S.U.R. Construction

What S.U.R. Construction does

S.U.R. Construction, Inc. is a privately held site, utility, and road construction contractor headquartered in Rochester, New Hampshire. Founded in 1987 and co-owned by Andy LePage and Jason deWildt, the firm serves state departments of transportation (notably New Hampshire and Maine), local municipalities, general contractors, construction managers, engineers, and private developers across New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts. Its three service lines — Sites, Utilities, and Roads — cover full site work, excavation, parking lot construction, wetland mitigation, retaining walls; pressurized water mains, gravity sewer, force mains, pump stations, drainage, gas mains, and communications conduit at depths exceeding 20 feet; and highway reconstruction, expansion, and bridge construction for state and municipal clients.

The company's technical capabilities center on GPS-enabled machine control and 3D modeling for roadway precision — capabilities it has invested in for over a decade — supported by an OSHA-certified workforce and a 6,000 SF in-house equipment shop. Differentiated work includes the $35.8 million Exit 12 Route 16/Spaulding Turnpike reconstruction, 25-acre sitework for Safran Aerospace, and utility work for Waste Management exceeding $5 million in cumulative contract value. The business operates on a project-based contract model with engagements ranging from $100,000 to $15,000,000, procured primarily through competitive low-bid processes on government work and negotiated contracts on private developer projects; an estimating request system and direct outreach serve as primary demand channels alongside AGC of NH and New Hampshire Good Roads Association memberships.

Direct peers

• Reed & Reed, Inc. Woolwich, ME general contractor performing heavy/civil, bridge, and wind-energy construction across northern New England. Comparable to S.U.R. on bridge and interchange projects for state DOTs and on specialty deep-excavation site work.
• R.J. Grondin & Sons: Family-owned site, utility, and paving contractor headquartered in Gorham, ME that serves southern Maine and eastern NH. Closest comparable to S.U.R. in scope (site work, underground utilities, roads), customer base (municipalities, GCs, developers), and project size range.
• Sargent Corporation: Stillwater, ME-based heavy civil and site preparation contractor delivering earthwork, utilities, highways, and bridge projects across northern New England. Directly comparable to S.U.R. on DOT highway work, site development, and utility installation for industrial clients.
• Pike Industries (a CRH company): Belmont, NH-based paving and site preparation firm operating across northern New England; owned by CRH plc. Direct overlap with S.U.R. on highway reconstruction, paving, site work, and municipal infrastructure contracts in the same NH geography.
• Wyman & Simpson, Inc. Augusta, ME-based earthwork and utility contractor with a long track record in heavy/highway, site development, and marine infrastructure. Comparable to S.U.R. on municipal road work, utility trenching, and shoring-intensive installations.

Broad incumbents

• The Lane Construction Corporation: National heavy civil contractor (owned by Webuild) that regularly bids NH/ME DOT highway and bridge work. Overlaps S.U.R. on the large interstate/bridge scopes exemplified by Exit 12 Route 16, though Lane competes across a far broader project pipeline and geography.
• Granite Construction Incorporated: California-headquartered publicly-listed heavy civil contractor with active Northeast operations in transportation infrastructure and site development. Comparable as a competing bidder for DOT highway/bridge and large industrial site work that S.U.R. targets.

Regional players

• Cianbro Corporation: Pittsfield, ME-headquartered heavy/civil and industrial contractor with significantly broader scope (structural steel, power, marine) and national reach. Compares to S.U.R. on New England highway/bridge work and industrial site development but operates at much larger scale.
