What Our Customers Are Saying
Cache River
Contractors' quality control system organization is staffed by highly trained professionals.
RKE always provides a quality end product, consistently on time and budget, have a strong safety record, and provides innovative solutions to problems encountered in the field. Always a pleasure working with RKE.
JB 5AB
They set the bar early with their subcontractors and suppliers and follows up through the end of the construction and turnover process.
If I were to select a contractor based on qualifications, RKE would be my first choice based on their performance on the Jefferson Barrack National Cemetery expansion phase 5 A & B. I highly recommend RKE for your next construction project. RKE provides great customer service as they are always available when needed and proactive in their communication. They welcome feedback and questions in the field and their response are always positive and to the point.
