THE TOP GENERAL CONTRACTOR IN DELMARVA
Delmarva Veteran Builders (DVB) is a fresh, gritty commercial construction firm igniting potential and doing epic things. Led by two owners, Navy Veteran Chris Eccleston and former architect Kathryn Ellis, DVB has become the contractor of choice on the Eastern Shore. In just over ten years, they have earned local and national accolades as the firm to watch. Recipients of the Pentagon's Freedom Award and the #HireVets Medallion Award, DVB empowers both veterans and civilians. From state and municipal developments to hotels and convenience stores, their impact is clear. Beyond delivering first-rate builds, DVB fosters a strong company culture, veteran spirit, community involvement, and even a children's book about construction saving the world. Their work stands out with signature WWII-style graphics and the battle cry—"Grit Leads to Greatness." More than builders, DVB is a movement, redefining leadership, innovation, and excellence while inspiring the next generation of builders.
Within a decade of inception, DVB has grown from a single employee to over 20 employees and produced over $175 million in revenue
