CO-CHAIRMAN, HITT CONTRACTING, FALLS CHURCH
Virginia Business// August 29, 2024//
Hitt Contracting, one of Virginia’s biggest general contracting firms, was started by Hitt’s grandparents in 1930. In 1984, Hitt joined his family’s company as an assistant project manager. He rose through the ranks to become co-president in 2005, and was named co-chairman of the newly formed board in 2017, ushering in a new generation of leadership that includes Kim Roy as CEO. The company earned $5.6 billion in 2023 construction revenue.
In November 2023, the company unveiled plans for its six-story, 270,000-square-foot headquarters in Falls Church. The new headquarters, slated for completion in late 2026, includes a 100,000-square-foot photovoltaic solar canopy that is expected to generate all energy needed for the building.
A graduate of Georgia Tech, Hitt has been a major supporter of Virginia Tech, including $5 million toward construction of Hitt Hall to house the Myers-Lawson School of Construction; it is expected to open later this year. Hitt also supports a variety of charities, including Habitat for Humanity, Ronald McDonald House, JDRF, and the Wounded Warrior Project.
