West End – a 15,000-square-foot suite. The Clemson office moved to a new space within the same complex on Tiger Boulevard, where the company was headquartered for more than 20 years.
