Why Ellis Construction?


Committed to Safety

Every Ellis worksite operates under a robust safety program designed to protect our team, trade partners and community.  

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.

“Safety is front and center in all we do at Ellis and that culture drives every element of our company. From daily safety huddles to pre-task planning and site-specific elements when necessary; our number one priority in all we do, is ensuring that each and every member of our team and partners goes home safely every day.” 
 
- Erik C. Carlson, President 

Managing Time. Managing Work.

We know that a successful project is about more than just the finished structure. It’s also about a smooth process without the added pressures of downtime, cost overruns and delayed schedules.

Expert Supervision

Our project superintendents, with an average of 25 years of experience, are on-site daily to oversee every detail of your project. They are the first to arrive and the last to leave every day.

Scheduling Excellence

Our on-site superintendent prepares a detailed three and six-week lookahead schedule progressively each week. This is reviewed in weekly meetings with the project manager, owner, architect/engineer and trade partners  involved in the project. 


Planning for Tomorrow

At Ellis, we know your building project is part of your organization’s history and legacy. 

Capital Planning

Our Capital Planning support helps you understand the long-term costs of your building’s systems and equipment, so you can make predictions for budgeting and maintenance of your building, while setting yourself up for long-term financial success
