What We Do

Self-performed sitework, start to finish.

Most sites pass through a half-dozen subcontractors. First Water self-performs five trades on one schedule, so owners and general contractors get a single accountable partner from the first pass of the grader to the final lift of asphalt.

Overview

When one company carries the job from raw dirt to the finished surface, every phase hands off inside our own schedule instead of across a contract.

No gaps between subs, no quality standard that changes at each handoff, and no finger-pointing when something does not line up. The grade our crews cut is the grade the pipe ties into, the subgrade we stabilize is the section we pave, and the hot mix comes from our affiliated plant. Select a trade below to see what our crews take on.
