On the surface, Rachel Contracting is a heavy civil construction company specializing in earthwork, demolition, utilities, and aggregate resources. Dig a little deeper though, and you’ll find a group of down-to-earth people who thrive on making a difference for our partners, clients, and each other.
We work throughout the Midwest and beyond, bringing a personal touch and a “Minnesota nice” attitude to both public and private construction projects. With 19 years in business, our reputation is built on workplace safety, and people you can count on to deliver savings and value throughout the project lifecycle.
You might call it value engineering. We just call it doing the right thing.
In 2006, Don Rachel set out to provide Minnesota with next-level civil construction value and services.
Knowing success can’t be achieved alone, Don assembled a team of partners who shared his values of integrity, experience, creativity, and safety. Together with industry leaders such as Jerry Rachel, Mark Kraemer, and Matt Coz, the Rachel team took shape.
Fast forward 18 years, and much has changed. The sectors we serve, the experience we’ve amassed, and the technologies we employ have advanced by leaps and bounds. From our regional reach to local community involvement, the Rachel Team has grown into a $180+ million a year multi-discipline construction company with over 1,500 successful projects throughout the Midwest.
Yet for all that’s evolved, the most important parts of Don’s vision remain in place: the people you trust, the value we deliver, and an unwavering commitment to safety.
Get a budget, bid, or build with a “Minnesota Nice” attitude.
