Who We Are

Owyhee Construction, Inc. is a full-service contracting business.  Founded in 1977 and located in Boise, Idaho, Owyhee Construction, Inc. began laying water mains and quickly expanded into all areas of underground construction. Our services now range from underground utility line installation to general contracting and construction management, with annual revenues over 12 million dollars.

Our clients are as diverse as the services we provide and are located throughout the western region.  We are proud to provide our clients with high-quality construction services at competitive and accurate costs.

This pride is evident in all that we do, from perfecting the management of every construction phase to employing experienced and knowledgeable individuals who consistently uphold our standards of excellence.

We were the first excavation and underground utility company in the nation to become an OSHA Partner.  This partnership provides us with an excellent relationship with our local OSHA office and allows us to maintain the highest standards for our workers safety.

The pride in our work is a result of satisfied clients.  Repeat business and confident referrals from our clients enables us to measure our success and reach our goals.
