Very good company to work with and for. I did notice some bad reviews from angry people. For those, sometimes customer contracts affect how the work is completed (including night work that keeps you awake), sometimes request for a detour to make your life better are denied, a contractor in most cases can't just put in place a detour. If you have an issue with a flagger or personnel call the contractors office, many time they will not tolerate bad behavior.
Many people don't realize how much time is put into planning a project trying to minimize negative impact to the public. Try to remember construction project is just like your home project. A lot of planning, glad to get started, pain in the neck during the process, and happy to see it done. This never changes from job to job. It is my hope you take time to appreciate a road to drive on, that bridge you cross, and that building you work or live in.

Garbage Construction Outfit. Does not care about the citizens of the city they work in. Works on three converging roads at the same time, between the hours of 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. when everybody is trying to get to school and work, which also happens to be the only way into town from the south part of town. sets up ZERO detour routes. No construction business should be allowed to do business with the city unless they can work with the taxpayers in a meaningful way.

They have had the cross walk, school and fire station blocked multiple times so far on their project out here in Coburg Oregon. The biggest issue with the cross walk is they are blocking it during arrival too school and dismissal from school! Poor planning!
