Caton Construction Group

What Caton Construction Group does

Caton Construction Group (CCG) is a family-owned, Troy, Virginia-based general contractor founded in 1987 by retired U.S. Army Major General Douglas E. Caton. The firm delivers heavy/civil construction (bridges, highways, transportation infrastructure), site development (earthwork, grading, utilities), pipe rehabilitation and jack & bore, and commercial and residential construction, including design-build projects. CCG serves Federal, State, Local Municipality, and Private customers across Virginia and North Carolina, with project sizes disclosed between $1.7 million and $23 million and notable clients including VDOT (multiple bridge projects), Sheetz, Old Trail Development, Longwood University, Hemoshear, Gropen, and Brunswick County, NC.

CCG operates as a Certified Class A Contractor (Virginia DPOR), is VDOT Pre-Qualified, holds North Carolina and West Virginia contractor licenses, and is an authorized Varco Pruden pre-engineered building dealer. The company is a member of The Caton Companies, a Charlottesville-based holding company that also includes Management Services Corporation (4,250+ units under management), Manufactured Housing Enterprises, and Park Lane Finance Solutions. Kevin Moynihan serves as Caton Civil President, leading operations under the firm's stated "Safe by Choice, Not by Chance" safety culture with a zero-incident workplace goal.

CCG generates revenue through project-based, one-time contracts — public sector work is won via formal bidding on VDOT and municipal RFPs, while private commercial and residential work comes through developer relationships and reputation. The firm reports annual revenue of $60 million+, holds $50 million in bonding capacity, and operates roughly $10 million in owned equipment; CCG itself employs more than 200 people and is part of The Caton Companies' approximately 600-employee organization. GTM motion is enterprise field sales concentrated regionally in Virginia and North Carolina.
