Spring House-based Ernst Brothers Builders, a niche construction firm, has hired Joe Kelly as construction estimator and project manager to assist the company as it continues its expansion into more complex projects throughout the Delaware Valley.

Kelly comes to Ernst after 18 years with a high-end custom builder in Bucks County, where he worked his way up the ladder from staff carpenter. While there, he served as field manager for projects that exceeded $7million, prepared estimates for projects from $10K to $6million and managed a residential multi-home sitework development.

“We hit the jackpot with Joe Kelly,” says Jake Taylor, Ernst Brothers managing partner. “His focus on clear communication, well-defined expectations and creating efficient processes enhances his competence as a construction estimator and complements Ernst Brothers’ conviction that details matter.”

Kelly lives in Horsham.
