An early memory of Cedric C. Elias, founder of Elias Construction, was of Welsh farmers working the local area beet fields with horse-drawn ploughs. Following graduation from high school in Pomona, Mr. Elias recognized the opportunities awaiting someone who could provide professional, economical construction services to this exploding market. In 1945 he started a small construction company that became the foundation for establishing himself as a reputable contractor who did quality work.
By 1958 he was beginning to attract larger contracts, one of which was with the city of Pomona to grade and landscape areas in the northern part of the city for $7,000, a substantial sum in those days. Business was flourishing, and Elias continued as an independent contractor doing work for cities and private customers under the name of Cedric C. Elias Paving Company.
In 1988 the business was taken over by sons Greg and Tony, and they continue to this day, providing professional & economical asphalt paving and concrete work for Southern California.
