A key differentiator when choosing CEI our capability to self-perform on average of 65-85% of project scope. This ensures our team effectively maintains project schedules and budget control. Our expert services include:
"I just wanted to send out a quick note to all of you who have participated in the completion and implementation of the Still water crossing project. On behalf of the U.S. Forest Service, the Sulphur Ranger District, and the public that we manage these public lands on behalf of – Thank You!!!
This was truly a remarkable process to be a part of and watch unfold, and this would not have occurred without our partnership and relationship with Northern Water. ...To all of the contractors that were on-site and worked with us, participated in calls and were out there on a daily basis - thank you so much for your professionalism, attention to detail and efforts. Nate Murphy, please pass on our gratitude to the CEI crew and to all of your folks involved."
"The success of the Westminster Station Nature Play Park was based upon the team atmosphere created by CEI with the City staff emphasizing communication, trust, and quality."
"We recently finished up E. Flatiron Crossing Drive and wanted to send a quick email letting you know that CEI did an excellent job on this reconstruction project. Project finished ahead of schedule and under budget - Broomfield couldn't ask for anything more.
Nate, Jose and the entire CEI team were an absolute pleasure to work with. The team was organized and executed the work in an extremely efficient manner. The attention to detail and the pride that the team took in the work was a joy to witness. Broomfield introduced a few 'wrinkles' during construction, but Nate, Jose and the crews onsite were all extremely patient, helpful and responsive as we worked through these wrinkles. You probably know this already, but you have a great team!
Kudos to all for a job well done. I look forward to working with Concrete Express again in the future."
"The CEI and Muller Engineering group worked flawlessly together with the City as a team, to successfully meet the unique challenges presented by this project including maintenance of traffic while providing business and pedestrian access, steep slopes/rocky mountain terrain, construction of mechanically stabilized earth retaining walls in an environmentally sensitive area, and demanding storm-water management along the Animas River. I would recommend Concrete Express for similar comprehensive, urban Public Works projects."
"Concrete Express has performed several projects for the City of Lone Tree. They are consistently one of the best performing contractors who has worked for the City. In particular, in 2006 they completed the widening of both sides of Yosemite Street from C-470 to County Line Road. The project was a challenging one with time constraints related to the holiday season at Park Meadows Mall, which is adjacent to the project. In spite of all of this, Concrete Express completed the project on time and on budget."
"Concrete Express, Inc. executed an excellent project plan in cooperation with the City of Aurora representatives to complete the Fitzsimmons Parkway and its infrastructure in strict compliance with schedule and budget. The open communication and positive corporate culture produced an excellent Project for the Owner. The Project received the 2006 American Public Works Association Colorado Chapter Award and the top McGraw-Hill Colorado Construction Gold Hard Hat Award for 2006 in the Heavy/Highway Category."
"Over the past two years I have worked with Concrete Express on the Stapleton Redevelopment project. This year, our project was recognized by the Associated Building Contractors of Colorado as Infrastructure Project of the Year. While we take great pride in our project accomplishments, we owe our success to the exceptional partners we choose and the talents they bring to this complex project. Concrete Express has proven to be a truly exceptional partner providing expertise in constructing roadways under tight time and budget constraints while meeting the rigorous quality standards demanded by the project."
