Early 1900s
Sevenson's roots date back to 1917. In that year, Albert Elia, a Niagara Falls, New York architect, began a general construction business. In 1947, Elia's four sons joined the business and incorporated it as the Albert Elia Building Company, Inc*. Although the company initially specialized in residential building construction to meet the post-World War II housing shortage, in the early 1950's, the company expanded into industrial, institutional and heavy civil construction work. In the 1970's the third generation of the Elia family joined the company and in 1982 acquired the business from their fathers and renamed it Sevenson Construction Corp.

Love Canal (1978) to Present
The company's initiation into environmental remediation work occurred in 1979. In that year the Albert Elia Building Co., Inc. was selected as the principal contractor for cleanup work at the Love Canal Superfund Site in Niagara Falls, New York. The company's success at the Love Canal project led to other cleanup projects.
