DAVIN STITGEN, PE, SE 

Co-Founder & Owner


Davin holds a Bachelor's Degree in Civil and Structural Engineering from the University of Wisconsin–Madison. While completing his degree, he worked as a Site Engineer for a major construction firm, contributing to several university projects and gaining hands-on experience in project execution and coordination.

After graduation, Davin joined a leading precast concrete manufacturer as a Structural Engineer, where he provided technical design on more than 440 projects—including residential buildings, mixed-use developments, educational facilities, industrial structures, parking decks, and AASHTO-standard bridges. He has also passed the advanced examination requirements set by the National Council of Examiners for Engineering and Surveying (NCEES), meeting the qualifications necessary for Professional Structural Engineer (SE) licensure.

Pursuing broader responsibilities, Davin transitioned into a Project Manager role, overseeing the construction of more than 40 structures with a combined annual value exceeding $10 million. In this role, he managed projects from early design through final occupancy, coordinating internal crews and specialty subcontractors to ensure each build was delivered on time, on budget, and to spec.

In addition to his structural expertise, Davin is a Certified Passive House Consultant (CPHC®), bringing advanced knowledge of high-performance, energy-efficient building design to his work. Driven by this passion, he founded Elevated Custom Construction with the goal of pushing the limits of quality while keeping projects financially viable.

Over the past nine years, he has refined a set of construction standards tailored to the unique needs of the greater Teton Region—creating durable, comfortable, and resource-conscious homes in one of the West’s most demanding environments.

Davin continues to bring this depth of experience and passion to every project—whether in the field or behind the desk—ensuring each client’s vision is realized with precision, care, and lasting value.
