EH Construction

What EH Construction does

EH Construction is a family-owned, second-generation commercial general contractor headquartered in Shepherdsville, Kentucky. Founded in 1990, the firm delivers general contracting, construction management, and engineering services for commercial renovations and new construction, operating across Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Tennessee, and Ohio. Customers are concentrated in four verticals: supermarkets and grocery (notably Kroger), education (K-12 schools, libraries, and university facilities), hospitality (Holiday Inn, TownePlace Suites, Fairfield Inn), and civic/municipal projects (fire stations, courthouses, jails).

The company runs an integrated three-phase service model covering preconstruction (estimating, bid support, scope clarification, schedule planning, subcontractor coordination, permitting), construction (on-site supervision, trade scheduling, RFI and submittal management, change documentation, quality and safety coordination), and closeout (punch list coordination, turnover documentation, final inspections). Its operating methodology is built on clear documentation, disciplined trade coordination, weekly progress updates, fast decisioning on RFIs and changes, and organized closeout. There is no proprietary software platform; technology usage is limited to standard web and accessibility tooling.

EH Construction generates revenue through project-based commercial construction contracts — typically fixed-price or cost-plus — sourced through direct outreach, portfolio visibility, and repeat engagements with enterprise owners and government entities. Pricing is quote-driven and project-specific. The firm remains privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity, operating under family governance with a structured internship program to support its workforce pipeline.
