What Public Agencies Need From a Site Contractor

Published by DiFabio Construction Company

Municipal road reconstruction with new curbs and sidewalks downtown

Much of DiFabio Construction Company's work is for public owners: municipalities, state agencies and federal clients, alongside heavy commercial and industrial companies. Public work has its own rhythm, and a contractor that understands it makes life easier for the people managing the project.

Work in public space

Public projects usually happen where people live and travel. Roads, sidewalks and utility corridors stay in use around the work. That means traffic control, safe pedestrian routes, keeping driveways and businesses accessible, and restoring surfaces promptly.

Following the specifications

Public projects are built to written specifications and plans. The agency's engineers and inspectors need the work done to those documents and need to see it done. Clear communication with inspectors and a crew that follows the plan keeps a project on track.

Coordination with other utilities and agencies

Streets carry lines owned by many companies. A water or sewer job might require coordination with gas, electric and telecom owners, the county and the town at once. Experience with water, sewer and utility work includes knowing how to work alongside all of them.

Several trades, one contractor

A typical municipal street job can include excavation, pipe work, new curbs and sidewalks, and surface restoration. Our masonry division handles concrete placement, curbing and walkways, so the job does not need to change hands between trades.

Ready when something fails

Public infrastructure fails on its own schedule. Agencies value a contractor that can respond at any hour. Our 24/7 emergency response is built for that.
