In 2025, we are proud to mark an incredible milestone - 80 years of innovation, craftsmanship, and dedication at Millie and Severson, General Contractors! Founded in 1945 by Noble Millie and Charles Severson, our journey began just after World War II. Both USC engineering graduates, they played a key role in building Liberty Ships in Los Angeles before transitioning into the rapidly growing tilt-up concrete industrial sector. In 1975, Charles Severson’s son Jonathan joined the firm, carrying on the legacy after Mr. Millie’s passing. Over the years since, we’ve expanded our expertise to include commercial office buildings, healthcare facilities, housing and hospitality, and cultural and educational institutions. In 2022, Jonathan stepped down as president, passing the torch to his son, Ben Severson, who now leads the company into its next chapter. We have completed over 4,000 projects - each one reflecting the dedication of our team, the trust of our clients, and the vision of our founders. Thank you to our employees, clients, and partners for being part of this incredible journey. We look forward to the next 80 years of building a better future together! #buildingahigherstandard
