What Ordell Construction does

Ordell Construction, LLC is a full-service general contractor established in 1959 and headquartered in Eugene, Oregon, that delivers commercial, industrial, retail, institutional, and food-service construction across Oregon and Southwest Washington. Project scope spans minor tenant improvements to large facilities exceeding 200,000 square feet, with marquee deliveries including a 205,000 sf Bi-Mart warehouse addition (35 loading docks), a 69,367 sf FedEx Ground facility in Bend, a FedEx distribution facility in Coos Bay, a two-story Ninkasi Brewing metal building housing a grist mill, mezzanine, and steel tanks, and a Penske truck leasing/service center. Core service lines are general contracting (pre-construction, design-build, construction management), pre-engineered metal buildings through authorized Varco Pruden representation, concrete services (forming, placing, finishing, tilt panels, foundations, repair, and stamped concrete), site development and excavation, a dedicated Small Projects & Maintenance service division, and specialty trade work including a WCS Drywall/Interior Systems division and in-house steel fabrication.

Revenue is generated primarily through project-based general contracting contracts (one-time, quote-based, scope- and specification-driven) supplemented by recurring maintenance and service agreements with national franchise customers (notably a Starbucks service division handling approximately 300 service calls per year along the I-5 corridor, plus franchise maintenance contracts). Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales and competitive bidding rather than third-party distribution; marketing relies on a project portfolio, industry association memberships (AGC, CSI, CFMA, NAWIC, local Chambers of Commerce), and referral-driven new business from long-tenured clients. Pricing is non-public and project-specific, with multi-year contract cadences on maintenance engagements.

The firm is privately held under the ownership of Sarah Johnstun, who acquired the business in 2022 in its fourth ownership change since founding; the company operates as an Oregon LLC (CCB# 177132) with 11–50 employees organized around project managers, estimators, field superintendents, service technicians, and a Pre-Engineered Metal Building representative. There is no disclosed external capital, parent entity, subsidiaries, or patents, and Ordell's footprint remains bounded to the Pacific Northwest rather than pursuing national expansion.
