What MICHAEL J WRIGHT CONSTRUCTION does

Michael J. Wright Construction Company, Inc. is a privately held framing contractor founded in 1989 by Michael and Marianne Wright, headquartered at 8 Robbins Street, Suite 101, Toms River, New Jersey. The company provides structural framing services in wood and steel for residential, commercial, and military housing projects, including apartment complexes, townhomes, single-family homes, custom homes, additions, dormitories, offices, banks, restaurants, and military barracks. Its technology stack is conventional construction: dimensional lumber, engineered wood products, and steel framing assembled by experienced field crews, with sheathing, fascia, and window and door installation handled in-house.

The firm employs approximately 130 people, many with 30+ years of tenure, and maintains a network of more than 300 subcontractors that allow it to staff multi-state projects. Its military housing franchise is the most operationally distinctive line: it has completed over 3,600 units on seven different military bases across six states and holds a current backlog of 800 additional units, including active projects at Eglin AFB and Hurlburt Army Air Field in Florida. Crew throughput is reported at 10 to 16 townhouses or 6 to 10 single-family homes per week on military projects.

The business model is project-based, with one-time contracts for framing scopes priced through private quotes. Go-to-market is direct sales via phone (732-281-0222) and the company website (mjwrightconstruction.com), supported by Google reviews and social media. Customer segments span large residential builders, high-end local custom builders, military housing general contractors, and commercial developers (banks, fast food chains, restaurants, office buildings, college dorms, and Veterans Affairs housing). In 2024, the company finalized the acquisition of Capoano Contractors, Inc., expanding local market share and adding staff and clients under a shared quality and customer service philosophy.

Comparable as a broad incumbent operating in the same military housing and large institutional/commercial verticals that MJ Wright serves via framing subcontracts.

• NVR, Inc. (Ryan Homes / NVHomes): Large national homebuilder that consumes large volumes of framing services from subcontractors like MJ Wright. Comparable as a customer-side counterparty in the residential framing value chain and a benchmark for the underlying housing demand that drives MJ Wright's residential work.

• Balfour Beatty (US): International infrastructure and military housing contractor with significant US military housing privatization work.
