What EHC does

EHC, Inc. is a Fort Myers, Florida-based construction company founded in 1990 by Jeff Hunt that provides pre-construction, earthwork, and infrastructure services to public- and private-sector clients across Southwest Florida. The company operates three integrated service lines: pre-construction services (conceptual estimating, cost proforma analysis, value engineering, detailed cost estimates, site utilization, work flow and sequencing, and construction scheduling); earthwork services (land clearing, lake excavation, rock removal and crushing, import/export and embankment fill, grading, subgrade and base preparation, demolition, erosion control, and environmental remediation); and infrastructure services (road building, paving, hardscape, underground utilities including storm drainage and water/sewer systems, bridges, and box culverts). Its customer base spans government (FDOT, Lee County Port Authority, Collier County, Charlotte County, City of Cape Coral), education (Florida Gulf Coast University, New College of Florida), and real estate/development (The Ronto Group, Taylor Morrison, DR Horton, Continental Properties, Beazer Homes), as well as tier-one general contractors (Turner Construction, Manhattan Construction, Ajax Paving, OHLA, Astaldi, DeAngelis Diamond) for whom EHC serves as a specialty earthwork/infrastructure subcontractor.

EHC generates revenue through project-based professional services contracts acquired via competitive bidding, RFPs, and long-standing client relationships; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is project-specific. The company holds Florida Certified General Contractor licenses (CGC014953, CGC1516554) and has executed marquee projects including 33+ miles of I-75 improvements, the Lindsford 260-acre community (over $20 million), the Clam Bayou ecosystem restoration ($5.4 million), and the Hertz Worldwide HQ campus. Operations span Lee, Collier, Charlotte, Hendry, DeSoto, and Sarasota counties with an employee base of 51-100. In 2024, EHC transitioned to an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP), enabling founders Jeff and Greg Hunt to retire from daily operations while elevating Tony Hamilton to President and Shane Graves to Vice President of Operations. Underlying technology consists of computerized estimating, accounting, scheduling, and productivity systems; no proprietary AI or platform technology is disclosed. The company is privately held, with no disclosed funding rounds, M&A activity, or external investors.
