Company Description:
IN THE BEGINNING Hardrock was formed in 1989 by brothers Lee and Larry Lopez, both successful in the residential concrete market. Early projects included Circuit City, Best Buy and Target Department Stores. By the beginning of the 1990's, Hardrock was enjoying the construction boom in the Southwest. Labor was a scarce commodity and the limited staff of 50 people had to accomplish an enormous amount of work. GROWTH SPURT In the early 1990's, the economy slowed and work in Arizona disappeared. Hardrock found many new opportunities to the west in California. From 90-93, Hardrock worked on projects from San Diego to San Francisco. Projects included Circuit City, Home Depot, Kmart, Service Merchandise and an Air Traffic Control Tower for the Chino Airport. From 1994 to 2000, Hardrock grew rapidly by completing projects for the government, state, universities, hospitals, schools and retail stores. Staff swelled from 50 people to well over 500 prior to September 11. In 1994, Hardrock returned to Arizona to regroup and create a winning formula. A new office was opened in Tucson to take advantage of a young expanding market. Several notable projects completed are the Sumitomo Micro-Chip Facility, Terminal 4 at Sky Harbor Airport, Phoenix Federal Courthouse, Tucson Kino Baseball Facility for the Diamondbacks, Integrated Learning Center at the U of A, Evo DeConcini Courthouse and the Raytheon Missile Consolidation Complex. NAVIGATING THE NEW MILLENIUM After successfully completing a decade of business, Hardrock Concrete has emerged as one of the leading concrete contractors in Arizona. The year 2004, our fifteenth year in business, has brought renewed direction and optimism. The cornerstones of Hardrock's approach to management is its commitment: * Work in a team environment. * Deliver a quality project with value, trust and consistency. * Accountability. * Framework to solve problems. * Technical expertise to objectively evaluate function and cost of construction.
