5 Rules We Follow on Every Job Site (No Exceptions)
Let’s be honest—building construction isn’t just about lifting walls and pouring ready mix concrete. It’s about discipline, detail, and making sure nobody’s walking under suspended girder trusses while scrolling TikTok.
At E.H. Construction, we run a tight ship. Whether we're floating a fresh foundation, dealing with expansive soils, or laying out floor plans for a passive house, there are five non-negotiable rules we live (and build) by. These aren’t just guidelines—they’re gospel.
1. Safety Gear? Always.
Hard hats? On. GFCI outlets? Installed. Eye protection, steel-toe boots, and high-vis vests? You bet. If you’re not geared up, you’re not getting past the footer.
We believe every construction worker—from our most seasoned custom home builder to the rookie on flatwork—should walk off the construction site the same way they walked on. No excuses. No shortcuts. Safety is the real foundation.
2. Clean Site, Clear Mind
You can’t frame a dream home in a mess. From leftover felt (underlayment) to crumpled blueprints, our crews know: clean as you go.
Whether we’re reviewing CAD layouts or forming up a slab for L&T construction projects, we treat every job like a passive house—airtight, organized, and well-planned. Because muddy boots and chaos don’t mix with excellence.
3. Respect the Build (and the Neighbors)
From form to fascia, every nail, board, and beam matters. And so do the people nearby. That means showing up on time, keeping noise down when we can, and parking that backhoe like a gentleman.
We’re home builders, sure—but we’re also part of the community. Whether we’re laying green board or checking a change order, we stay respectful of the environment and everyone around us. Green building isn't just about materials—it's a mindset.
4. Communication is Key (Even When It’s Tough)
From the first bid to the final daily report, communication is everything. Got a cost code question? Confused about the cost to build a house? Need to revise the floor plan or issue a change order? We’ll talk it out. Fast.
Our builders don’t ghost clients. We’re available, accountable, and honest. Even when it’s awkward. Even when the forced air heating/cooling system arrives a week early and the flashing crew is late. We keep it real.
5. Quality Over Everything
You can’t slap together a home like a fast food burger. Quality framing takes precision. Laying ready mix concrete means watching the grade. Installing fire-resistive barriers or flashing demands skill—not guesswork.
We follow the plans (shoutout to BIM and blueprints). We check the specs. And if something’s not right—whether it’s the footer depth or the grain of a glulam beam—we fix it. Because cutting corners now means callbacks later. And we don’t do callbacks.
In Conclusion: Building More Than Buildings
Being a general contractor isn’t just about getting the job done—it’s about how you do it. At E.H. Construction, our job sites are powered by respect, order, and craftsmanship. From pouring foundations to installing frieze boards, we stick to the code. Every time.
Want a team that builds with care, communicates clearly, and always shows up with their boots laced and tools ready? You just found them.
Let’s build something solid.
