Adelbert “Chip” Marous, CEO and President of Marous Brothers Construction, has built an empire from the ground up. Founded in 1980 with his brother Scott, Chip turned a small carpentry business into a construction powerhouse. “We had a passion for hard work and dedication and put the pedal to the metal,” recalls Chip.
The Early Years
Raised by two dedicated and hardworking parents, Chip and Scott inherited a strong work ethic. In 1980, they were doing small home renovations and carpentry projects, but by 1983, they were successfully competing for multimillion-dollar, out-of-town projects. They got their big break when they met industry leader Tony Ranallo.
“We started to work together when Chip and Scott were in the field hanging doors,” says Ranallo, the firm’s first commercial client. “They’ve come a long way because they’ve done the work themselves. They’re hands-on people, giving them the control that makes them good at what they do.”
Today, Marous Brothers Construction has surpassed $3 billion in revenue and generates $300 million annually. The firm has completed work in 14 states, with 90% of its projects coming from repeat clients thanks to its exceptional customer service and craftsmanship. The six service groups include the Multi-Family Housing Group, Design/Build Group, Construction Management Group, Special Projects Group, and the two self-performing groups: the Carpentry and Interior Finishes Group and the Site Group.
Innovative, Value-Instilled Processes
Under Chip’s leadership, numerous internal processes have been implemented to streamline operations and maintain competitive advantage. The Marous University program offers in-house training to ensure that all employees are equipped with the latest skills and knowledge. Additionally, the company’s diversified purchasing program helps streamline on-site materials and reduces costs by eliminating third-party markup fees. This progressive thinking keeps the company ahead of industry trends.
The company’s portfolio includes high-profile projects like The Westin Book Cadillac Detroit, Hotel Cleveland, and the Penske Automotive Group Porsche dealership. The team also participates in philanthropic endeavors, including a one-week house build for Extreme Makeover: Home Edition.
Chip attributes their success to their ability to solve problems and think ahead. “We consider ourselves true builders since we’ve done the work ourselves and know how a project develops,” he says. This hands-on experience has been crucial in navigating the challenges they’ve faced.
The family motto, instilled by their father, “do it right or don’t do it at all,” has guided the company’s philosophy. “Doing things right has resulted in an exceptional group of employees, some of whom have worked with us for 25 to over 30 years,” says Chip. This commitment to quality and integrity is why 90% of the firm’s work is for repeat clients.
