About Us

Hughes Design and Construction was founded in 1997 by Ralph Hughes, Jr., and Cindy Hughes.

Ralph Hughes

Ralph graduated from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville in 1979 with a degree in industrial engineering. He started his career with American Air Filter in Fayetteville, Ark., as a member of the engineering team supervising construction of a new manufacturing facility. Ralph later moved into sales as an engineer and system specialist for companies in Dallas, Texas, and Tulsa, Okla.

Born and raised in Arkansas, Ralph returned to his roots and became part owner of an electrical distribution company in Hot Springs, Arkansas. After selling out of the electrical distribution business, Ralph wanted to return to his long time dream of "building stuff." The love for building was actually birthed from helping his Dad and their builder construct his first home in Van Buren, Ark.

When Ralph isn't on a job site or taking care of business he enjoys following the Razorbacks, playing golf or tennis, or just hanging out with the family. Ralph is career-minded, goal-oriented and quality-conscious. He also moves quickly.

Cindy Hughes

Cindy Hughes graduated from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville where her degree is in Health Sciences. Cindy is a registered licensed dietitian in the state of Arkansas and has recently resigned her 17 year position at St. Joseph's Mercy Health Center to take a more active role in HDC Inc. She continues to nurture her love for health and wellness by being a Jazzercise instructor. Her favorite part of building is naturally the kitchen and exercise room.

Ralph and Cindy have three children: Josh, Alex, and Corbin.
