Built to be
your favorite.
Forefront is a family-run utility and site contractor built for cities and commercial GCs who need the paperwork of a big firm and the hustle of a small one. The number we give you on the bid is the number you pay.
Est. 2023 · Cache Valley, UTCache Valley needed something different.
The larger firms were overbuilt for the scope. The smaller ones weren’t built for the oversight. Cities were cycling through contractors and hoping for the best.
Forefront General Contracting was founded in 2023 by DJ and Sarah Jones with a simple mission: deliver reliable, professional excavation and utility work across the Mountain West. Our leadership brings decades of experience from some of the region’s largest contractors, paired with the personalized, hands-on approach of a family-run business.
Three years in, we’ve completed more than $11M of work for cities, GCs, and developers: 25+ projects across 12+ cities, and the call-backs keep coming. Today we’re proud to serve municipalities, businesses, and homeowners alike, whether that means replacing a city water line, grading a commercial site, or hauling material with our own dump trucks.
Three things on every job.
Large or small: on time, on budget, and the same focus on safety, integrity, and quality.
Safety
A zero-accident mindset, backed by training, written policies, and daily checks.
Integrity
Honest work and transparent communication on every job. The number on the bid is the number you pay: no back-charges, no surprises.
Quality
High standards of workmanship, whether it’s a city water main or a backyard grade. Built to pass inspection the first time.
Three rules we never break.
No formal process doc. Just three rules we run the company by, and they show up on every jobsite and in every bid room.
The key to success is communication.
Project owner, superintendent, inspector, the neighbor complaining about dust. Everyone gets returned calls and straight answers. That’s why municipal engineers keep asking us back.
The key to profit is housekeeping.
Clean jobsites, accurate daily logs, organized paperwork. It’s what separates the contractor a city trusts from the one they put up with.
The key to happiness is service to others.
Problems come up. That’s the work. We’d rather figure it out than point fingers. Customers have literally told us they “just like” us. We’ll take it.

Working across the Mountain West.
