Ridgemont Commercial Construction

To observe the construction management process first hand we were afforded the opportunity to visit the headquarters of Ridgemont Commercial Construction in Las Colinas, Texas and tour the construction site of one of Ridgemont's ongoing Projects.

Ridgemont Commercial Construction:  The Ridgemont Company was incorporated in Dallas, Texas, in 1976 to provide construction services for medical related clients in the North Texas area. From our modest beginning, we’ve grown substantially and diversified considerably. Over the years, Ridgemont's workload has grown to include office, retail, industrial, and distribution in addition to a healthy amount of medical projects. Ridgemont maintains three distinct divisions: ground-up construction, interiors and pre-engineered metal building systems.

 

Project Site: Near Lovefield Airport, Ridgemont is in the process of constructing a Dodge-Jeep Chrysler dealership.  The project began April 17, 2012 and is scheduled to be turnedover to the owner on September 14, 2012. This is a two-phase project involving a building for the dealership showroom and sales offices and a service center on the back part of the property.  Being immediately next to the airport, the owner's desired Ridgemont construct the facilities to limit the noise from aircraft that were landing and taking off -- usually directly above the dealership location. To this end, R-19 insulation was used in the ceiling and 6-inches of insulation was used in the walls.  One inch insulated glass windows were also utilized to limit noises from penetrating inside the structure.  The superintendent of the project informed us that the construction is more or less on schedule and that the project should be turned over as expected.
