Pittman Construction

What Pittman Construction does

Pittman Construction Company is a fifth-generation, family-owned heavy highway contractor founded in 1884 and headquartered in Conyers, Georgia. The firm provides four integrated core services: asphalt sales from eight plants located throughout Georgia, asphalt paving for roads, commercial sites, and airport runways, concrete work for structural and surface applications, and precision grading for foundation preparation. Its underlying technology consists of conventional heavy civil construction equipment, asphalt production infrastructure, and concrete placement capabilities, with no disclosed software platform or proprietary technology stack.

The company serves primarily government clients under a B2G (business-to-government) model, securing contracts with the Georgia Department of Transportation for interstate work on corridors such as I-20 and I-75/85, with county agencies (Jackson, Greene, Henry, Rockdale) on LMIG-funded projects, and with municipal entities on airport runways (Madison Municipal Airport, Covington Airport) and local roads. A secondary, smaller segment serves private commercial developers requiring site paving and grading. Revenue is generated through project-based construction contracts and direct asphalt material sales from the eight plants; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company is incorporated in Georgia, remains privately held under family ownership with no disclosed institutional investment or acquisition activity, and is currently led by CEO L. Arnie Pittman III alongside family executives. Distribution is executed through direct contracts and an independent lease-hauler network for asphalt and material transport.
