Sitework & Concrete Subcontracting for GCs in Louisville, KY

E & J General Contracting is a small, owner-operated crew that subcontracts sitework and concrete to commercial general contractors across the Louisville metro. We are not chasing prime contracts and we are not trying to run your job — we price a defined scope, sign the subcontract, show up on the date your superintendent gives us, and close out clean. Because Eric and Jerry are on the job themselves, the person who priced the work is the person standing on it.

Who Buys This

Project managers, estimators, and superintendents at commercial general contractors bidding work in the Louisville metro.

What's Included

  • Bid-day turnaround on takeoffs we can price from your plan set
  • A written scope letter stating what is in, what is out, and what we assumed
  • Certificate of insurance issued to your entity with the required additional-insured wording
  • Signed conditional and unconditional lien waivers with each pay application
  • Daily reports and photos when your project requires them
  • Work sequenced under your superintendent's schedule and site rules
  • Punch list walked, corrected, and signed off before we demobilize

How We Run This Work

  • Invitation to bid

    Send the plan set, the bid form, and the date. We tell you the same day whether we are bidding it, so you are not holding a slot for a number that never arrives.

  • Takeoff and scope letter

    We quantify our portion, price it, and attach a scope letter listing inclusions, exclusions, and assumptions so nobody discovers a gap during buyout.

  • Buyout and paperwork

    Subcontract reviewed, insurance certificate issued to your entity, safety and site-rule documents returned before we mobilize.

  • Field execution and closeout

    We work the dates your superintendent sets, submit waivers with each pay app, walk the punch list, and correct items before demobilizing.

How It Gets Priced

Subcontract pricing is lump sum against a defined scope whenever the plans support a takeoff, and unit price or time and material when they do not. We quote our own line items only — sitework, excavation, and concrete — and we say so plainly rather than padding a number to cover scope we do not self-perform. Every proposal is written and every exclusion is listed.

Scopes This Buyer Usually Needs

  • Commercial Concrete Contractor

    Flatwork, curb and gutter, sidewalks, pads, and footings for commercial property — poured over a base that was actually proofrolled.

  • Commercial Excavation & Sitework

    Pad prep, cut and fill, trenching, and rough grade for commercial sites — with compaction that gets documented, not assumed.

  • Commercial Demolition & Site Clearing

    Slab, pavement, and small structure removal plus site clearing — utilities disconnected first, debris hauled, site left ready to build.

  • Commercial Storm Drainage & Detention

    Catch basins, storm piping, trench drains, regrading, and detention work — for properties that hold water where people have to walk and park.

General Contractors — FAQs

  • How fast can you turn a bid around?

    If we have the plan set and the bid date, we confirm the same day whether we are bidding and we get the number in before your deadline. If we cannot make the date, we tell you immediately instead of going quiet.

  • Will you provide a certificate of insurance naming us as additional insured?

    Yes. Send the insurance requirements from your subcontract and we will have our agent issue the certificate with the entity name and wording you need before mobilization.

  • Do you sign lien waivers with pay applications?

    Yes. We submit conditional waivers with each pay application and unconditional waivers on receipt of payment, in whatever form your accounting group requires.

  • How large a scope can you carry?

    We are a small father-and-son crew, so we are honest about capacity. We are a good fit for small-to-mid sitework and concrete packages we can self-perform. If a package is larger than we can staff properly, we will tell you rather than take it and fall behind your schedule.

  • Are you bonded?

    Ask us directly and we will answer honestly for the specific project. We are licensed and insured, and we do not want a bonding question answered by a website when it can be answered by a phone call with your project manager.

  • Do you work under our superintendent's schedule and site rules?

    Yes. We take the dates from your superintendent, follow the site-specific safety plan and orientation requirements, and attend coordination meetings when you want us there.
