Henderson

What Henderson does

Henderson is a privately held U.S. construction services firm founded in 1957 and headquartered in Williamsburg, Virginia. Per disclosed firmographic data, the company specializes in general contracting, site development, pre-construction, and special projects, with a workforce of 101–250 employees and a web presence at hendersoninc.com. Its service mix indicates a regional, multi-discipline contractor executing ground-up and special projects work rather than a single-trade specialty firm.

The aggregate input also references a related or namesake entity — Henderson Companies, headquartered in Lenexa, Kansas, operating wholly-owned subsidiaries Henderson Engineers and Henderson Building Solutions. In March 2026, that entity restructured its technology leadership into three specialized teams (Head of Research, Senior Digital Innovation Director, and CIO) to separate research strategy, digital innovation, and operational IT. Whether this Lenexa entity is the same legal entity as the Williamsburg general contractor, a parent, or a separate namesake firm is not explicitly clarified in the available sources; the analysis above treats the Williamsburg firmographic record as the primary subject.

No revenue, pricing, marketing channels, distribution channels, customer logos, or contract data are disclosed in available sources for the primary subject. The company has no disclosed funding rounds, ownership structure beyond 'private,' or external investors. Operating status as of the March 2026 restructuring announcement indicates the related entity is actively operating. Public awards, certifications, patents, and regulatory actions are not disclosed in the available material.
