Behind the Name

Donnie Proctor.

Founder and director of Proctor Building Company Inc. — an Alabama builder whose name is on the license, the paperwork, and the work.

Donnie Proctor is an Alabama builder. He founded Proctor Building Company Inc. in 2011 and serves as its director — the same person on the company’s state license, its industry membership, and its work in the field.

What follows is his story, told plainly. The verified facts are here today; the fuller record — family service, school years, a life in ball, and the projects behind the company — is being gathered from documents and photographs and added as it is confirmed.

It is a builder’s story, and a builder’s story should be built the way a good house is: on a foundation you can stand on.

The Story

From an Air Force family to an Alabama name.

Donnie Proctor was raised in a United States Air Force family. His father, Donald Rippy Proctor Sr., served in the Air Force, and the family’s life moved with that service — including years lived overseas. Donnie carries his father’s name.

His school years brought the family west to Arizona and then to Alabama, where Donnie graduated from Decatur High School in Decatur. Alabama has been home base ever since.

He went on to the University of Alabama in Huntsville, earning a degree in marketing — a discipline that, in a builder, shows up as plain talk, honest estimates, and a name kept good.

Donnie’s working life has been spent in and around construction. North Alabama’s building world — its trades and its family-run firms — was the world he came up in, and the trade he made his own.

In 2011 he formed Proctor Building Company Inc. as an Alabama corporation in Birmingham and built it into a licensed, Greater Birmingham Association of Home Builders member firm. Today, through Proctor Holdings, that company stands alongside USA Property Rehab — two companies, one builder, one name.
