Rush Construction

What Rush Construction does

RUSH Construction, Inc., founded in 1984 and headquartered in Titusville, Florida, is a privately held, employee-owned general contractor operating as the parent of a three-entity family of companies: RUSH Construction (general contracting, construction management, and design/build), RUSH Marine (marine construction and coastal infrastructure), and RUSH Facilities (integrated facilities management, HVAC, electrical, and technical services for mission-critical environments). The firm is licensed as a Florida Certified General Contractor under three license numbers, holds CMMC Level 1 cybersecurity certification, LEED Accredited Professional status, and ABC STEP Diamond Level safety credentials.

The company pursues projects through competitive bidding, RFP responses, and direct relationships across five primary segments: aerospace and defense (NASA Kennedy Space Center, U.S. Air Force bases including MacDill, Patrick, and Homestead, U.S. Army Corps of Engineers), government/maritime (Canaveral Port Authority, Jacksonville Port Authority, FDOT), healthcare (Parrish Medical Center, Health First, Orlando Health, Halifax Health), commercial (auto dealerships, microbreweries, charter schools, YMCA), and facilities management. Its revenue model is project-based, earning through lump-sum fixed-price and cost-plus contracts for design/build and construction management engagements, supplemented by recurring managed services revenue from RUSH Facilities. Notable technical work includes 35-story Lightning Mitigation Towers at Launch Complex 40/41 using catenary cable systems, LEED Silver-certified NASA facilities, and 2.75+ million man hours worked without a lost-time incident.

The go-to-market motion is enterprise field sales targeting government agencies, healthcare systems, and commercial developers throughout Florida via competitive bidding and established relationships, with active joint ventures (RUSH-PEAK, RUSH-LINK, RUSH-RORE) extending access to SBA Mentor-Protege and USACE IDIQ contract vehicles. Leadership is led by CEO William Chivers and Founder/Chairman Eduardo A. Rabel; key operating leaders include Tony Landry (President of RUSH Marine) and Shawn Lucas (Director of Corporate Safety & Quality). The company maintains a Titusville headquarters and a MacDill AFB satellite office.

Broad incumbents

• Balfour Beatty Construction: National general contractor with established Florida operations in commercial, healthcare, and government sectors. Comparable federal/government contracting experience and design-build delivery model, though at much larger scale.
• Gilbane Building Company: National ENR Top 50 general contractor with substantial Florida operations across healthcare, government, and higher education. Competes for the same institutional and government RFPs but operates as a multi-region incumbent rather than regional specialist.
• Whiting-Turner Contracting Company: National ENR Top 20 general contractor with strong healthcare, aerospace, and federal construction practices. Comparable focus on technical/mission-critical facilities and design-build delivery, but with national footprint and larger bonding capacity.
• Turner Construction Company: Largest U.S. general contractor with broad portfolio across healthcare, commercial, aerospace, and government. Overlaps with RUSH on healthcare and institutional clients but operates nationally with significantly larger resources and self-perform capabilities.
• Kiewit Corporation: Major North American construction firm with significant heavy civil, marine, and federal contracting capabilities. Particularly relevant peer for RUSH Marine division's port, coastal, and USACE work, but operates at vastly larger scale across multiple geographies.
