Meet The Founder
Erin W. McConnell
With over 25 years of hands-on construction experience as a general contractor and owner/partner of several contracting companies, Erin launched EWM Building Solutions in response to disruptions in the supply chain during COVID-19. By 2023, the EWM Building Solutions business model was 100% focused on the procurement and logistics of wholesale construction materials domestically and abroad.
A leader in her industry, Erin was installed as the first female President of Tidewater Builders' Association in its 63 year history. Since that time in 2016 she was inducted into the Builders Hall of Fame and is now a lifetime board member of Coastal VA Building Industry Association. She has served as the Municipal Affairs Chairperson for the City of Chesapeake on behalf of the building/development industry for more than 12 years. Prior to her service on the Board in Coastal VA, she also served on the Board of Directors of the Homebuilders Association of Winston-Salem from 2005-2007.
Licensed in VA and NC as a residential general contractor, Erin’s unique understanding of plans, specs, and field operations in the building and development industry equip EWM Building Solutions to be more than just a vendor but an integral part of any production team.
