Brubacher

What Brubacher does

Brubacher Excavating Inc., founded in 1971 and headquartered in Bowmansville, Pennsylvania, is a privately held, third-generation family-owned full-service site contractor serving commercial, industrial, municipal, residential, energy/civil/environmental, mining, data center, and warehouse & distribution clients across Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Delaware. The company operates a $50M industry-leading heavy-civil fleet — equipped with GPS machine control, telematics, vacuum excavation rigs capable of locating utilities up to 100 feet away and 10 feet deep, and certified HDPE pipe-fusion capabilities (½"–18") — and integrates earthwork, underground utility installation, asphalt paving/milling, land clearing, construction surveying, mining support, 24-hour emergency response, and turnkey lead service line replacement under a single-source delivery model.

Revenue is generated project-by-project through lump-sum, cost-plus, and unit-price contracts with commercial developers, public-sector buyers (PennDOT pre-qualified, PA COSTARS-approved with Contract #041-E23-032), and mining/quarry operators, with pricing customized to scope, complexity, and contract length. The go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting developers, municipalities, and government agencies across the Mid-Atlantic, supported by thought-leadership content (podcast, insight papers, newsletter, project case studies). Brubacher has roughly 251–500 employees, retains its acquired brands Abel Construction and Abel Recon (acquired May 2025), and is led by President Keith Brubacher with a Board of Directors that includes both family members and independent external directors.
