The transformation of Walter I.M. Hodge Pavilion is easy to see.

What isn’t as visible is the USVI workforce behind it.

The before-and-after photos show what was achieved—but they also represent the skill, pride, and craftsmanship of the local tradespeople who helped bring this community forward.

For 20 years, J. Benton Construction has been a Virgin Islands company, working alongside local trade partners across St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St. John. Walter I.M. Hodge Pavilion is another example of what happens when local talent is trusted to lead the work.

• 96% local trade labor
• One transformed community
• Over 400 USVI tradespeople behind the result

As J. Benton Construction approaches our 20-year anniversary in the U.S. Virgin Islands, we are proud of how far we've come—and even more proud of the relationships that made it possible.

Local trade partners, suppliers and relationships have always been key to our progress, driving the level of quality and excellence seen across our work. At our D. Hamilton Jackson Terrace Rehabilitation Project, 99% of this project was completed by local trade labor representing over 250,000 man-hours to date.

Over the years, we have expanded our team, strengthened our capabilities, and delivered projects that have made a lasting impact across St. Croix, St. Thomas, and St. John. We do not just work in the Virgin Islands—this is home—and our commitment to the Territory is reflected in everything we build.

We are grateful for the trust placed in us and thankful for the many trade partners who have helped shape our journey over the past two decades.

Here’s to 20 years—and what comes next!

Craftsmanship that lasts is built through experience, trust, and strong local partnerships.

Today, J. Benton Construction is proud to recognize Instrument & Control System Inc., a valued 36 year old island-based subcontractor and longtime partner whose technical expertise helps strengthen the quality of our work.

Today, we honor and remember the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Memorial Day is a time to pause with gratitude, respect, and reflection. Their sacrifice has shaped the freedoms, opportunities, and communities we continue to build upon.

We remember their service. We honor their courage.

Not all buildings age the same.

Some projects look strong on the day they are turned over, but the real measure of quality is how they look years later.

This building stands as a reminder that good work endures. The details still feel intentional. The structure still feels cared for. The finished product still reflects the level of craftsmanship that went into it from the beginning.

At J. Benton Construction, we believe a project should look as good today as it did the day it was completed.

That is the standard we build toward.

The new Tropical Shipping facility on St. Croix is complete.

Built to support cargo operations and the movement of goods across the Virgin Islands, this facility plays an important role in the logistics network our businesses, residents, and communities rely on every day.

From site development through structural ex*****on, each phase required coordination, planning, and careful attention to the needs of the client. The result is a facility designed to help teams work more efficiently, reinforce critical infrastructure, and sustain long‑term operational success.

Projects like this remind us that construction is not only about the building itself. It is about what that building makes possible for the territory.

Safety Week may be ending, but the commitment continues every day on site.

This week reinforced the importance of recognizing hazards, responding with intention, and respecting the processes that protect our teams. These are not one-time reminders. They are daily practices that shape how work gets done across every project.

Safer jobsites are built through planning, communication, consistency, and accountability. When those standards are carried into the field every day, they protect our people, strengthen our teams, and support better outcomes for the communities we serve.
Safety is not a campaign. It is how we work.
