About Us
John P. Wright, Founder & Chairman
Mr. Wright started in the building business over 38 years ago when he founded John P. Wright Construction Company in October 1972. This company was created to provide specialized service in site development work and heavy industrial concrete construction in both the commercial and industrial fields. In the late 1970’s the company diversified and ventured into the residential construction industry, building a number of single-family homes throughout the Hampton Roads area.

Mr. Wright began working in construction immediately following high school and throughout his college days. In 1993, he assumed the role of project manager at Ripley Wright Associates, where he worked exclusively on single and multi-family development, infrastructure and site work. During his career, he has been involved in the construction of more than 3,000 multi-family units.
In 1997, Mr. Wright joined Waverton Associates. In his capacity as Vice President of Construction, he is involved in the negotiation of contracts, construction implementation, and staff field management, as well as development, infrastructure and site work.
