He served as chairman of the Charlotte Environmental Quality Control and was chairman of the Committee for Uniform Indexing of Specifications – creating a format that was adopted by the construction industry nationwide. His skilled diplomacy is credited for bringing the Association of General Contractors and the American Institute of Architects together in agreement on the contract documents that affect the relationship of architects and contractors and how construction projects are managed. In 2002, Jim received the William H. Dietrich Award – the highest medal given by the AIA for services to the profession.
He was a member of the Myers Park County Club for forty-five years and played tennis until he was eighty years old. He started a doubles tennis group that became known as "Hemphill Hackers."
