They have been in business for 64 years and will be approaching their 65th year very soon! Their mission statement is to serve teammates, their partners, and their communities by building with quality and integrity.

Today DeWitt & Associates remains an employee-owned, full-service, general contractor and construction management company centered on building relationships. DeWitt is committed to providing a strong framework to support their clients’ vision. A solid reputation in construction management does not come easily. They have earned theirs over the last 64+ years of ownership, innovation, service, creativity, and dedication to projects. They take pride in their projects, but they never lose sight of safety, sustainability, solid relationships, and building strong communities. Their #1 objective is to have a significant impact on those they serve and those they provide services with.
