A-1 Concrete Cutting & Demolition

What A-1 Concrete Cutting & Demolition does

A-1 Concrete Cutting & Demolition is a Las Vegas-headquartered, family-owned specialty trade contractor founded in 1987 by Joe and Betty Monteiro, providing concrete cutting, core drilling, wall sawing, wire sawing, hard and soft demolition, excavation, penetrating radar scanning, saw and seal, and pavement grinding and grooving services across Nevada, California, Arizona, and Utah. The company operates 22 combination trucks and 21st-century specialty equipment (high-cycle hydraulic drills capable of 1/2" to 48"+ diameter holes, remotely controlled wall saws, penetrating radar for rebar and conduit location, and a custom water delivery and slurry containment system for grinding and grooving), with services delivered on a 24-7 schedule by an OSHA-10/30/500-certified union workforce signatory to Laborers Local 872, Operating Engineers Local 12, and Plumbers & Pipefitters Local 525.

The business model is project-based B2B services revenue generated through direct contracts with government transportation agencies (NDOT), military installations (Nellis AFB), general contractors, mechanical subcontractors, hospitality and entertainment operators (Planet Hollywood, Haze Nightclub), and commercial property owners. Pricing is custom-quoted per project based on scope, equipment, and timeline; no standard pricing tiers are published. A-1 holds NUCP-certified DBE/SBE status, NDOT-approved-contractor status, and four-state contractor licensing, which together establish eligibility for government and infrastructure bid flows that would otherwise be closed to unlicensed or non-certified competitors. Marketing is conducted primarily through industry associations (AGC Las Vegas, MCA, NUCA Las Vegas) and certification displays rather than digital channels.

Ownership remains concentrated in the founding family: Joe and Betty Monteiro retain owner status, their daughter Christina Monteiro Brandt serves as President and has overseen modernization of equipment and customer-service processes, and her husband Nick Brandt (BS Construction Management, University of Nebraska; 23+ years GC/sub experience) has joined the leadership team. The company is bootstrapped, profitable by inference (no external investors, no funding rounds, no M&A activity), and is currently hiring skilled laborers, signaling active capacity expansion.

Expansion highlights4 records

Broad incumbents

• Penhall Company: Largest US specialty concrete cutting, coring, and demolition contractor with national coverage across dozens of metros. Directly comparable service lines (flat sawing, wall sawing, wire sawing, core drilling, demolition) and overlapping customer base in commercial, infrastructure, and government — A-1 competes in a sub-scale local version of this exact business.
• D.H. Griffin Wrecking Company:

Direct peers

• A-Core Concrete Cutting: Regional concrete cutting and demolition specialist operating across the Western US with an overlapping service portfolio (core drilling, wall sawing, demolition, scanning). Comparable in size and similar in serving highway, commercial, and government customers — a head-to-head competitor in A-1's core markets.
• Ground Penetrating Radar Systems (GPRS): National leader in concrete scanning and utility locating using ground penetrating radar — directly competes with A-1's penetrating radar offering. Overlapping in the pre-cut scanning step that A-1 bundles with cutting; relevant peer for understanding market price points and capability benchmarks.
• Concrete Cutting & Drilling (CCD): Multi-state concrete cutting and drilling specialty contractor serving commercial, industrial, and infrastructure customers. Highly comparable in service mix (core drilling, sawing, selective demolition) and in the mid-sized contractor tier that A-1 occupies.
