Jalisco International

What Jalisco International does

Jalisco International, Inc. is a privately held, family-owned heavy civil infrastructure general contractor headquartered in Commerce City, Colorado. Founded in 1985 by Sipriano Ledezma and currently led by President Richard Ledezma, the company self-performs concrete structures, earthworks and utilities, bridges, and roads for government and private clients across Colorado and surrounding states. Its service portfolio covers the full lifecycle of public-infrastructure delivery, from site grading and underground utility installation through bridge superstructure erection and concrete roadway construction, with disclosed engagements including the North Broadway Reconstruction for the City of Boulder, the High Plains Trail Pedestrian Bridge for Arapahoe County, and the US 85 WCR 44 Interchange at Peckham in collaboration with CDOT, Weld County, and Union Pacific Railroad.

The company's operating model is the self-performing general contractor, in which Jalisco executes the bulk of craft work with an in-house team of 100+ rather than subcontracting it out, enabling sole-source accountability across project phases. Project acquisition is driven by competitive bidding on Department of Transportation and municipal work, supplemented by direct engagement with private developers; pricing is project-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution is direct, with no resellers, and lead capture runs through the company website, social media presence (Facebook, LinkedIn, Yelp), a partnership inquiry form for subcontractors and suppliers, and direct phone/email contact.

Jalisco reports 39+ years of operation, 550+ executed projects, and 50+ satisfied clients, with a stated 100% client satisfaction rate. The company carries no external institutional investors, no disclosed funding rounds, no acquisitions or divestitures, no patents or trademarks, and no public certifications; revenue is not publicly disclosed. Operational geography is concentrated in Colorado with stated intent to serve surrounding states.
