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. [4] 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. [5]

Hyman died in 1970 and was succeeded by his nephew Benjamin Rome. [5]

In 1969, A. James Clark bought the company from the Hyman family [6] 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). [6] In 1995, Clark merged construction companies of Hyman, Shirley Contracting Company, Guy F. Atkinson Construction and OMNI to form Clark Construction. [5]

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. [6]
