ABOUT OYA CONSTRUCTION
At Oya Construction, stormwater isn’t a side hustle, it’s our full-time focus. We’re the only company in Southwest Virginia dedicated solely to stormwater management, and that shows in everything we do. Whether we’re out inspecting BMPs, running CCTV through storm lines, or jumping in to help a contractor stay in compliance mid-project, we bring experience, clear communication, and a team that truly gives a damn.
We’re a woman- and veteran-owned company built on integrity, collaboration, and a deep understanding of the regulatory landscape. Our team brings together decades of experience across construction, environmental management, utility inspection, and civil engineering—so we speak the language of both the field and the office.
We know that stormwater compliance can feel overwhelming. That’s why we focus on making it easier for you. We’re here to simplify the process, handle the details, and give you peace of mind. No red tape. No fluff. Just solid work, clear reports, and a team you can count on.
