The Evans Southwest Story
The Evans construction legacy began in 1969 with Chris G. Evans Inc. The company grew quickly, acquiring projects across the board, including multiple fire stations, schools, HUD sponsored housing, a landmark high-rise in Phoenix, and the award-winning Arizona State University Aquatic Complex.
In 1989, Chris G. Evans Inc. became Evans Southwest. The philosophies that propelled the company to success early on continue to guide how we operate today. Developing one-on-one relationships with employees, partners, and customers energize us as much as watching a project break ground. Whether a school or a low-income housing project, Evans Southwest brings robust bonding capacity, a promise of excellence, and an authentic desire to make every customer happy.
CHRIS EVANS - President
After winning the local science fair as a high school sophomore with a realistic model of a Portland cement manufacturing plant, Chris knew he wanted to continue in the construction world. He graduated from Arizona State University, with a Civil Engineering degree—and a National NCAA gymnastics championship—and soon formed Chris G. Evans Inc. which years later would become Evans Southwest.
The passion Chris has for construction carries into all facets of his life. He was the founding director of the Scottsdale Commercial Bank (later Thunderbird Bank). His gymnastics accomplishments landed him in the Arizona State University Sports Hall of Fame, and these days he remains an avid gym-goer. He’s also an instrument-rated pilot who brings an aviator’s level-headedness to his business. The question he continuously asks of himself and his clients is, “Is it fair and reasonable.” After 50 years, it still remains both a promise and a benchmark that informs every relationship and project.
