We highly recommend Elite Builders and Eric for any construction project. Eric led the construction of our retail greenhouses in 2018, and we're now working with him again as he oversees the build of our new growing greenhouses. From start to finish, he has been incredibly communicative and transparent throughout the entire process. His knowledge of subcontractors in the Madison area - and the strong relationships he's built over the years - makes a tremendous difference. He has the right connections and knows how to keep every moving piece aligned and on schedule. Even when unexpected glitches have come up (as they always do in construction!), Eric remains optimistic, solutions-focused, and keeps the project moving forward with steady leadership. The drone photos captured throughout construction - and the beautiful video his wife Hannah created - were especially meaningful to us. This is a family business started by my grandparents and now continuing into future generations, so documenting this next chapter meant more than we can say. We truly value the partnership and would not hesitate to work with Elite Builders again. Highly recommend.

Exceptional Partner, Exceptional Results - Elite Builders Exceeded Every Expectation! Elite Builders weas an absolute cornerstone in bringing Saunaday to life. From the earliest project conversations and site visits through construction and occupancy, Eric consistently demonstrated how deeply he cared-not just about the project, but about our personal success as founders. Saunaday was a new and innovative concept for the Madison market, with unique and complex construction requirements that demanded creativity, foresight, and flexibility. Eric anticipated challenges before they surfaced, thoughtfully problem-solved alongside us, and brought steady leadership through every phase of the process. His ability to navigate complexity with calm, clarity, and confidence made an enormous difference. Elite Builders delivered an exceptional space on time and under budget, without ever compromising quality or intent. Eric's deep bench of trusted relationships with outstanding trades and partners was evident throughout the build-each contributor showed up aligned, accountable, and invested in doing the work right. What began as a professional partnership grew into something more meaningful. We didn't just gain a trusted general contractor-we built a long-term relationship and friendship with Eric and his family. That level of trust is rare in construction, and it speaks volumes about who he is and how Elite Builders operates. Without hesitation, we will partner with Eric and Elite Builders again for our next project. If you're looking for a general contractor who brings integrity, foresight, craftsmanship, and genuine care to the table, Elite Builders is it.

Behind every space we create is a builder who believes in the details as much as we do. We have been fortunate to work with a general contractor who has become far more than a project partner- he is an essential part of our creative process and our community. His attention to detail is extraordinary. From structural decisions to the smallest finish detail, nothing is overlooked. He approaches every project with the same care and precision as we do. What sets him apart isn't just craftsmanship, it's commitment. He is responsive at all hours, solution-oriented under pressure, and steady when timelines tighten. In the world of hospitality, where schedules are unforgiving and every day offline matters, that level of reliability is invaluable. He is also deeply collaborative. Some of our best ideas have started as conversations on a job site, sketches on scrap paper, last-minute layout shifts, material swaps, creative problem-solving in real time. He never approaches those moments with frustration. Instead, he listens, refines, and helps us determine whether an idea should evolve, pivot, or wait for another project. That kind of creative partnership is rare. From budgeting and value engineering to permitting, subcontractor coordination, and finish quality control, he operates with transparency and integrity. He understands both the financial realities of building and the emotional investment behind every space. He protects the vision while protecting the budget. Most importantly, he builds places that last. Our restaurants endure heavy daily use, high traffic, heat, moisture, constant movement and his work stands up beautifully over time. Quality behind the walls matters just as much as what guests see, and he builds with longevity in mind. We truly cannot imagine building our businesses without him. He has helped us shape not only our spaces, but the way those spaces feel- welcoming, intentional, and built to endure. He is part of our extended team, and we look forward to creating many more spaces together.
