Public Works, Built to the Standard

Public work runs on a different set of rules, public bidding, prevailing wage, certified payroll, DSA and agency oversight, and schedules that do not move because a campus reopens or a terminal stays open. Old Ironsides Construction was built for exactly that environment.

We deliver schools, municipal buildings, and aviation facilities across Kern County and the Central Valley, sequencing the work around occupants, operations, and inspectors so the building keeps running while we build. Summer-break windows, phased occupancy, after-hours work in active terminals, we plan for the constraint instead of fighting it.

Every project is run by the same owner-led team from bid through closeout, with the documentation public agencies require handled correctly the first time.

01 Bid and qualify

We bid to the spec and bring the licensing, bonding, and payroll compliance public agencies require.

02 Plan around operations

We sequence the work around occupants, live operations, and the academic or institutional calendar.

03 Self-perform and supervise

Owner-led crews perform the core work and hold subcontractors to the same standard, with daily field accountability.

04 Document and close out

Certified payroll, inspections, and closeout documentation handled completely, on schedule, to agency standards.

One crew, start to finish.

The estimator who walks the property is the same person managing the install. No handoffs, no surprises mid-job.
