Differentiators

What Sets Scotty's Apart

At Scotty’s Contracting & Stone, our construction operations are differentiated by our processes and our approach to adding value with fast delivery and quality assurance in all our subservices.

Value Engineering

Our project teams draw on decades of construction experience, design expertise, and the latest engineering technology to provide the greatest value to our heavy civil construction projects.

We thoroughly examine and evaluate each element of a project and its associated cost. Then, drawing on that information, we communicate with the design team and project owner to find alternative construction solutions or materials that increase the overall project value—either through cost savings, improved quality, enhanced durability, or a combination of all three.

Design Accuracy

Scotty’s creates a three-dimensional, digital rendering of the design plan on every heavy civil project we take on. These models are exact and form the basis of everything we do on the project, from grading to paving. We incorporate the models into the largest automated heavy equipment fleet in the region, the result of which is complete accuracy and design execution.

This is a critical component of how we operate at Scotty’s because it allows us to stay under budget and on schedule with our work. Project owners like the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet understand that they can trust Scotty’s to deliver exactly what they require in the time promised under our contract.

Quality Products

We understand the importance of quality aggregate and stone materials. Everything in the construction process starts with and depends on the durability of the rock used to lay base course and produce asphalt. That’s why we’re committed to supplying Kentucky with the highest quality aggregate and stone materials available.

Scotty’s uses in-depth, industry leading methods for testing our aggregate quality. Our mining operations communicate closely with our quality control technicians to identify high quality material sources, and we take controlled measures to wash and clean materials used for asphalt production.

Safety

Protecting Our People

At Scotty’s, we believe that for a project to be successful it must be safe. That’s not just something we say because it sounds nice. We view safety to be an integral part of our operations, as vital to a project’s success as the design itself. As a result, detailed safety analysis and planning is included in Phase One of every project review. Only after a detailed safety plan is implemented does construction begin.

Scotty’s commitment to safety is reflected by our record and our numerous safety awards from state and industry agencies. We are constantly striving to improve the quality of protection we provide for our people and the public.
