Our History

Monument Construction was founded in 1998 by Tom Dickey and Chris Johnson, two Virginia Tech alumni breaking into real estate development on their nights and weekends. Eventually, this part-time effort grew into a full-time and successful operation.

Chris and Tom have complementary backgrounds for navigating the highly technical aspects of development and construction, as well as a broad-based understanding of how to grow a successful business. The two have worked tirelessly for over 20 years to assemble a complementary and talented team that serves the community and consistently delivers on a wide range of projects large and small.
