our history

Founded with a Vision

Bellew & Associates was founded by a single entrepreneur – Steve Bellew – with a lengthy background in construction management. Steve had ownership in a very successful general contracting firm in Las Vegas for 20 years. Steve moved back to his native Arizona in 2001 and established Bellew & Associates Construction Company to carry on the excellent work and reputation he established in Nevada.

Continuing to Grow

Operating out of a modest office, Steve Bellew and his company started with just a handful of employees. The early focus was on residential and small-scale commercial projects, where the company’s founder built a reputation for reliability, craftsmanship, and attention to detail.

Reputation for Reliability

Bellew & Associates has built a solid reputation. Steve Bellew has worked on and built larger commercial projects in multiple states, including California, Washington, and Nevada. Steve’s companies began to diversify their offerings, expanding into public sector and light industrial construction. This marked a key turning point, as these industries required not just building skills but a deep understanding of complex regulations, larger budgets, and long-term project management.

Strategic Partnerships

One of the key drivers of this growth was the establishment of strategic partnerships with architects, designers, and developers who recognized Steve Bellew’s ability to manage complex, high-budget projects. These collaborations allowed Bellew & Associates to become involved in high-profile projects from the initial design stages, fostering long-term relationships with top-tier clients.

Divide and Conquer

In 2023, Bellew & Associates divided to better serve our clients, becoming Bellew Builders and Elite Fine Home Builders. Both firms now invest in resources and specialists specific to their respective commercial and residential focuses, which allows us as a brand family to continue providing personalized customer service to all clients we work with.
Steve Bellew’s story - from small beginnings in a single office to handling multi-million-dollar projects - is one of hard work, strategic growth, and a relentless focus on excellence.
