SOME HISTORY
Co-owner Wyatt Philips grew up running earthmoving equipment with his Dad. He is devoted to his profession and proud of where hard work has taken his family business. From building drainage ditches for farmers in the late 1960s, Phillips Grading and Construction has evolved into a company that develops 100-acre tracts of land and more. You can credit success to a work force of dedicated employees with strong character.

Co-owner Lee Hardy joined the company in 2008. He also comes from a long history of construction experience. Having been vice-president of a fourth generation general contracting company himself, he has been involved in civil construction most of his life.

The business has quickly diversified in response to market conditions. In addition to our core business of grading and utility construction, our expertise now includes heavy highway and bridge construction for the Missouri Department of Transportation and other governmental entities. Our expansion included assembling a highly qualified management team and crews with many years of heavy highway experience.

 

DAY TO DAY
We go to great lengths to meet the demands of the construction business. Work is time sensitive and when our customers need to talk to us, we know we must be available. Our office phones and cell phones are always turned on. When we take calls we know that often we will be asked to reverse our plans in the middle of a project. We are quick to move on project changes and realize the importance of staying within your budget.

They also recognize the importance of client needs and budgetary restrictions. Complementing their sound business ethics is their unselfish dedication to community service. This continued commitment to community and positive approach to regulatory agencies and project completion are an addedbenefit to our design building projects at Allstate Consultants."
