Why We Chose to Be a Butler Builder®
At Elter Construction, becoming a Butler Builder® was a deliberate decision rooted in who we are as a company and the kind of value we want to deliver to our clients. We chose Butler because we believe you deserve more than a standard building package. You deserve quality, performance, and long-term value from a system backed by a company that shares our standards.
Not every builder can become a Butler Builder®. Butler Manufacturing™ is selective about who represents its brand, and that exclusivity matters. Unlike many competitors who offer multiple building lines or treat pre-engineered metal buildings as interchangeable products, we chose to align ourselves with a company we believe stands apart. The more we got to know Butler, the more we saw a partner that understood its value, invested in its builders, and shared our belief that service, support, and performance matter over the life of a building.
For us, this partnership is about more than a building system. It is about offering you a proven product backed by a company known for innovation, accessibility, and support—especially in critical areas like roof performance, durability, and long-term building value. Butler®’s approach mirrors our own: deliver more than the minimum, stand behind the work, and create lasting results for each client.
Creating a Legacy

For nearly 120 years, the Butler® name has been synonymous with innovation. Butler Manufacturing pioneered the metal building industry in 1901 by challenging the status quo and continues to deliver innovative and versatile solutions to builders and building owners worldwide.
