Excavation for GCs who can't afford surprises.

General contractors need a site work sub who shows up, communicates, and finishes. RJL Contracting has built a reputation in Western Massachusetts as the crew that delivers on commercial jobs, from retail pad prep to multi-unit foundation excavation.

We coordinate directly with your project schedule, pull our own permits where applicable, and have the equipment and capacity to handle tight urban lots and wide open rural sites alike. Jake is on every job. If there's a problem, you hear about it from him, not a foreman you've never met.

We've worked as the site work sub on commercial jobs across Hampshire and Hampden counties, including retail pads, multi-family foundations, warehouse prep, and mixed-use site development.
