E-Z Construction

What E-Z Construction does

E-Z Construction Co. is a privately-held, family-owned general construction contractor headquartered at 7420 Distribution Drive, Louisville, KY. Founded in 1970 and operating for more than 55 years, the firm serves the Kentuckiana region (Kentucky and Southern Indiana) through four integrated service lines: Site Work Services (earthwork, sanitary and storm sewer construction, design-build engineering), Concrete Services (bridges, retaining walls, foundations, sidewalks, curbs, streetscapes, stamped concrete, pavers, precast and pour-in-place box culverts), Industrial & Commercial Services (design-build engineering for manufacturing plants, distribution centers, and drainage improvements for industrial sites), and Parks Construction Services (park infrastructure, pathways, parking lots, playgrounds, splash pads, public restrooms, historic park renovation).

The company operates a B2B / public-sector project-based revenue model, generating revenue as a general contractor or subcontractor on fixed-price or negotiated construction projects awarded via direct bidding, negotiated contracts, referrals, and public procurement. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; customer acquisition flows through the company's website (ezconst.com), phone (502-937-6855), and direct outreach by Estimating/Project Manager Ben Davis and Business Development Director Fran Curry. The company invests in modern equipment — Komatsu Intelligent Excavator and Topcon GPS-enabled layout systems — and specializes in techniques such as precast box culvert construction to compress project schedules.

E-Z Construction has been led by President Ed Davis since its 1970 founding, with a multi-generational Davis presence and a tenured leadership team including VP Tim Dues and Office Manager Melody Smallwood (since 1992). The firm has not raised institutional capital, has no subsidiaries, and has not engaged in M&A activity. Notable work includes the Kentucky International Convention Center (Business First Deal of the Year, 2019), University of Louisville Belknap Residence Hall (ICF Builder Award), Yew Dell Botanical Gardens Castle Gardens ($5 million project, completed 2025), Woodford Reserve Distillery, Kroger store and distribution center projects, and MSD (Metropolitan Sewer District) infrastructure — the latter supported by documented procurement of over $1.5 million for industrial clients under MSD's $20 million Combined Sewer/Green Infrastructure Stipend Program. Geographic footprint remains firmly regional with no disclosed expansion plans.
