Who We Are
Central Civil Construction is a third-generation, family-owned civil contractor based in Medley, Florida. We specialize in the work that shapes South Florida: deep excavations, underground utilities, heavy highway construction, earthwork, land development, and complex infrastructure.
With more than 150 employees and a management team with over 300 years of combined hands-on experience, we bring best-in-class execution to every project we touch. The owners are on the jobsite. That is how it has been since 1977, and that is how it will stay.
We've built South Florida's toughest jobs since 1977, and we've never lowered the bar to do it.
