Ric-Man Construction

What Ric-Man Construction does

Ric-Man Construction Florida, Inc. is a private, family-owned heavy civil construction firm headquartered in Deerfield Beach, Florida, specializing in underground utility installation, marine construction, and trenchless infrastructure rehabilitation. The company was founded in 2003 by Daniel Mancini as the Florida arm of the broader Mancini Companies portfolio (parent: Mancini Holdings LLC, Sterling Heights, Michigan), and operates additional offices in Miami and Sun City Center. Its core services include pipeline construction (2-inch to 96-inch diameter in PVC, HDPE, PCCP, DIP, fiberglass, and steel), pump stations, heavy civil work (micro-tunnels, secant pile shafts, foundations), marine and subaqueous construction via an in-house dive team, trenchless rehabilitation (sliplining and cured-in-place pipe/CIPP lining), and emergency repair. It serves primarily Florida municipal water utilities, stormwater management agencies, and county/city governments under both traditional bid-build and collaborative delivery (CMAR, Design-Build, Progressive Design-Build) procurement models.

The business model is project-based, one-time contract revenue earned through competitive public bidding and negotiated collaborative delivery arrangements, with individual contracts ranging from $4.5M to over $62M. Recurring engagement is driven by long-tail, multi-phase municipal programs (e.g., the City of Hollywood water main replacement across five phases, the Miami Beach stormwater rise program, the St. Petersburg downtown watermain replacement). Differentiated, self-performed technical capabilities — micro-tunneling division, CIPP division, construction dive team, and large-diameter pipeline installation — combined with DBIA-certified managers and a heavy owned-equipment fleet, allow Ric-Man to compete for complex projects that many general contractors must subcontract out. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales into public-sector owners, supported by LinkedIn/Facebook/Instagram presence and industry events. The firm supplements construction revenue with equipment sales/lease and, via affiliated Mancini Development, industrial and commercial real estate development in Florida and Michigan.

Revenue is lumpy and backlog-dependent; specific revenue figures are not publicly disclosed. With 101–250 employees and a documented book of multi-million-dollar municipal projects across Florida's Southeast and Central regions, the firm operates as a mid-market heavy civil specialist. Ownership remains concentrated in the Mancini family, with Eddie Mancini as Managing Member of the parent holding company and Daniel Mancini as President of the operating Florida entity.

Broad incumbents

• MasTec, Inc. Large publicly traded infrastructure construction firm operating across power, communications, pipeline, and clean energy. Overlaps with Ric-Man on water/sewer pipeline and utility infrastructure but at far greater scale and with much broader end-market exposure.
• Cianbro Corporation: Large diversified heavy civil, marine, and industrial contractor with regional operating model. Comparable in marine/heavy civil capability, scale of self-perform operations, and Michael Fischer's previous P&L leadership history ($20M to $70M regional scale-up).
• Granite Construction: Large publicly traded heavy civil contractor with significant water resources and underground utility construction practice. Comparable along heavy civil pipeline and water infrastructure delivery but operates at materially larger scale across multiple regions.
• Balfour Beatty Infrastructure: Major international infrastructure group whose Fru-Con Construction division (EVP Michael Fischer's former employer) is a direct Florida-region comparable. Comparable in scale of bidding capability, project size, and collaborative delivery expertise.

Direct peers

• Archer Western Construction: Walsh Group heavy civil subsidiary operating across the Southeast on heavy civil, water, and transportation projects. Comparable as a self-perform general contractor pursuing similar Florida municipal water and pipeline work (Ric-Man estimator Rafael Vega's prior employer).
• Oscar Renda Contracting: Texas/SE-based heavy civil and water/wastewater contractor self-performing pipeline, pump stations, and trenchless rehabilitation for municipal clients. Comparable along underground utility, micro-tunneling, and collaborative delivery services for municipal water infrastructure.
• Lanzo Construction Co. Florida-headquartered specialty pipeline and underground utility contractor focused on water, sewer, and stormwater installation. Directly comparable as a Florida self-performing water/wastewater pipeline contractor competing for the same municipal bid opportunities.
• Garney Construction: National employee-owned water/wastewater specialty contractor with deep trenchless and treatment-plant capabilities. Directly comparable along business model and core service line (water/wastewater pipeline and trenchless construction) though broader geographically.
• Kimmins Contracting Corp: Tampa, FL-based heavy civil contractor with a long track record in underground utilities, site work, and water/sewer/stormwater systems for municipal clients. Directly comparable to Ric-Man in Florida geography, services, and client base (Kimmins is the prior employer of Ric-Man PM Tyler Lirio).

Others

• Stantec Inc. Global design and engineering consultancy with a large North American water practice frequently acting as owner's engineer for CMAR, Progressive Design-Build, and Design-Build water/wastewater programs. Comparable as a partner/competing collaborator on Ric-Man's collaborative delivery contracts rather than a competitor.
