Eaton Construction

Eaton Construction is a Knoxville-based commercial general contractor that takes on complex, goal-driven projects. Its core work is ground-up multifamily construction, including apartments, townhome subdivisions, student housing and senior living, along with hospitality renovation and development for occupied properties. The company also has a track record in specialty retail, restaurant, and public and municipal work, and is building out industrial and data center projects.

Eaton prefers design-build, where one team handles design, pricing and construction from concept through completion, though it also offers construction management and lump-sum general contracting. Owners can bring the company in during pre-construction for budgeting, scheduling and value engineering. The headquarters is in Knoxville, and the firm is currently licensed in Tennessee, South Carolina, Georgia and Louisiana, with licensing in progress in several other states.
