About Us

Brother and sister team Allison and Neill are partners in Ainslie-Davis Construction as a family-oriented business with deep roots, long-term employees, and strong community relationships. They bring complimentary strengths and a balanced perspective to every project.

Allison Ainslie is the administrative construction manager. She holds a degree in Construction Management from the University of Washington and has spent more than 20 years in the industry in both residential and commercial construction. As the administrative construction manager, Allison oversees estimates, bid proposals, cost control and other client services. Her goal is to assist the clients and project managers in all aspects of the construction process and help to ensure the project comes in on time and on budget. She asks the important questions that will help clients make budget decisions and keeps clients informed of the business and financial implications throughout the course of the project.

Neill Ainslie is the senior project manager. He has spent more than 30 years in the construction industry, building high-end custom homes, speculative homes, and remodeling houses. He has hands on experience through all phases of the construction process, starting in childhood by learning from his uncle and father, who were both builders. He augments his hand on experience with a degree in Construction Management from the University of Washington. As the senior project manager, his job is to oversee all active projects. He is acting liaison between architects, homeowners, and project superintendents. He also monitors quality control of company crews and the select group of Ainslie-Davis approved subcontractors.

Our Projects

We collaborate with architects and homeowners to create quality construction that meets the intended budget. Engage us early in the design phase for cost control and budgeting purposes, or request cost-of-construction quotes at the completion of construction drawings. During the construction phase, we will handle all levels of administration and construction.

We emphasize a balance between cost effectiveness and quality throughout our projects.

We value the relationships with crew, subcontractors, and clients, and understand that reputation is earned. We strive to retain skilled and committed employees. As a result, we use our own crews for many phases of the construction process which assures the finest quality. We also work with a select group of subcontractors who realize the same quality standards as our own, helping assure their clients’ confidence in those services. In every case, we have completed jobs on time, on budget, and to our clients’ absolute satisfaction. We can help make building or remodeling your home a pleasant and rewarding experience. 

Company History

Allison and Neill Ainslie continue a long family tradition in the building industry.

The legacy of six generations of excellence in building trades began with David Ainslie, who settled in Lewis County in 1870. David built The Ainslie Lumber Company Mills and the little town that sprang up from this industry formed Ainslie, Washington. As was often the way of pioneer settlements in Washington Territory, the town disappeared in the late 1800s after the mill burned down. However, David’s son, Walter Ainslie, eventually returned to Lewis County to work in a lumber mill after building a homestead in Saskatchewan. Walter’s son, Harold Gordon Ainslie built houses in Seattle, mostly in the Leschi, Queen Anne, and Magnolia neighborhoods, after he retired from his career as a purchasing agent for a major steel manufacturer. Harold’s son, Hugh Walter Ainslie, followed in his father’s footsteps by building numerous houses and apartment buildings and multi-family projects in Seattle over the past 60 years.

Allison and Neill inherited the Ainslie passion about the construction trades. They carry on the family tradition because it’s in their blood. They formed Ainslie-Davis construction as equal partners in 1993, with the goal of creating beautiful buildings and they continue to transform the Puget Sound area with quality construction projects and a well-earned reputation for integrity in their business as well as their craft.

Under their leadership, Ainslie-Davis is a turn-key construction company with more than 100 projects, including both remodels and new construction.
