GC Service Brief
Street and sidewalk construction creates the transportation infrastructure that serves commercial developments and municipal jurisdictions. The work encompasses street paving, sidewalk installation, curb and gutter construction, ADA-compliant curb ramps, crosswalk markings, and pedestrian safety features. Proper construction requires understanding both structural pavement requirements and accessibility standards that govern pedestrian infrastructure.
Commercial development often includes private street construction within business parks, industrial subdivisions, and large retail developments. These streets must meet municipal standards for potential future dedication while serving the specific traffic demands of the development. Industrial streets may require heavier pavement sections to accommodate truck traffic. Office park streets may emphasize aesthetics and pedestrian amenities. We work with civil engineers to match street designs to actual use requirements.
Sidewalk construction must comply with ADA accessibility requirements throughout. Running slopes, cross slopes, surface materials, and connections to street crossings all have specific requirements. Curb ramps must include proper slopes, landing areas, and detectable warning surfaces. Changes in level must be properly addressed. We ensure all pedestrian infrastructure meets current federal accessibility standards.
Municipal infrastructure projects often require specialized coordination with utility companies, traffic management agencies, and public works departments. Work must be sequenced around existing utility locations. Traffic control plans must maintain safe access for vehicles and pedestrians during construction. Inspection requirements and documentation needs may differ from private development work. We have experience navigating municipal project requirements.
As a general contractor, we coordinate complete street and sidewalk scopes including grading, base preparation, paving, drainage, and finishing work under single contracts. This approach simplifies project management and provides clear accountability for infrastructure delivery.
