Davenport Brothers Construction was co-founded by Harlan, Steve, and Mark Davenport in 1979 and has operated as a family-owned company ever since. From the beginning, the company has specialized as a true construction manager and general contractor, serving Metro Detroit and communities throughout Southeast Michigan.
The company developed a skilled self-perform workforce that became widely recognized for its construction expertise. That capability, paired with experienced project leadership, established Davenport Brothers as a trusted general contractor for both new facilities and renovations.
Davenport Brothers has built an outstanding reputation across many types of construction, with particular strength in the commercial market. The company has focused on meeting the needs created by Southeast Michigan’s growth while choosing to remain deeply rooted in the major institutions and communities of the region.
Our goal has always been to be the best in class for the clients and communities we serve.
Decades in construction provide a clear perspective on where the company has been and where it intends to go. Through changing economic conditions, Davenport Brothers has remained committed to quality construction, practical service, and the mutual interests of its clients—an approach that has produced lasting relationships and an exceptional level of repeat business.
Our project management and field supervisory teams are career professionals with deep industry experience. Their knowledge, continuity, and commitment to the work are central to the confidence our clients place in Davenport Brothers.
