Loyal Customer Helps Design the Ideal Mini Excavator

Sixty homes in 30 days. That’s the challenge for Kling Construction, Inc., each spring. The residential excavation company based in Littleton, Colorado, contracts with national homebuilders in large subdivisions. When spring rolls around, the company shifts into high gear to accommodate fourth-quarter home closings. 

“Construction has to begin on new homes by the end of June in order to close sales before the end of the year,” says Dave Kling, owner of Kling Construction. “April, May and June are the busiest months for sure, but we’re always busy.” 

Once fourth-quarter-closing jobs are complete, the company continues to average 30 to 40 lots a month. In the winter months, work shifts from moving dirt to pushing snow. It’s year-round work for the 22-person crew and the 20 Bobcat machines in their construction equipment fleet.
