Published December 10, 2025
Seattle, WA – (12/10/2025) – On Wednesday, December 3, 2025, Joshua Green Corporation (“JGC”), a Seattle-based investment company with a long-standing commitment to growing essential local businesses, announced their purchase of Hos Brothers Construction (“Hos Bros.”), a premier provider of site work and civil contracting services in the Puget Sound region. Meridian Capital, a leading middle-market investment bank, served as the exclusive financial advisor and Buchalter served as legal advisor to Hos Bros. in the transaction.
Founded in 1956 and headquartered in Woodinville, Washington, Hos Bros. is one of the largest private site work contractors in the region with approximately 190 employees. The company provides comprehensive services including site development, excavation, underground utilities, and stormwater systems, as well as proprietary pit and dumpsite operations that serve both internal projects and external contractors.
The transaction supports a generational transition of ownership while maintaining continuity in leadership and culture. President and Chief Financial Officer Russell Proctor, together with Vice President and Chief Estimator Rob Williams, will continue to lead the company. Under their direction, Hos Bros. has achieved significant growth and strengthened its reputation for quality, safety, and long-term partnership.
“The capital investment in Hos Brothers Construction by the Joshua Green Corporation provides us with the financial backing and support for a multi-generational approach to our firm’s long-term planning, execution and growth,” said Proctor. “The value of Hos Brothers continues to grow through our commitment to our clients – building value for the region’s top owners, developers, and general contractors through the passion, knowledge and experience of its people. JGC is invested in the Hos team from top to bottom and this cultural alignment, putting people first, will be the engine behind our success going forward.”
“Choosing Meridian over several other M&A firms was very fortunate,” said Brant Weyer, Owner of Hos Bros. “Meridian’s team worked 24/7 while providing thoughtful, knowledgeable, and experienced guidance. Their ability to maintain excellent rapport while clarifying important or subtle differences to the Buyer was outstanding, and they always had our best interests in mind. Without a doubt, we would recommend Meridian to anyone selling their business.”
“JGC is focused on investing in companies and people that form the core of our local economy,” said Aaron Singleton, Executive Vice President of JGC. “John Caunt and Brant Weyer have been terrific stewards of the business since the 1980s. We believe that the culture they have built at Hos Bros., the experience and capability of the existing team, and the construction needs of the region make this an ideal opportunity for JGC.”
“The successful partnership between Hos Bros. and Joshua Green Corporation is a testament to the strength and quality of the Hos team,” said Brandon Leyert, Director of Meridian Capital’s AEC team. “We were privileged to advise and partner with Hos Bros. through this significant, generational transaction, which provides the capital and support necessary for the company’s continued leadership and growth in the regional construction market.”
This transaction reflects momentum in Meridian’s AEC and Industrials practice and underscores the firm’s expertise in infrastructure and industrial services. Recently, Meridian has advised several leading middle-market companies across the built environment, manufacturing, and engineering sectors such as ME Engineering, FA Engineering, and Superior Duct Fabrication.
