About Rickabaugh Construction

How Rickabaugh Construction is Different:

With over 20 Years experience in Heavy Civil Construction, we could give you platitudes about how we do projects right, how we finish on time and on budget, or how we have years of experience as general civil contractors focusing on large-scale projects in Deschutes County. But that wouldn’t really be what makes us different. After all, everyone says that. And while we could say that we really mean it, we are sure that everyone else would say they do, too.

So what sets Rickabaugh Construction apart from other construction companies? Let’s start with how we address three common pain points in the civil construction industry

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.

Core Purpose:

“Building Great People”
Great Projects + Great Teams + Great Relationships = Great Value

The thing is, we don’t set out to solve these problems simply in order to rise above our competition. The way we do business is a natural outflowing of our Core Values, at the heart of which is our main purpose as a heavy civil construction company: building great people.

People define our business from the ground up, as demonstrated in our core values. It’s something you can see from the way that we treat our clients to the character of people that we hire to work with us.

This is ultimately what makes working with Rickabaugh Construction distinctive as a construction contractor. The way that we do the things which come along with our trade with excellence – which you can read more about below – is an expression of our values. We trust you will be able to see that from our first communication.
