What Richard Price Contracting does

Richard Price Contracting Co., LLC is a privately held commercial site work and general contracting firm founded in 1972 and headquartered in Denham Springs, Louisiana. The company delivers a full suite of site preparation services — earthwork, decorative site grading, detention pond excavation, geotextile fabric installation, erosion control, storm drainage, water and sewer utilities, asphalt paving, and concrete paving — to private commercial developers, retail chains, healthcare and education clients, and public-sector entities across Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama.

The company is licensed as a general contractor in all three states it serves (Louisiana #14802, Mississippi Cert #5834, Alabama #16206) and operates GPS-automated Caterpillar heavy equipment integrated with Trimble machine control and Terramodel 3D modeling, enabling stake-less precision grading certified by independent survey. This equipment base represents roughly $500,000 of capital invested over two years and supports both prime contracting and subcontracting roles.

Revenue is generated on a project-by-project basis through competitive public-sector bidding and direct negotiation with private developers, with contract values ranging from approximately $20,000 for small municipal jobs to $16.5 million for major commercial developments such as the Hammond Square Lifestyle Town Center. The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting government agencies (DOTDs, municipalities, school boards, Department of Defense) and commercial developers, with no intermediaries or third-party distribution channels. The company also offers pre-construction consulting and construction management services to clients evaluating sites prior to capital expenditure.
