Full-service commercial construction and concrete capabilities for public and private owners across Indiana.
R. Chavez Construction provides a complete range of commercial construction services — from traditional general contracting to owner advocacy and design coordination. Our team has experience across K–12 education, higher education, municipal facilities, non-profit organizations, commercial office, retail, and faith-based construction. Whatever the delivery method, we bring the same standard: honest communication, financial discipline, and accountability from bid to closeout.
R. Chavez Construction is a certified MBE with the State of Indiana and the City of Indianapolis. When we serve as your prime general contractor, your MBE participation requirement is met at the contract level — not through a subcontractor workaround.
As general contractor, R. Chavez Construction manages every aspect of your project — from preconstruction planning and subcontractor procurement through construction, quality control, and owner turnover. We self-perform concrete work and coordinate all trades to keep your project on schedule and within budget.
Our GC experience spans school additions and renovations, municipal facility construction, parks and recreation projects, commercial tenant build-outs, and new commercial construction. We are comfortable with competitive bid, negotiated, and publicly bid delivery methods.
Discuss Your ProjectIn a construction management role, we serve as the owner's trusted advisor throughout the entire project lifecycle — from design review and budgeting through trade contractor selection and construction oversight. CM at-risk and CM as agent arrangements are both available.
This delivery method is particularly valuable for school districts and public agencies that want independent cost and schedule oversight alongside the design team. Our project managers have deep experience in multi-phase, occupied-facility construction environments.
Discuss Your ProjectNot every owner has an in-house construction department — and not every project warrants one. As your Owner's Representative, R. Chavez Construction acts as your eyes and ears on the project, managing the GC relationship, reviewing RFIs and submittals, monitoring schedule and budget, and keeping you informed at every milestone.
This service is well-suited for non-profit organizations, municipalities, and first-time commercial owners who need experienced construction oversight without the overhead of a full internal team.
Discuss Your ProjectDesign-Build consolidates design and construction responsibility under a single contract — R. Chavez Construction — reducing risk, compressing schedule, and creating a single point of accountability for the owner. We partner with qualified architects and engineers to deliver integrated project teams that work together from day one.
This approach is increasingly popular with public and private owners looking to fast-track project delivery while maintaining budget control.
Discuss Your ProjectConcrete is where R. Chavez Construction started, and it remains a core competency. Led by Brian Chavez, our Concrete Division self-performs structural and flatwork concrete on both our own general contracting projects and as a specialty subcontractor for other GCs. We have extensive experience across commercial, multifamily, self-storage, structural, and site concrete scopes.

If you're an architect or engineer working on commercial, institutional, or municipal projects in Indiana, we'd like to earn a spot on your preferred contractor list. We've built a reputation among design partners for a few things that don't show up in a bid form: we read the drawings before we price them, we flag constructability issues during design when they're still cheap to fix, and we don't let RFIs pile up until they're someone else's problem.
We understand that a GC recommendation from your firm carries weight with the owner. We take that seriously — which means we show up prepared, we protect your design intent in the field, and we make sure the project you designed is the project that gets built.
We engage during design to provide constructability input, cost feedback, and schedule reality checks — before issues become change orders.
We don't let submittals sit. Our project managers stay on top of the log and keep the review cycle moving so field work doesn't stop waiting on paper.
We actively partner with design firms on Design-Build and CM pursuits. If you have an owner looking for an integrated delivery approach, let's put together a team.
