 Wright Brothers, The Building Company, Eagle LLC is a commercial construction company providing services including construction management, design/build, and design assistance. 

The contracting company has been working in Eagle since 1986. A few years ago, a new ownership group took over and have seen their company’s annual revenue increase. One area that has really helped with growth is repeat clients.

“Our biggest compliment is when we can complete a job and they’re like, ‘Hey, we have another one coming up behind it.’ And understanding the business market more and that capacity as a contractor to where we’re not just chasing local work here, we can do repeat clients all over the western United States,” CEO and Partner Zach Higgins said. “… Just all that growth, thankfully happened in a very short period of time, but the mindset of the company was of that we were capable.”
