About Us

Building Dreams with Purpose and Precision

At ORC Construction, we’re more than builders—we’re your neighbors. As a family-owned business rooted in Ellington, Connecticut, we specialize in delivering construction solutions tailored to the unique challenges of the New England climate and the specific building codes of our state.

Founded by Phil Oswald in 2011, ORC Construction was born from a passion for transforming homes and a commitment to craftsmanship. Phil, a proud husband and father of three, leads our team with over 15 years of experience working alongside inspectors, engineers, and architects across Connecticut.
