Shirley shapes the Mid-Atlantic area. Almost everywhere you look, in the mid-Atlantic region, you see Shirley Contracting Company's work— bridges, highways, roadways, paths & trails, railways, and more. All of these projects, large and small, stand as testaments to our unequaled experience in shaping our region. But you only see the finished project. What you can't see are the qualities that built it; on-time, on-budget performance. Management savvy, engineering know-how, innovation, all with an unfailing commitment to excellence. A dedication to safety second to none. Those qualities underlie every cubic yard of earth we move, every yard of concrete we pour, every foot of pipe we lay, and every stone we place.

We at Shirley have the experience, skill, and resources to tackle the most challenging construction under the most demanding schedule.

Look for the professionalism behind the projects, and you'll know why Shirley is the Mid-Atlantic's premier full-service heavy contractor.

We build relationships, not just roads. For more than three decades, in hundreds of projects, Shirley has forged lasting relationships with clients, developers, general contractors, and subcontractors throughout the eastern United States. Whatever our role— whether as general contractor or as part of a larger team— Shirley fosters a spirit of cooperation and mutual respect toward the common goal of quality.

This spirit of cooperation extends to the community as well. Our record of careful planning, sound management, safe worksites, and on-time performance shows respect for the natural environment while minimizing traffic disruption and other inconveniences for the communities where we work. Shirley builds its relationships - like its projects - to last.

A quality company built by quality people. Shirley has made total quality management an organizing principle since 1974. Prizing people above all other resources, we have always empowered our workforce to make decisions, seize the responsibility for customer satisfaction, and grow personally and professionally. Our training programs have won numerous awards, and our focus on customer satisfaction never waivers.

Shirley's people have always been the source of its strength. In addition to training and professional development, we're particularly proud of our long-standing record of safety. The American Heart Association, Associated Builders and Contractors, Heavy Construction Contractors Association, Metropolitan Washington Airport Authority, Virginia Road and Transportation Builders Association, and Washington Metro Transit Authority are among the organizations that have honored Shirley for outstanding safety performance.

Value engineering and innovation fuel Shirley's success. Strong cooperative relationships and team thinking breed innovation. At Shirley, "value engineering" means creativeness in action. Collaborating with developers, subcontractors, and government authorities, we consistently conceive of new ways to reduce costs, speed up completion, and improve quality.

More than three decades of experience. Since 1974, Shirley has been marshalling the expertise and resources for projects large and small. We continue to provide a full gamut of services, from concept through construction, from securing financing to preconstruction, and from design-build to project management. What's more, with over a quarter century of experience in Heavy and Highway construction, we know the regulations and requirements of state, city, county, and local transportation and highway authorities.

Shirley Contracting Company has earned a reputation unequalled in the industry. How? By respecting our people, our communities, and our clients.
