Charleston is known for what people can see: neighborhoods, commercial centers, roads, industrial facilities and some of the Lowcountry’s most recognizable developments. Many of these landmarks have been shaped by O.L. Thompson Construction, a company with a significant local impact. Long before those finished projects take shape, however, someone has to prepare the ground beneath […]
Grant Excavation LLC: Building From the Ground Up in Salt Lake City
Construction companies are often defined by a single trade. An excavator moves earth. A concrete contractor pours concrete. A general contractor coordinates construction.

Charles H. Hamilton Company: Six Decades of Site Development in Cincinnati
Construction equipment has changed dramatically since 1964. Machines have become more powerful. Survey information has moved onto screens. GPS can guide equipment across a jobsite.

A contractor still has to understand the ground. Crews […]
Jetton’s Inc.: Where Precision Grading Meets Heavy Site Development
A construction site does not begin as a finished set of elevations. It begins with existing ground. Slopes, vegetation, soil, drainage patterns, access limitations, and underground infrastructure all have to be addressed before buildings, roads, parking areas, and other improvements can take shape.

SiteOne Landscape Supply: Behind the Landscapes Contractors Build
When people look at a finished landscape, they usually notice the result. They see the green lawn, irrigation system, retaining wall, outdoor lighting, healthy plants, or finished hardscape. What they do not always see is the supply network behind it. Before a contractor can install anything, the right products and materials have to be available. Irrigation […]
Fastest Labs of Springfield, VA: Testing That Helps Keep Businesses Moving
Construction companies spend plenty of time thinking about equipment, schedules, materials, employees, trucks, and customers.

Drug and alcohol testing, DOT testing, employee screening, and workplace testing programs may never appear in photographs of a completed project. Yet for employers responsible for […]
Capitol Builders Group: Building and Remodeling Across the Washington, DC Region
Construction is rarely about one trade. A successful remodeling or improvement project can involve demolition, framing, electrical work, plumbing, flooring, finishes, exterior improvements, and dozens of decisions along the way. For property owners, coordinating all those moving parts can become as important as the construction itself. That is where an experienced general contractor can bring […]
Stone vs. Crusher Run: Which Is Better for Your Project?
Choosing the right aggregate material can have a major impact on the stability, drainage, and long-term performance of a construction or landscaping project. Two materials that are commonly compared are #57 stone and crusher run.
