Standard Construction

What Standard Construction does

Standard Construction Company, Inc. is a privately held, family-influenced hot mix asphalt paving contractor and materials supplier founded in 1957 and headquartered at 7434 Raleigh LaGrange Road, Cordova, Tennessee. The firm operates four Standard Havens hot mix asphalt plants and eight gravel pits distributed across Southwest Tennessee (Cordova, Collierville, Millington, Whiteville, Stantonville) and North Mississippi (Como, Byhalia, Olive Branch), giving it vertically integrated control over aggregate supply, hot mix production and paving execution. Approximately 25+ named staff support estimating, plant and pit operations, foreman-led paving crews, quality control laboratories, transportation, parts, HR, safety and accounting; the company website lists an active careers portal and recruiting HR contact, consistent with ongoing hiring.

Standard generates revenue from three streams: project-based asphalt paving contracts for federal, state and local government customers (e.g., TDOT interstate overlays, I-40/240 interchange, Wolf River Blvd Extension, airport runways); project-based asphalt paving for commercial and private-sector customers (e.g., FedEx, UPS, Target, Chick-Fil-A, Volvo, Kroc Center, Shelby Farms Park); and transaction-based material sales — hot mix asphalt sold FOB per ton at the plants and sand/gravel (fill sand, washed sand, mason sand, top dressing sand, washed gravel) sold FOB with delivery services available from five pit locations. The go-to-market is direct sales, with separate phone contacts for government estimating, commercial estimating, asphalt sales and sand and gravel sales, supplemented by industry association membership in NAPA, ARTBA, AGC, TRBA and NMHBA.

The technology stack is industry-standard and physical-asset-centric rather than software-centric: Standard Havens drum plants with 150-to-300-ton storage bins, certified QC labs at all four plants, authorized-applicator status for the patented Street Print / StreetPrint XD / DuraTherm decorative asphalt processes, warm mix technology, and recycling of asphalt, concrete and process water. Pricing is quote-based for paving services and unit (per-ton) pricing for material sales; no public price list is disclosed. The firm holds an unlimited Tennessee contractor license, Mississippi licensing, and Travelers Insurance bonding, and has accumulated 15 TDOT/TRBA Smooth Paving Awards, three Safety Award Class Winner awards and two TDOT Commissioner's Top Quality Awards, alongside NAPA Quality in Construction recognition and West Tennessee AGC Contractor of the Year.
