Since 1953 the team at Rice has been creating collaborative environments where construction is simplified, innovative, and enjoyable for all. Together, we are shaping spaces, building places, and elevating lives.
As a 3rd generation company, family is who we are, and who we will be in the future. Our team, clients and communities thrive when our success is measured in long term growth, not short-term gains.
We build partnerships and projects. Our goal is to earn our clients’ unwavering support to do business with us again and again.
As a committed partner, our entire team believes in being held accountable for the services we provide long after each project is completed.
Our company’s growth is focused on adding services, people and technology that enable us to work together to deliver better results for our clients; sometimes in ways that our clients never expected or imagined.
We’re not afraid to take risks, challenge each other, or the status quo, in a continuous effort to improve our processes and our services for our clients.
Rooted in Core Values, life at Rice is focused on the success of each other and our customers – while building for the greater good. What we do today shapes the places and spaces that future generations will live and thrive in. Now that’s meaningful work.
Nothing is more important than people – and the safety of people. Our goal is simple – zero harm and zero lost time incidents to keep safety top of mind for everyone involved in the project.
