In addition to Bruce and Polly, our administrative staff includes Bill Smith, Operations Manager, estimator and project manager, Chris Morin estimator and project manager. Our business concentrates mostly on public sector projects.

Most of our projects involve subcontracting with general contractors in contracts with government agencies such as the U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Fish & Wildlife, BLM, the State of Alaska, municipalities and others. We also have been the prime contractor when the contracts involve primarily electrical construction and continue to look for opportunities within the public sector as the prime contractor. We have performed projects throughout the State of Alaska. At any given time, we are performing between two and ten jobs simultaneously. Our experienced office and field staff and infrastructure allow us to handle the unique complexities and demands of public sector construction.
