EXPERIENCE

IS THE KEY

State U�lity Contractors, Inc. is an Unlimited, Unclas-
sified General Contractor that is 100% employee
Owned and Operated. We are recognized in the Con-
struc�on Industry as a leading and reputable firm
in the southeastern region of the United States. We
began opera�ons in early 1985, our principals consist
of key management personnel of Dickerson U�lity, Inc.,
the u�lity construc�on en�ty of the Dickerson Group.
Our construc�on experience and management phi-
losophies predate the Company’s forma�on by nearly
twenty years. Over the years, we have been commi�ed
to providing our clients with an excellent product by
opera�ng efficiently with integrity.

Our most important strength is our employees, the ma-
jority of our employees have been with the company
on average for nearly 20 years. Since we are a 100%
Employee Owned Company, the employees take pride
in performing their work realizing that they ARE the
Company.

Due to the experience of our employees, our next
important strength is our ability to SELF-PERFORM our
Work. While other construc�on firms rely solely upon
Subcontractors, fortunately over the years we have
been able to develop skilled cra�smen that allow us to
perform, on average, nearly 60% to 75% of our projects
u�lizing our own forces. This is an example of where
our people give us an advantage over our compe��on.

PERFORMANCE

OUR MISSION STATEMENT

• To be recognized as the Premier Builder of en-
vironmental service facili�es in the Carolinas
and Virginia.

• To earn this recogni�on by producing the
highest quality facili�es to meet our clients’
needs within their projects’ design, specifica‐
�on, and budgetary constraints.

• To develop high quality cra� and supervisory
personnel through a commitment to safety,
training, and team building efforts.

• To pursue sufficient profit margins to allow
our company to grow in quality and financial
strength, thereby providing enhanced career
opportuni�es for our personnel and a fair
return on our share holders’ investment.

A WINNING PHILOSOPHY

We believe that the ul�mate goal of each construc�on
project is for that project to be mutually beneficial to
all par�es involved. Open communica�on, coopera�on
and mutual respect for each party’s strengths and re-
sponsibili�es are the surest routes to realizing that ul-
�mate goal. Along with our strength of our employees,
we also are able to boast that we have long-standing
working and financial rela�onships with our Vendors,
Equipment & Material Suppliers, as well as our Subcon-
tractors.

the incep�on of the company, The Har�ord Accident
