Building Together

Building Together means supporting a collaborative, service-oriented approach to construction. We know each project we build is more than just bricks and mortar — it is a great opportunity and responsibility to make a positive impact on the communities in which we live and work.

Work Hard.
Have Fun.
Build Something.

We're making an impact on our communities every day and we are humbled to be working with a group of clients who are transforming places where each of us live, work, learn, and play.

"Elford led the charge to maximize prefabrication efforts during preconstruction and successfully prefabricated MEP racks, MEP risers, and the Central Utility plant resulting in positive schedule and quality impacts to the project. This team proactively leads this undertaking with a spirit of collaboration and partnering."

"We are writing this letter of reference based upon our direct experience with Elford over the last 10+ years. We have selected Elford for nearly every significant College of Veterinary Medicine construction project we have initiated during that timeframe and have developed a partnership that transcends the transactional nature of the owner/contractor relationship. Through their technical expertise, attention to detail, and a top-down unwavering commitment, they have earned our trust from pre-construction through project closeout."

"The project had an exceptionally tight timeline for completion since final cafe renovation and connection to the new James Tower had to coincide with James Tower concourse opening. More than 35,000 square feet in 4 hospital buildings were renovated as part of this project. Randy worked closely with the subcontractors and the WMC Project and Nutrition Services teams to meet timelines and seek creative solutions to keep the project on track. The complexity and coordination necessary for kitchen equipment installation in many of these phases took significant time, energy and communication to make happen."

"I have found that the entire team (President, Project Manager, Estimators, Superintendent and others) at Elford Construction will go the extra mile to make sure our needs are met. I would not hesitate to recommend Elford Construction to your school for future pre-construction leadership and construction needs. I am confident that they would serve your school district as well as they have served Upper Arlington City Schools."

"The first, and mot important comment I want to mention is Elford's willingness to prioritize the instructional process. UP front, we gave them a schedule of critical dates including testing. They worked around those dates ad made sure there was no noise nor other disruptions during those times. Similar to the instructional priority, operation needs were the top priority when a phasing plan was developed. "

"The results have exceeded our expectations exponentially. Elford brought the project in on time and significantly under budget. In fairness, they likely would have completed sooner had the owner (us) not added components to the project utilizing realized savings. Through it all, the Elford team has been nothing short of incredible. "

"From the very beginning of the projects’ design and construction process, it was clear that the
Elford team was bringing a wide range of experience and a willingness to work together with BGSU. The professional manner in which your staff led our team’s approach to the project tasks and challenges, helped make the process and project a success. Together, from Elford’s senior leadership to the on-site staff, we accomplished the goal of providing our students with the on-time completion of the 426-bed Greek Housing project."

"We have enjoyed the close and efficient working relationship with Elford since the start of this project. The tight collaboration between Elford and the architects at BHDP has resulted in the design and implementation of modern state-of-the-art teachings labs that will allow the department to continue to be at the forefront of chemistry instruction for many years to come."

We chose Elford for this project due to their extensive experience and reputation for working collaboratively. Now, we have experienced these assets firsthand. The Elford team immediately got to work and created an open dialogue with our team. Every step of the way, they have been a true partner, working to ensure the project was designed with our needs and budget top of mind. The team brought creative and responsive ideas to the table that allowed us to realize our vision."

Alvis has also benefited from Elford’s strong professional relationships that they have incorporated into the project and which are helping to navigate through this large endeavor. I am grateful for the leadership, commitment and dedication of the Elford team and look forward to continuing to work with them through the construction process."
