Construction Management
Construction management is at the core of what we do. Acting as your trusted partner, we bring owners, architects and engineers together to provide leadership and administrative support throughout your project’s lifecycle. Whether you need traditional management or an at-risk arrangement, we handle your project responsibly, efficiently and on schedule.
What is Construction Management?
Construction management is a specialized service that oversees the planning, design and execution stages of a construction project. It bridges the gap between vision and reality by coordinating all elements of a build including budget management and cost controls, scheduling, quality control, and risk mitigation. It’s essential for a smooth and successful outcome for any construction project.
Why Choose Ellis Construction as Your Construction Manager?

Expert Leadership
Our experienced team thoughtfully manages and executes every phase of your project.
Streamlined Communication

Cost-Efficient Solutions
From sourcing materials to avoiding delays, we focus on value-driven results.
Proven Reliability
For more than 90 years we have been committed to delivering exceptional results every time.
We’re proud of our ability to do our work while you do yours. Our safety certifications prove that we are committed to performing construction within owner-occupied and active environments while reducing or eliminating the need for closures. This includes a special focus on dust control, keeping noise levels low, and making other unique and specific accommodations based on project requirements.
Project owners can expect regular and transparent updates from Ellis Construction to keep budgets on track. Weekly progress reviews led by the project manager and superintendent monitor all costs, with monthly budget assessments by the project manager and project executive to provide clear updates on projected completion costs. This structured oversight ensures financial accountability and helps prevent unexpected expenses.
Effective cost control is essential for every Ellis Construction project. We tie every purchase order and subcontract agreement to a cost code within our job costing system for meticulous tracking. Verified by our project managers and superintendents, invoices are reviewed for accuracy, confirming materials are delivered in good condition and subcontractors’ work meets our high standards. Our accounting software actively flags overcharges or invoices that lack proper insurance certification. With the added layer of Procore® software for continuous project monitoring, we ensure every cost aligns with budget projections. Procore® is a registered trademark of Procore.
We develop detailed schedules during preconstruction and continuously refine them throughout the project lifecycle. Our Superintendents and Project Managers create rolling 3-week and 6-week look-ahead schedules every week. This process is shared with all trade partners weekly and the owner at construction progress meetings. Streamlined communication keeps stakeholders connected and informed, allowing us to anticipate and address potential delays swiftly. Focusing on cost-efficient solutions, we align timelines with budgetary constraints, ensuring a smooth and efficient workflow, correlated to correct labor and manpower presence as well. By reviewing our lookahead scheduling at each meeting, we can identify challenges, opportunities and wins together as a team, which will allow us to quickly pivot to optimize your project.
We establish clear quality benchmarks from the project’s outset so every detail aligns with design and performance expectations. Through streamlined communication between project managers, superintendents and trade partners, we proactively review progress, identify potential issues and implement solutions before they impact results. By maintaining rigorous standards and prioritizing cost-efficient solutions, we minimize rework and unnecessary expenses. Additionally, with Ellis Construction’s ability to self-perform selective demolition, carpentry, concrete flatwork, footings and foundations, steel erection and equipment operation, we are able to further ensure the best quality craftsmanship for you.
Ellis Construction takes a proactive approach to identifying and managing risks at every stage of your project. Our team conducts thorough risk assessments during preconstruction creating strategies to address potential challenges before they escalate. Streamlined communication with all stakeholders ensures risks are shared and resolved collaboratively.
“All throughout construction phases, the communication and coordination provided by the superintendent and Ellis’ project manager were exceptional.”
