Hutton Construction

What Hutton Construction does

Hutton Construction is a Wichita, Kansas-based design-build general contractor founded in 1992 and family-owned under the Hutton family, with Ben Hutton serving as CEO since 2016. The firm operates across six offices in Kansas and Arkansas with more than 400 team members, including 150+ self-perform craft workers, and delivers projects through an integrated design-build model using BIM coordination.

The company runs five service lines: Hutton Design+Build (general construction across commercial, healthcare, K-12 and higher education, industrial, and community segments), Facility Services (post-construction maintenance and operations support), Energy Services (energy retrofit and efficiency), Hutton Development (real estate development), and Sevenfold (a partnership/venture extending into workforce housing). Revenue is generated via design-build and construction-management fee structures plus self-perform trade work, with project examples in the multi-tens-of-millions range (e.g., a $22M hospital project and a $13.8M student center) and a cumulative healthcare track record exceeding 300 projects and $650M in value.

Hutton serves a mix of named enterprise and institutional clients — including Koch Industries, CHS, Kubota, Capitol Federal, Kansas State University, and Wichita State University — and has expanded both organically (Manhattan KS office, Springdale AR office, both 2025) and via acquisition (Busboom & Rauh, 2019). Headcount has more than tripled since 2016, and the addition of development and energy capabilities indicates a deliberate vertical-integration strategy that internalizes more of the project value chain.
