Ebert

What Ebert does

Ebert Companies is a family-owned commercial general contractor and real estate developer founded in 1968 and headquartered in Corcoran, Minnesota. The firm has remained under family ownership across three generations and operates as a regional builder concentrated in the Minnesota market. Its service offering spans design/build, project management, carpentry, concrete, demolition, and real estate development, allowing Ebert to self-perform key trades rather than relying entirely on subcontractors, and to originate development projects in-house in addition to serving third-party clients.

Ebert's customer base is diversified across five verticals: multifamily housing, commercial/retail, self-storage, municipalities, and education/religious projects. The multifamily and commercial/retail segments are identified as the firm's primary markets, while municipal and institutional work provides counter-cyclical exposure. An in-house real estate development arm extends the business model beyond fee-based construction into project ownership, while the firm's online Bid Center is used to solicit subcontractors and vendors on active projects. There is no publicly disclosed information on project backlog, headcount, revenue, contract structures, geographic reach beyond Minnesota, or adoption of construction technology, AI/ML tools, or digital estimating platforms.
