Colvico, Inc.

What Colvico, Inc. does

Colvico, Inc. is a privately held electrical construction services company headquartered in Spokane, Washington, founded in 1987. The firm provides turnkey electrical contracting across five core service lines: industrial and heavy commercial electrical (including DDC controls, PLCs, variable-frequency drives, and motor controllers); street lighting and traffic signals; high-voltage and underground utility installation (multi-duct banks, overhead distribution, duct bank encasement); commercial Level 2–3 electric vehicle charging stations; and airport/airfield electrical systems. The company operates as an IBEW union contractor with substantial bonding capacity, owns its own heavy equipment fleet (backhoes, dump trucks, bucket trucks, line-auger rigs), and executes projects through in-house crews without subcontractor dependence on excavation and concrete scopes.

Colvico generates revenue primarily through competitive project-based bidding, with lump-sum and cost-plus contracts awarded by government, institutional, and private commercial clients across Washington State. The customer base spans federal agencies (U.S. Air Force, U.S. Navy, Air National Guard, U.S. Postal Service), municipal governments (City of Spokane, City of Deer Park, Washington DOC), airports (Spokane International, King County, Boeing Field), universities (Eastern Washington, Washington State, University of Washington), utilities (Avista Utilities), and healthcare (Veterans Affairs Medical Center). Distribution is exclusively direct — formal project bidding with named estimator contacts, supported by a website projects portfolio and community-involvement-driven brand building. Underground utility work accounts for nearly a third of project volume, and the firm self-identifies as the leading Inland Northwest contractor for commercial EV charging stations, a position reinforced by its partnership with Avista Utilities.

The company is led by President Cory Colvin and Vice President Jesse Dragoo, with a small management team including estimators, a purchasing/warehouse manager, a controller, and a safety director. It is family-owned (no external investors, parent entities, or funding rounds are disclosed), operates exclusively in the U.S. (Washington State with concentration in Spokane, Tri-Cities, and Seattle), and makes no AI/technology-platform claims — competitive advantage is derived from physical asset ownership, union labor access, and regional reputation rather than software or data.
