W.M. Jordan Company — Construction Manager & Design-Build Firm in Newport News, VA
W.M. Jordan Company was founded in 1958 in Newport News by Bill Jordan and Bob Lawson. The model was simple from the start: Bob ran the job sites, Bill ran the office, and both trusted each other to handle their side of the business without interference. That structure held. Today the company has 285 employees across three locations and over 1,130 documented projects, ranging from Newport News City Hall to a long-running relationship with Huntington Ingalls Newport News Shipyard — their longest-standing client.
The company’s work spans residential remodeling, commercial construction, institutional projects (educational, healthcare, municipal), and real estate development. John Lawson took over as President and CEO in 1985, and the company has since expanded south through the acquisition of Sherman Construction, adding a Greenville, South Carolina office.
