WHO WE ARE
Building a Legacy of Excellence Since 1948
Ideal Construction began its journey in 1948 in Crossett, Arkansas, as a small construction company with a big vision. In 1958, Forrest Webb joined the team and set the company on a path of growth to become one of the leading construction firms in South Arkansas. By 1978, Forrest’s son, Mike Webb, became part of the company, bringing fresh energy and ideas that further elevated Ideal Construction to new heights. Today, Mike Webb leads as President and CEO, continuing the family legacy with unwavering dedication and a commitment to excellence.

Testimonial
"One of Ideal's best attributes is its customer-focused approach to construction. It's reassuring to know that as long as my decisions are driven by what's best for our customers, I'll never be second-guessed."
Chris Willis–Project Manager
Testimonial
"Working at Ideal doesn’t feel like work. It’s more like building projects and getting paid for having fun . As someone who was ready to leave the construction industry completely, my mindset has completely shifted since working here. I am once again excited about coming to work every day. The culture at Ideal is naturally great. We don’t have to participate in“team-building” activities because our team is hand-selected to be a good fit with one another. The group of people that I work with has become my best friends. I no longer spend my Sundays dreading the work week. I am finally able to enjoy my full weekend!"
