Estimating Central Oregon Heavy Civil Construction Projects

Pre-Project Planning

Through our decades of experience as a Central Oregon heavy civil construction company, we have developed excellent systems and the background knowledge to come up with complete and accurate project proposals. From simply analyzing what can be done with a piece of land, to coming up with a preliminary budget of what it would cost to build a new road, subdivision, or other public or private work on the land, to preparing a complete and competitive bid on the project, the team at Rickabaugh Construction can handle it.

Turnkey Site Development

Turnkey site development means that we not only do the work of physically building the project, but that our team offers value engineering, feasibility budgeting and cost analysis. Our team members work with our clients to ensure that the final product exceeds the clients expectations and that exceptional value is delivered.

Expert Mass Earthworks Contractor

Land Clearing & Demolition

Our team has the bulldozers, graders, loaders, excavators – you name it – to clear your site of the old to make way for the new. With our highly trained team – committed to safety and doing the job right – behind the wheel, any area will be ready for new construction in short order.

Mass Grading Contractor

After land clearing and demolition comes the grading of the earth to cut fill and grad the site. Our heavy equipment operators are some of the best at what they do, from the first pass through to the final sloping of the ground.

If large amounts of rock are to be removed, Rickabaugh Construction grading contractors have the resources to drill, blast, hammer and crush. To make our work more cost-effective and efficiently completed for our clients, our grading equipment uses TopCon GPS technology, which guarantees our work matches the plans for the site. As a Central Oregon grading contractors, you will find our work to be second to none.

Water System Development

Whether your project will require a water tower, water mains, or another potable water storage and delivery option, we will get the right kind of pipe into the ground where it’s needed.

Other Underground Utility Installation

Our experience doesn’t end at installing pipes for sewer, storm and water systems. We can also take care of large areas of underground conduit, or create the trenches for any kind of underground utilities you may need such as electrical, fiber optic, phone, and natural gas.

Engaged Heavy Civil Construction Project Management

Effective Timeline and Budget Management for Civil Construction Projects

One of the basic – but nevertheless vital – requirements for a heavy civil construction company is that the people managing a project have the relationships, authority, and expertise to keep it on-time and on-budget. This is exactly what you will find to be the case with Rickabaugh Construction’s project managers, who work closely with the people on the ground – and spend plenty of time out there themselves – to make sure that time and resources are stewarded well. As we have said above, one of the things we take pride in as a heavy construction contractor is keeping our change orders to a minimum, which means less headache for our workers and our clients, and more time spent admiring a job well done.

Full Construction Subcontractor Oversight

For those aspects of a job we need to contract out, we use subcontractors that we have an excellent relationship with and who we know share our values of service and building great people. Our project managers take the responsibility for every one of our subcontractors on-site, providing them with what they need to get their part of the project completed safely and accurately.

Clear Client Communication

Our civil construction project managers make a concerted effort – which many of our clients have noticed – to communicate regularly and frequently with our clients to keep them in the loop about their project. Not only that, we invite the collaboration and input of all our clients during the construction process.
