For more than 30 years, RUSH Construction has established a stellar reputation in Central Florida as a trusted general contractor, design/builder, and construction manager for the aerospace, defense, commercial and medical industry sectors.
The founder of RUSH Construction once referred to his company as a “30-year-old startup.” Much of that vibrancy and innovation can be credited to the company’s president, William Chivers, though he would be the first to deflect it to his team. Founded in 1984, RUSH worked almost exclusively on government and government-related contracts for the first decade of its existence, but due to the cyclical nature of the space industry, Chivers has helped move the company towards a more diverse track.
Specializing in all kinds of construction projects and having built a solid reputation in the Central Florida region, RUSH Construction has never failed to deliver a project on time and has logged more than three million man hours without any lost time due to injury.
