Hughes Construction

At Hughes Construction Company, Inc., we have been building a reputation for responsive, high-quality construction services and fair business dealings across the southeast and into North Dakota since 1960. As a premier builder of multifamily apartment and single-family commercial communities, our professional construction team draws on the knowledge gained through building thousands of apartment units for over 50 years. Whether it's a new construction project or a renovation, we can provide professional services from concept to design, development, preconstruction, and construction. We take pride in our ability to offer value through our various services, including preconstruction, general contracting, design-build, green construction, and renovation.

Our History and Leadership

We have a rich history and a strong leadership team. In 1960, our founder, Garry V. Hughes, began building single-family residential housing. By 1965, we expanded into the development and construction of commercial and industrial projects. Over the next six years, we acted as the general contractor on numerous shopping centers, office buildings, convenience stores, retail outlets, and libraries. Our company grew rapidly, and our founder's experience and determination were the keys to our success. In 1971, we identified multifamily housing as our target market and developed a business plan to provide a full range of services to the multifamily housing industry. This included design, development, construction, and management. Since then, we have successfully constructed over 23,000 multifamily housing units with construction costs totaling more than $600,000,000.

In 2000, Chris H. Hughes joined our company and became our President. He has a Bachelor of Business Administration and a Juris Doctorate from the University of Mississippi. With a combined experience level of over 60 years, Garry and Chris Hughes have expanded our company into the development and construction of medical facilities. We have developed and/or built five nursing homes, consisting of approximately 320 nursing home beds. We have also constructed a $1.8 million Imaging Center for Rush Hospital in Meridian, Mississippi, and we have purchased, renovated, and remodeled three medical office facilities across Mississippi.
