EDC
EDC was founded in 1990 with the objective of providing the highest quality construction management services that would be fully focused on our clients. Shortly after our founding, EDC was awarded the ongoing development and construction management of a premiere office and research park in southwestern Virginia that today houses over one million square feet in more than twenty-five buildings. Our work there continues today. In the years since, EDC has grown to become one of the most respected construction companies in the country, with a geographic reach that covers the entire Eastern United States, and a diversity of expertise in project types that includes retail, office, higher education, theaters, research & development, and grocery. We are consistently ranked as a Top 20 Construction Firm nationally, and we have put in place over 25 million square feet with an annual project value well in excess of $100 million. EDC value our people second only to our clients. We are fifty plus people strong, of which twenty plus have ownership in the firm. Our owners include upper management, project managers, project superintendents, and administrative and accounting personnel. It is the pride of ownership that we believe makes EDC truly unique and truly focused every day, at every level, upon our clients. We have strived to create a company that by its structure will always treat our customers with the greatest care and respect. Simply put, we love to build. Let us bring our passion, and our skills, to your next project.
