Built on
Ethos.
Driven by Yours.
We know how much you've invested to build your image. When you're ready to build something physical — we're here to make that process honest, smooth, and exactly right.
2020
The Name
Says It All.
Ethos Contracting Group, LLC was established in 2020 by Jacob B. Forrester, P.E., out of a clear need in the construction community — a firm where clients could count on honesty, transparency, and quality from day one through final walkthrough.
Ethos is not a slogan. It is the deeply held belief that your success is our success — that what we build for you reflects who we are. That belief was present at our founding, and it guides every project we take on.
Our team is comprised of certified and licensed professionals — including two licensed professional engineers — capable of managing every aspect of your project with the personalized attention it deserves.
What Drives
Everything We Do.
Mission
Ethos Contracting Group provides quality management and contracting services so that our clients' success becomes our success — and their satisfaction is a direct reflection of our professionalism.
Vision
To create opportunities for client success through experience and professionalism — helping usher in a new era of development, growth, and productivity for every organization we serve.
Values
These aren't words on a wall. They are the standard we hold on every project, every day — with every client, every conversation, every commitment.
What Sets
Us Apart.
Licensed Engineering In-House
Two licensed P.E.s on our leadership team means engineering expertise isn't an extra line item — it's built into how we work on every project.
Transparency at Every Step
We follow up. We call back. We answer honestly even when the answer is still being determined. Our clients notice — and they remember it.
On Schedule. On Budget.
We've delivered complex projects on time and under budget because thorough planning is part of our process — not an afterthought.
North Mississippi, Through and Through
Based in Starkville. We know this region, these communities, and what it takes to build something that lasts here.
What sets Ethos apart is their unwavering commitment to honesty and ethics. In all our business dealings, they have maintained the highest standards of integrity, fostering a relationship built on trust and mutual respect.— Thomas C. Stewart, AIA, NCARB · Architect, Owner
