Clark Construction Group, LLC is a construction firm headquartered in McLean, Virginia, and founded in 1906. The company had 2018 annual revenue of more than $5 billion,[1] and is one of the largest commercial and civil contractors in the country.[1] Some projects include Capital One Arena[2] and L’Enfant Plaza.[1]

History

The company traces its founding to the George Hyman Construction Company, an excavating company, in 1906. Business boomed, as it initially had the only steam shovel in Washington.[3] The company began doing construction work in 1923; its first such contract was with Wheatley Junior High School. The company was involved in numerous military construction projects during World War II.[4]

Hyman died in 1970 and was succeeded by his nephew Benjamin Rome.[4]

In 1969, A. James Clark bought the company from the Hyman family[5] and oversaw major growth including one of its earliest projects L’Enfant Plaza in Washington. Clark formed a separate company in 1977 for non-union projects in the Washington area (Hyman legally could not bid on such projects).[5] In 1995, Clark merged construction companies of Hyman, Shirley Contracting Company, Guy F. Atkinson Construction and OMNI to form Clark Construction.[4]

In 2016, a year after Clark died, firm management bought the company from its parent Clark Enterprises, leaving the parent to concentrate on its private equity, financial and real estate markets.[5]

In 2025, Clark Construction was awarded a $200M contract by the Trump administration, in conjunction with AECOM and McCrery Architects, to build a 90,000 square feet (8,400 m2) state ballroom, which would include demolition/modification of part of the East Wing of the White House.[6]
