    Commercial Site Works Contractor in Cincinnati

    Drainage, retaining walls, pavers, irrigation, and grading for facility managers and commercial property owners across Hamilton, Butler, Warren, and Clermont counties. Hamilton County Storm Water District compliant.

    Cincinnati Commercial Site Work, Done by a Local GC

    RCG is headquartered minutes from downtown Cincinnati in Crescent Springs, KY, and our Site Works division operates across the entire Cincinnati metro — Hamilton, Butler, Warren, and Clermont counties. We know the Hamilton County Storm Water District post-construction requirements, the City of Cincinnati's Bonfire vendor portal, the local civil engineering firms (THP, Kleingers Group, CT Consultants) who specify most of the commercial work, and the major property management firms (CBRE, Cushman & Wakefield, JLL, Colliers, NAI) who source contractors directly. We've been doing commercial GC work in this market for years; the Site Works division extends that footprint into landscape installation, drainage, and hardscape scopes facility managers used to have to bid as separate contracts.

    • Hamilton County MS4 Compliance: Drainage retrofits, detention expansions, and PICP installs designed for Hamilton County Storm Water District post-construction requirements.
    • Healthcare Campus Site Work: Grade transitions, retaining walls, walkway pavers, and parking drainage at Cincinnati's healthcare networks — UC Health, TriHealth, Mercy Health, Cincinnati Children's, and the major specialty practices.
    • Multifamily Entry Features: Retaining walls, paver entry plazas, and signage walls at Cincinnati's expanding multifamily corridors — including Oakley, Hyde Park, OTR redevelopments, and West Chester.
    • Retail Centers & Corporate Campuses: Parking lot pavers, drainage upgrades, and exterior refreshes for retail centers, office parks, and corporate sites across the metro.
    • Tenant Improvement Landscape: Site work tied to TI scope — entry refreshes, ADA walk upgrades, exterior signage and lighting site work — under one RCG contract with the interior renovation.
    • Civil Engineer Coordination: Working relationships with THP, Kleingers Group, CT Consultants, Heapy, and KLH for design-coordinated installs.

    Cincinnati's Commercial Pipeline

    Cincinnati has $5B+ in announced or active commercial development through 2028 — FC Cincinnati's mixed-use, UC Health Clifton expansion, Convention HQ Hotel, the Brent Spence corridor, and 1500 Ovation Way. Healthcare and multifamily lead the demand for site work, and RCG is positioned to compete on the $25K–$500K landscape and drainage scopes those projects generate.

    Hamilton County Storm Water Aware

    Hamilton County Storm Water District (HCSWD) imposes post-construction obligations on commercial properties under MS4 rules — and the OHQ000004 permit renewal in March 2026 is expected to tighten requirements further. We design retrofit drainage and detention expansions with the next permit cycle in mind.

    GC + Site Works for Cincinnati Facility Managers

    Most facility managers in Cincinnati's commercial property space already know RCG for tenant improvement, healthcare renovation, exterior cladding, and ADA upgrade work. The Site Works division extends that relationship into the exterior scopes — drainage retrofits, retaining wall installations, parking lot paver upgrades, and integrated landscape — that previously required a separate landscape contractor and a separate set of insurance certificates.

    Cincinnati Commercial Site Works FAQs

    All of Hamilton County (downtown, OTR, Hyde Park, Oakley, Mariemont, Anderson, Madeira, Sharonville, Springdale, Forest Park), plus Butler County (West Chester, Mason, Liberty Township), Warren County (Lebanon, Mason crossover), and Clermont County (Milford, Loveland crossover). Our Crescent Springs HQ puts us 15 minutes from downtown Cincinnati and well-positioned for east-side and west-side metro coverage.

    Yes — registered under Cincinnati's contractor registration ordinance (Ch. 1106). We're also registered with Hamilton County and the major Cincinnati-area municipalities where we operate. Vendor registration on Cincinnati's Bonfire portal (vss.cincinnati-oh.gov) supports public-sector bidding.

    Yes. Hamilton County Storm Water District post-construction BMPs — bioretention, detention retrofits, PICP, and underground storm systems — are core to our drainage scope. We design to HCSWD's local water-quality volume requirement, not a national rule of thumb.

    Same company, same teams, same project management — just an expanded service scope. Site Works pulls from the same OSHA-30 trained workforce, the same project management discipline, and the same insurance/bonding capacity that supports RCG's commercial GC scope. For Cincinnati facility managers who already work with RCG on building renovations, Site Works is an add-on under the existing contract relationship.

    For genuine emergencies (active flooding, washouts threatening building or operations), we can typically deploy within 24–72 hours for assessment and stabilization, with permanent install scheduled per material and engineering requirements. Standard scopes follow normal commercial construction lead times (typically 4–8 weeks from contract to mobilization, depending on permits and material).
