Our Story
Rico Construction was started in 1998 by immigrant founders who came to Utah with a work ethic and not much else, and built a company one pour at a time. There was no inherited client list and no shortcut — just the standard that the work had to be right, every time, or it didn't go out the door.
That standard is still the company. Today Rico is run by the same family. Ruben Rico holds the license and leads field operations, QA/QC, safety, and the equipment and fleet. His wife and co-owner, Adriana R. Rico, runs payroll, insurance, and project administration. Their oldest son leads preconstruction and project management; their youngest son is the chief estimator. Two generations, one accountable team.
We earned our reputation on high-end custom homes in Park City — some of the most demanding concrete and excavation work in the state. We're now bringing that same craftsmanship and discipline to commercial, multifamily, and industrial projects across Utah. The company has grown, but the promise hasn't: done right, on schedule, and owned start to finish.
Owner-Accountable In The Field
The people who own the company are the people responsible for your project.
Field Operations, QA/QC & Safety
Ruben Rico, license holder. He personally leads the crews, the quality control, the safety program, and the equipment and fleet. The standard on site is set by the owner, not delegated away.
Preconstruction & Project Management

Chief Estimating
Complete, accurate bids with the scope clearly defined up front. You know what's included before the work begins.
