Greenhut Construction Company, Inc. was established in 1946 by Dudley Greenhut in Pensacola, Florida. Mr. Greenhut was the son of a dry goods store owner whose family settled here in the late nineteenth century.

After Mr. Greenhut's father died in 1922, he began working construction to help support his mother, brother and sister. He was forced to go to work full time at age 16 and worked for a large road builder and later for the largest general contractor in northwest Florida.

Mr. Greenhut launched his own career at age 37 by building a one room school addition in west Pensacola. He then successfully completed other school projects and began a series of several successful government projects at Eglin AFB and NAS, Pensacola.

Dudley Greenhut continued to expand his business steadily, branching out to the states of Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi by 1963. In 1971, Mr. Greenhut's son, Bill, joined him in the business after graduating from college. Bill was brought through the ranks, serving as safety and equipment manager, assistant estimator, project manager, and vice-president before assuming operational control of the firm in 1983. Bill continues as President of the firm today, ensuring the commitment to quality construction begun over 53 years ago.

Greenhut Construction stands today as a hallmark business of the early Pensacola era and is generally recognized throughout northwest Florida as the leader in the construction industry. It has a legacy of over 1000 commercial projects and over $1 billion in completed projects including many well known public and private buildings.

Greenhut believes the future of its industry lies in strong partnering relationships among all of the parties to any design and construction relationship. Communication and the exchange of key information is essential to the success of a project and Greenhut is a strong proponent of the advantages of providing full preconstruction services, (budget control, value engineering), and constructablility reviews at the early schematic design process.
