EXCLUSIVE PRIVATE GUEST RANCH
INTERIOR-BUILD
A decade after serving as superintendent on the original shop build—where the two wings were finished for ranch maintenance and UTV/snow machine storage—we returned in spring–summer 2024 to complete the unfinished center core (originally planned as living quarters). Working around active operations, we phased interiors, coordinated targeted MEP tie-ins, and delivered a clean build-out from late March to late August on a tight schedule.

Working with Merritt Contracting on a 6-month medical facility remodel was a top-notch experience from start to finish.
After several planning sessions and defining the scope of our project in detail, a precise line-item bid was produced allowing us to secure the contract with highly reliable budgeting figures. Upon kick-off, an equally detailed project charter was drafted and deployed to keep all aspects from demolition to keys in hand, on track and on time.
Throughout the length of this project Merritt Contracting worked closely with the architects, various subspecialties and state surveyors creating a low stress experience for all of us involved.
