Corporate Philosophy

C. Erickson and Sons, Inc., founded by Charles G. Erickson, Jr. in 1954, and continued under the family stewardship of Charles G. Erickson III (President) and Michael G. Erickson (Executive Vice
President) since 1986, maintains a corporate philosophy founded on integrity, relationships, and service.

Integrity

At C. Erickson and Sons, Inc., we believe in right and wrong, and are thus committed to honesty and fairness, striving to say what we mean and mean what we say. As teammates in the building process, we desire to be held accountable for our actions. We strive for reliability, avoiding as many "surprises" as possible in the design/construction process. By extending our role beyond basic business courtesies, we establish a core trust on which we build strong client relationships.

Relationships

We see our clients as teammates, and thus strive to establish strong communication and build a team with a shared focus. Relationships require keen listening skills, and at Erickson we listen to our clients, carefully assimilate their expressed requirements, and skillfully develop a focused Project Plan. We seek clients interested in obtaining as much value for the construction dollar as possible; clients who want to engage in a team approach to resolve the cost, schedule, quality, and logistical concerns associated with every construction project.

Service

In order to protect and improve our client's business, Erickson skillfully and courteously executes the Project Plan. We provide reliable predictive cost and scheduling projections, as well as a creative, diligent project approach which obtains the maximum value for our customer's construction dollar. We provide early advice on the probable cost of construction and scheduling, listen to concerns throughout the design process, and offer design advice in our efforts to control the cost and duration of the final product. C. Erickson and Sons, Inc. strives to exceed our client's expectations as the construction firm providing the best overall construction experience for our customers.

Over the past fifty years, C. Erickson and Sons, Inc. has earned a strong reputation for moral integrity, strong client relationships, and customer service; three traits which characterize our firm as a successful, Philadelphia-based general contracting company.
