Founded in 1981 by Julio Pessoa, Pessoa Construction Company (PCC) has a rich history rooted in the road construction industry. Julio immigrated from Portugal in 1974, starting his career as a laborer and gradually advancing to a concrete finisher and operator. His dedication led to the establishment of PCC after he bought out his partner, Jack Couto, in 1979.
Initially a concrete subcontractor, PCC has expanded its services over the years to become a well-respected general contractor with expertise in various sectors including heavy construction, utilities, stormwater management, and environmental improvements. The company is committed to building quality infrastructure across Maryland, Virginia, Washington D.C., and Delaware, and prides itself on exceeding client expectations on every project, regardless of size.
Pessoa Construction's service offerings encompass a wide range of capabilities including utilities, storm drainage systems, water and sewer lines, heavy highway construction, site development (both commercial and residential), and roadway paving. The company also specializes in concrete work, including precast walls, concrete barriers, and roadway rehabilitation.
PCC boasts numerous certifications that highlight its reliability and commitment to diversity, including MDOT MBE Certification and several DBE certifications under various state programs. The company is also recognized as an approved contractor for major utilities like WSSC and Artesian.
With over 40 years in the civil construction industry, PCC is proud of its legacy and the strong work ethic fostered by its founder. The firm values integrity, hard work, commitment, and accountability as its core principles. As it continues to grow, Pessoa Construction actively seeks skilled individuals to join its team and contribute to its vision of building a better future.
