Clouse Construction Corp.

What Clouse Construction Corp. does

Clouse Construction Corp. is a privately held design-build general contractor headquartered in New Riegel, Ohio, founded in 1975 and operating with approximately 35 employees. The firm provides commercial and industrial construction services across Northwest Ohio, including pre-engineered metal buildings delivered through an authorized partnership with Butler Manufacturing, conventional design-build project delivery, and sustainable construction supported by LEED Accredited Professionals on staff.

The company's core offering combines architectural design, general contracting, and pre-engineered building supply under a single delivery model. As an authorized Butler Builder, Clouse supplies and erects Butler's pre-engineered metal building systems alongside conventional steel, masonry, and wood-frame construction. Project portfolio evidence spans healthcare (a ~200,000 sq ft hospital build), higher education (Tiffin University athletic facilities), public-sector work (Seneca County Parks Fruth Education Building), indoor entertainment (SOAR Adventure Park), agricultural operations (grain handling and dairy facilities), retail, and financial services — indicating multi-vertical capability rather than specialization.

Clouse monetizes through project-based fixed-price and design-build contracts with regional commercial and industrial clients. Differentiation rests on three documented credentials: status as the first Northwest Ohio general contractor in the OSHA Strategic Partnership program, LEED AP staffing and U.S. Green Building Council affiliation, and authorized Butler Builder standing. The firm also markets available development lots adjacent to its New Riegel headquarters, signaling selective owner-developer activity beyond fee-based construction services. Customer relationships are project-by-project with no disclosed multi-year master agreements, and the firm holds BBB accreditation.
