About Us: Company History

Hudgins has been a trusted name in the construction industry throughout the Tidewater area for more than 38 years.

Lester Hudgins, Jr. started Hudgins Construction Company in 1971 as a commercial building contractor. The Hudgins offices were located in the center of Newport News in what has now become the Oyster Point business park. Within about two years Hudgins began performing some of its own site work. Becoming keenly aware of the importance of proper site preparation, the Hudgins work force gradually moved toward specializing in site work during the next two decades.

In 1993 Hudgins Contracting Corp. was incorporated at the same location, culminating this shift from building contractor to full- service site contractor specializing in site preparation, utilities, and infrastructure work. In 2004 our growing office relocated to Copeland Industrial Park in Hampton, Virginia.

Many of our Superintendents have been with Hudgins since its early years as a building contractor back in the 70’s. They bring to every project a broad range of experience in both general construction and site work, giving Hudgins a unique advantage over our competition.

We understand the importance of teamwork. Our long history gives Hudgins Contracting Corp. the ability to understand the needs of the entire project team – the Owner, the Developer, the General Contractor, and the Subcontractor.

Hudgins is now the commercial site/infrastructure contractor of choice in the Tidewater Virginia area.
