Senoia contractor indicted as fraud case expands
A Coweta County Grand Jury has officially indicted Nathan Gividen, the Senoia contractor originally arrested in August 2025 for swindling a local couple out of $17,000. Since his initial arrest, nearly 30 additional victims have come forward with similar allegations of unfinished work and unlicensed operations under Southern Oaks Construction LLC.
SENOIA, Ga. - New charges have been filed against a Coweta County contractor following a FOX 5 story regarding a police investigation into uncompleted construction projects.
The backstory:
FOX 5 Atlanta first reported on contractor Nathan Gividen’s legal troubles last August. Since then, the Senoia Police Department says they’ve been flooded with calls from consumers who allege they also had bad business dealings with Gividen.
What we know:
Police have now filed five additional charges of felony theft by conversion after receiving complaints from at least 30 people. Police say not all of the callers lived in Coweta County, so those cases will be referred to other jurisdictions. The five new cases involve over $150,000.

What you can do:
Gividen is currently held in the Coweta County Jail. Police advise homeowners to always do their homework, such as checking a contractor's status with the Secretary of State’s Office as well as local government offices.
