challenging our people to think differently. We insist on asking questions, because we know
that without questioning things, nothing ever gets better. And we look for every opportunity
to capitalize on the entrepreneurial ideas of our employees, which in turn provides clients with
greater value, focused thinking and exceptional results.
Aligned
Equity ServicesIs there anything else that will allow us to be more involved with the project?
Facilities ManagementWho better to operate the building than the people who built it?
Information Communications Technology (ICT)What if all building systems were connected through one, integrated system?
Managed ServicesWhat if we showed the client how to use their smart building in the smartest possible way?
Project ManagementWhy not set the client up for early success before the project even begins?
Virtual Design and ConstructionWhat if we could ensure the Consultant, Client, Contractor and Subcontractor all spoke the same language?
Construction ManagementSoftware (Gate Three)Shouldn’t project communication be quick, easy, and in one integrated database?
Sustainable Building ServicesHow can we bridge the gap between all sustainable (and practical) client options?
Public-Private Partnerships(PPP) ServicesWhat if we had a team dedicated to not only winning DBFM projects, but delivering them properly?
What if our expertise in design was parallel to that of construction?
Isn’t there a less expensive, more efficient way to do that?Engineering, Research and Development & Quality Assurance

COMPLETE OPENNESS
We want to share everything about our company with everyone who works here: the goals, strategies, business plans, and all the results; our strengths, weakness, opportunities and fears. We want our clients to know everything about their projects (while protecting their own confidentiality needs). We want to shine a bright and wide light on problems, opportunities and ideas. Knowledge is power; it must be shared widely, without worrying about our competitors or anyone else.
ENTREPRENEURIAL ENTHUSIASM
We want everybody at EllisDon to watch for and to seize upon new opportunities, to think creatively, to always strive to innovate, and to enthusiastically bring forward their ideas on any subject. We want to lead with our brains, to challenge everything, and will not be constrained by conventional thinking or traditional structures.
INTEGRITY AND MUTUAL RESPECT
We will hold each other to the highest standards of professional and personal integrity. We will be good to our word, and demonstrate complete honesty at all times. And will strive to treat everyone around us respectfully, not just at work but at home and in our communities. On these key values, we will set a consistently high standard.
MUTUAL ACCOUNTABILITY
Everyone at EllisDon should be openly and equally accountable to everyone else who works here and who relies directly upon EllisDon for their success. This accountability must flow not just ‘up’ the structure, but down and across as well. We are all in this together and must rely on one another. We will embrace errors that arise from dedicated effort and appropriate risk taking. We will learn and improve, but we will not shirk.
TRUST
We strive to give every individual at EllisDon the freedom and the responsibility to do their job, to make our clients successful, to create new opportunities. Our systems must serve our people, not the other way around. We believe that everyone at EllisDon is honest and doing their very best, and we value those who can act quickly, intelligently, in the interests of our clients and the company. This belief is the basis of our corporate philosophy.
ELLISDON - A VALUES DRIVEN COMPANY
Strategies, direction, even a corporation’s purpose can change over time, but great values are permanent. EllisDon is an
employee focused company with a ‘fast, fluid and flexible’ approach. Everything can be challenged and debated, except
the values that have built this company.
Companies all face a time where they start to ask the
hard questions: “How far are we going to take this?
Are we remaining true to our vision? Are we actually
making things better or are we merely filling in one
hole, only to dig another?” Maybe you’re asking the
same questions. Many of our clients are.
For EllisDon, it’s about taking hold of the future.
It comes from experimenting and risk-taking. It’s
about making things happen, not waiting for the
future to happen to you.
We build structures but, more importantly, we
build momentum.
That’s the EllisDon difference.
