Wagman

What Wagman does

Wagman, Inc. is a fourth-generation, family-owned construction company founded in 1902 and headquartered in York, Pennsylvania, operating across three integrated divisions: Wagman Heavy Civil, Wagman Construction (general construction), and Wagman Geotechnical Construction. Its heavy civil practice delivers design-build infrastructure services including highways, interstates, bridges and structures, marine construction, rail and transit, site development, bridge deck grooving and grinding, and latex modified concrete overlays; the firm has been a Dow Chemical/Trinseo-licensed Latex Modified Concrete installer since 1974 and operates a specialty mixer-truck fleet supporting this niche. Its general construction arm serves senior living, education, healthcare, commercial, industrial, cultural/community nonprofit, and adaptive reuse markets through development, preconstruction, construction management, and design-build delivery. Its geotechnical construction business self-performs earth retention and deep foundation work, including auger cast piling, drilled shafts, micropiles, cofferdam construction, pile driving, sheet piling, soil nail and tieback walls, and underpinning.

Wagman generates revenue primarily through competitive public-sector bidding on state Department of Transportation projects (DelDOT, VDOT, PennDOT, MDOT SHA) and through negotiated design-build and construction management contracts with private clients. Project values visible in recent wins span roughly $20M to $224M each, covering mega-project highway and interchange work as well as smaller commercial and institutional builds. Subcontractor procurement is centralized through the SmartBidNet online Plan Room, while the firm maintains an organic social and project-portfolio-led marketing presence (LinkedIn, Facebook, X, Instagram, YouTube, and a detailed corporate website). Named public customers include DelDOT, VDOT, PennDOT, MDOT SHA, and PPL Electric; named private customers include WellSpan Health, Penn State Harrisburg, Homewood Retirement Centers, and Children's Aid Society Southern PA District. Operations are concentrated in the Mid-Atlantic United States (Pennsylvania, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware), with 501-1,000 employees and an ENR Top 400 ranking of No. 345 for 2026, improving four slots year-over-year. The company has collected multiple regional industry awards from DBIA-Mid Atlantic, ABC Delaware, ACI Maryland, CMAA, ACEC, MdQI, and the Heavy Construction Contractors Association.
