Al Kelekci is one of a rare breed of homebuilders who’s been around homebuilding practically all of his life.
HASK was founded by Al’s father, Hasan Kelekci, in 1975. Mr. Kelekci, who holds a Masters Degree in Civil Engineering from the University of Southern California, began building homes in Atlanta’s northern suburbs during the city’s bustling growth era of the 70’s and 80’s. Mr. Kelekci’s engineering background proved to be a major influence on his style of innovative designs, precise craftsmanship and fine building materials. It was during this period when Mr. Kelecki’s eldest son Al was introduced to the trade, starting as a carpenter’s helper, and eventually working his way up to foreman and construction manager.
Eager to be part of “huge projects and to build big buildings,” Al earned an engineering degree at Auburn University in 1987 and soon began his career in commercial and industrial construction. As a young engineer, Al was involved in projects that would define the city’s most spectacular skylines. Although he enjoyed large-scale industrial construction, he missed the intimate work process and personal connection with customers that characterized his experiences with his father’s approach to building homes for families.
In 2002, Al and his father formed HASK Construction. Together, they’ve built dozens of exclusive homes in prestigious Atlanta communities, including Buckhead, Sandy Springs and Brookhaven. Al later formed HASK Custom Homes, to focus on upscale custom homes and whole house renovations and opportunities to provide enjoyable homebuilding experiences for homebuyers. Al enjoys the chance to work each day building homes with the same care and enthusiasm he would building for his own family.
