Excavation Services
Our excavation team delivers comprehensive site preparation using Trimble 2D/3D guided equipment for precise grading, foundation digging, and utility integration. We manage all phases including 2D initial grading, subsurface excavation, and finished landscaping prep while maintaining DOT-compliant hauling standards. Commercial clients benefit from our certified utility connection capabilities, eliminating subcontractor requirements for water/septic hookups.
Commercial Concrete Slabs
Specializing in large-scale commercial slabs using Somero Laser Screed technology, we achieve 1/8-inch accuracy for warehouse floors, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities. Our ACI-certified crew prepares substrates, pours, and finishes industrial flooring with rapid turnaround times while maintaining structural integrity. Clients receive precise elevation control and flatness tolerances that exceed industry standards for heavy equipment operations.
Residential Foundations
We construct durable residential foundations using Simons Wall Form systems that produce glass-smooth finishes. Our OSHA-compliant crews execute footing pours, wall construction, and waterproofing while integrating Trimble site modeling for perfect structural alignment. Homeowners receive accurate foundation layouts optimized for Montana's terrain, with adjustments implemented during planning to maximize property utilization.
Trimble Technology Applications
As Missoula's only Trimble-equipped contractor, we offer satellite-accurate project layout for excavation and concrete work. Our robotic total stations create digital site models that enable real-time adjustments during planning, reducing change orders by 40%. Clients benefit from faster transitions between excavation and pouring phases while maintaining 1/8-inch tolerances across entire projects.
Driveway & Sidewalk Installation
Our certified technicians handle decorative and functional concrete installations for residential driveways, patios, and commercial walkways. Utilizing Laser Screed technology, we guarantee flat, durable surfaces with 1/8-inch accuracy. Projects include custom stamped patterns, color integration, and ADA-compliant accessibility features while maintaining rapid two-day installation timelines for standard driveways.
