E.W. Howell is first and foremost a builder, our goal with every existing and new client is to be chosen as the builder of their next project. As a company E.W. Howell relies on over a 100 years of building experience inorder to provide whatever services are required by a client on a specific project. E.W. Howell achieves our goal of building under a wide array of contractual methods, either acting as the General Contractor or Construction Manager. Within these two categories there are numerous scenarios available to owners in choosing and hiring a builder and we have been involved in almost every conceivable situation. We pride ourselves on our flexibility and adaptability with our clients to insure a comfortable contractual situation for all involved.

Construction Services


The majority of our work is gained through competitive lump sum G.C. bidding in the private sector, but we also selectively compete within the public sector. As one of the largest commercial builders on Long Island we enjoy a loyal following of qualified subcontractors, which enables us to produce highly competitive qualified bids.

E.W. Howell has recently increased the number of projects in which we are the Construction Manager, the majority of those projects being C.M. "at risk". 

Whether acting as the General Contractor or Construction Manager during the construction process we offer a highly motivated and qualified staff.
• Our Project Executive will oversee and coordinate the efforts of all members of the Project Team, to insure that the level of personnel resources assigned to the Project is appropriate and cost-effective, and to supervise the subcontractor selection process.
• Our Project Manager will act as the primary liaison on the project for the owner, the design team and the implimentation forces and also be responsible for cost and schedule controls, change management, and all required project documentation.
• Our Superintendent will supervise and coordinate construction activities at the project site on a daily basis and will be responsible for quality control, safety and security at the project site, as well as for day-to-day construction progress, deliveries, and housekeeping.
