Indiana's school districts deserve a GC that understands how they work.
A certified MBE general contractor with a proven track record in K–12 construction across Indiana — from athletic complex renovations to facility additions, built on time, within budget, and with minimal disruption to students and staff.
Public school construction is different. Your budget is public. Your schedule is driven by the academic calendar. Your community is watching. And your procurement process has requirements — MBE participation goals, public-bid compliance, documentation standards — that most contractors treat as an obstacle rather than a baseline.
We treat them as the starting point. R. Chavez Construction has worked alongside facilities directors, architects, and construction managers on projects from athletic facility renovations to major building additions. We understand the pressure you're under, and we show up prepared to take some of it off your plate.
From urban IPS campuses to suburban school districts, our K–12 experience spans athletic facilities, building additions, and operational facility construction.

They provided quality work, in our budget, and their management staff is responsive and professional. I feel we received a great quality build to meet our growing district's needs and we are excited to put it to use!Sam Arnes Director of Operations, Clark-Pleasant Community School Corporation
We plan every schedule around the academic calendar — phasing and milestones set so facilities are ready when school is in session.
We understand prevailing wage where applicable, bonding, certified payroll, and the documentation standards that come with public school contracts.
When R. Chavez is your prime GC, your MBE participation requirement is met at the contract level — no subcontractor workarounds.
Strict site separation, pedestrian protection, and safety protocols keep students and staff away from active construction — without halting the project.
Clear, honest reporting — schedule status, budget tracking, and issue documentation — so you're never caught off guard in a board meeting.
We respect design intent, manage RFIs and submittals proactively, and flag constructability issues early when they're inexpensive to resolve.
Indiana school districts often carry MBE participation requirements tied to state funding, grants, or local procurement policy. When R. Chavez Construction is your prime general contractor, that requirement is satisfied at the contract level — simply and cleanly.
No complicated tracking, no good-faith-effort paperwork, no searching for a qualified MBE subcontractor at bid time. We are the prime. Your board approves the contract. The requirement is met.
Whether you're early in planning or ready to put a project out to bid, we'd like to have a conversation. We work with facilities directors, superintendents, and construction managers at all stages.
