Ravalli Electric Co-op

The Ravalli Electric Co-op complex project consisted of a cold storage building, maintenance, and repair building, vehicle storage building, and the operations/engineering building. Our team was hired from the beginning of design as Construction Manager to provide all Preconstruction and Construction services in collaboration with MMW Architects.

This 61,500-sf multi-building complex structure houses all the operations for the cooperative, including a maintenance shop, commercial wash bay, lineman support facilities, engineering and design center, conference rooms, executive offices, and training center. The project has state-of-the-art heat pumps and solar mechanical systems, radiant in-floor heating along with a self-contained XERXES fire suppression system.

There was a large site development component to this project including 13.3-ac developed with ponds, walking paths, a storage yard, generator/water storage enclosure, fuel island, and parking.

The very sophisticated and finely appointed structure is the proud home supporting all current and future functions of the Electrical Co-op, designed and constructed to continue to do so for many generations to come.

Quality Construction provided us with multiple ideas throughout the design process which gave us the same or better quality product at a lesser cost. They also gave us realistic cost projections throughout the design process…to date we are on schedule and under budget on our project. There have been zero surprises.
