MORE ABOUT US

OUR WORK

CARNWATH

STANDS OUT
FROM THE COMPETITION

One thing that sets Carnwath Excavating apart from our competition is our attention to detail at the beginning of the project. When it comes to site utility work, often there are better or more cost effective materials to be utilized, or utility routing that will save cost and improve constructability. We review the project plans for constructability issues and value engineering up front and do our best to get in front of issues that would cost everyone time and money if it isn't addressed prior to construction.

  • Carnwath brings a level of professionalism and experience above and beyond industry standard.  From their President to their operators and laborers, they consistently problem-solve and work to find  creative solutions in the field. They recently completed the Topgolf project for ARCO Murray in Auburn Hills, and it was a tremendous success!

    Vice President ~ ARCO/Murray

  • In the 21 states we do business and construction in and the 1000’s of contractors we interact with, I have found only but a handful of earthwork and excavation companies that match the quality, experience, and customer service that is demonstrated by the Carnwath Team.

    Jeff Julius
    Principal, EIGHT

  • I have hired Carnwath Excavating for many projects over the last 20+ years, they are always very professional and their crews understand how to manage site construction to benefit the overall project including other trade workers on site. They tackle problems as they arise with a “can do” approach. I would give Carnwath Excavating the highest rating and recommendation.
