Contractor and Construction Industry Resources: Florida
The Dirt Source assists the local construction industry facilitate the exchange of information relating to fill dirt requirements and other aggregate material availability in Sarasota, Manatee, and surounding counties in West Florida. Most construction projects, whether it be commercial or residential, inherently have a dirt balance problem. The Dirt Source was created because of our own needs as an excavation and grading contractor. We thought if we could use a service like this ...then so could others!
With the slow down in the housing and construction industry, it has become a priority for contractors to find reliable sources for aggregate materials close to their project as well as trucking and hauling contractors, sub-contractors, etc. who are competitively priced and reliable. Generally this has been accomplished by “word-of-mouth” and numerous phone calls to other projects, suppliers, trucking companies, excavating companies, etc. Our vast network of Florida site contractors, independent trucking companies, and our experience in this specific industry allows us to offer a much needed service that can reduce the cost and other waste associated with searching for resources required to manage your project.
