The 3 biggest problems you'll have with most excavation contractors...
And how Rickabaugh Construction solves them all.

BACK CHARGES

The excavation scope of any project can have many "unknowns" and therefore is known for change orders and back charges to the client.

Solution

Rickabaugh Construction prides itself on value engineering and helping the client head off potential costly changes by providing thorough plan review upfront. Rickabaugh Construction is also very familiar with all the local jurisdictional requirements, different types of soil and rock and utility requirements, many times not accurately shown on the plans. By getting involved early and putting our extensive experience to work, Rickabaugh Construction can drastically reduce unforeseen project costs for their client.

Disorganized and Messy Sites

Heavy civil excavation of any project involves massive disturbance to the earth. From mass grading, blasting and crushing to utility installation and final grading, there is much that goes on during the early phases of any project. These activities are notoriously messy and many sites are left with piles of dirt scattered across the site and open holes that pose a safety risk if someone were to fall in after hours.

Solution

From clean, well-maintained equipment to meticulously organized job sites, Rickabaugh Construction provides organization and cleanliness throughout the excavation process. This assures the client the site is safe and their investment is protected. Clean sites are also better for marketing and showing to prospective buyers. Cleanliness instills confidence.

Poor Communication and Being the Last to Know

Nothing is more frustrating for a client than being the last to know or being in the dark about problems or challenges on their project. Frustration and irritation also creep in when the contractor seemingly is just "doing his own thing".

Solution

Rickabaugh Construction's core value of Team Work is at the heart of every project. We seek to keep the client up to date and build trusting relationships with the client's team. This causes the client and contractor to leverage each other's strengths and work toward the same goal of completing the project, on time and on budget.

what our clients are saying
about our solutions

  • I’ve seen what happens when a construction company breaks ground without having done their homework – lots of changes and extra expenses that weren’t in the original bid, but I still have to pay. Rickabaugh Construction digs deep in their prep work. They use their extensive local experience, background knowledge, and contacts to make sure that the bid they present is what they stick to. No company can promise zero change orders, but Rickabaugh Construction does everything they can to keep them to a bare minimum. They even absorbed the cost of several of the changes that needed to happen, without nickel and diming us every time something came up.

  • Rickabaugh Construction did an amazing job of keeping their site clean and organized – and it wasn’t just me who recognized it. Even when things were busy, they were so well- managed that I was able to see exactly what was going on with the project, which gave me a much greater sense of control and trust that they were doing things right.

  • My team has worked with heavy civil construction contractors in the past who have made our job more difficult by not being open to questions and feedback. Our experience with Rickabaugh Construction has been totally different. Everyone my staff worked with was open to questions and concerns - they really lived out their core value of teamwork by soliciting input for key decisions and keeping us in the loop as to what was going on.
