Our Story

Building the Legacy of Tomorrow

From our humble beginnings as a local paving contractor to an international heavy civil powerhouse, we have always built on a foundation of integrity, grit, and precision.

60+

Years of Excellence

A foundation poured by hard work.

Founded by brothers James and Arthur Vance in 1964, our company started with a single backhoe and a commitment to doing the job right the first time. Over the decades, we expanded our fleet, our expertise, and our geographic reach.

Today, we are proud to be a third-generation, family-owned enterprise. We have laid the foundations for major sporting arenas, erected the steel for skyline-defining high-rises, and constructed critical infrastructure that millions rely on daily.

While the technology has evolved from paper blueprints to digital twins, our core ethos remains exactly the same: build it safe, build it strong, and build it to last.
