E.W. Howell Co., Inc., is a Long Island-based midsized general construction and construction management company, mostly doing work in the New York metropolitan and Long Island markets.

Howell also builds schools as well as projects for institutions of higher learning such as Columbia University, New York Medical College, and Long Island University. Another part of the firm's portfolio is assisted living facilities.

The firm also does interior work, ranging from corporate offices to country clubs. A longtime family-run business, E.W.
