Commercial
Commercial general contracting
Wildhorse Construction & Concrete builds commercial across the Flathead Valley: tenant improvements, restaurant and retail work, shops, pads and the foundations under them. And because Heath self-performs the concrete, the part of the job that decides the schedule is not somebody else's subcontract.
What we build
Tenant improvements
Interior fit outs on an occupied building or an empty shell. Demolition, framing, MEP coordination, polished or sealed floors, and a schedule that respects the fact somebody else is trading next door.
Restaurant and hospitality
Front of house that has to look right and back of house that has to pass inspection. Harborside in Lakeside is the one people know.
Shops, warehouses and pads
Slab on grade, thickened edges, dock pours and aprons wide enough to turn a truck on. Steel building foundations set to the fabricator's anchor drawings, not to the nearest inch.
Foundations and structural concrete
Footings, formed stem walls, grade beams, frost walls and pile caps. Rebar to the drawings, inspected before anybody pours.
Site work and utilities trenching
Cut, fill, base in lifts, compaction tested where the job warrants it, and drainage that moves water away from the building rather than into it.
Why a smaller GC, on a commercial job
The concrete is not subbed out
Most GCs hire the concrete. He pours it. That is one fewer company between you and the part of the building everything else sits on, and one fewer person to blame when a date moves.
One number, start to finish
The man who priced it is the man on site. You are not routed through a project coordinator who was not at the walk.
Paper that keeps up with the job
Submittals, RFIs, certified payroll where the work is public, pay applications and closeout. Commercial work is mostly sequencing and paper, and the paper is where small contractors lose commercial jobs.
He will tell you no
If a schedule cannot be built, you will hear it at the estimate rather than in month three.
