CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT | DESIGN-BUILD | PROJECT DEVELOPMENT

Woodruff Construction is a 100% employee-owned general contractor which offers award-winning design-build, construction management, and project development services to clients across Iowa, with offices in Ames, Fort Dodge, Iowa City, Waterloo and Spencer. Our team not only strives to achieve our clients’ goals and visions, but to also provide them with an enjoyable building experience.

In 1956, Leonard Woodruff and Jack Evans founded Woodruff-Evans Construction, a general contracting firm that served Fort Dodge, Iowa and the surrounding communities. Since opening its doors, Woodruff has continued to grow as a result of its client relationships, skilled employees, safety culture, and best practices. Currently Woodruff has five office locations spread across Iowa to best serve our clients.

We still embrace Leonard’s entrepreneurial spirit that founded Woodruff over six decades ago. 2021 marks sixty-five years of leadership through two generations of the Woodruff family, and company ownership is now shared by all our employee-owners. Woodruff Construction’s history is the groundwork that continues to underline our progressive culture.
