What we do

Our primary goal is to finish construction projects on time and within budget.

Cherokee, Inc. has been building infrastructure in South Carolina for more than 70 years. We have been a leader in construction services in the Southeast. Our concentration has been on road and highway infrastructure, but over the years, we have branched out into industrial, commercial, and residential construction projects as well as parks and recreation projects that involve landscape beautification. Additionally, we have extensive experience with construction management. We can do design/builds and work with architects and developers to make their projects run smoothly.

HOW WE WORK​

We evolve as the economy fluctuates and demand changes.

Although our roots and core competencies are in the construction of large scale road and highway infrastructure projects, we’ve remained nimble enough in the last few decades to evolve as the economy fluctuates and as demand for various types of construction work changes. Cherokee is capable of bonding and performing projects both large and small. Before bidding on projects, we think strategically about how our resources match up with the resources required to complete the job. We put careful thought into ensuring that we’ll be able to finish projects on time and within budget.

Construction Services

Cherokee’s roots are in highway construction, but we provide construction services in other industry segments such as commercial, industrial, military, residential, and parks and recreation. We are one of South Carolina’s oldest road building companies still in operation today. We have the ability to mobilize and provide our services at a moment’s notice. This type of service differentiates us from other contractors.

Hydro Excavation

Hydro excavation is the smarter, more precise way to dig.

Hydro Excavation provides a safe non-destructive form of digging. Utilizing highly pressurized water along with an industrial-strength vacuum, the soil is extracted. The vacuum transports the debris into an enclosed debris tank, which is mounted on our hydro-vac unit. This process allows for safe transport to a designated disposal site.

Cherokee adopted hydro excavation as our method for non-invasive digging in 2020. Hydro excavation is the most efficient way to dig without causing damage to existing underground utilities. Because of the precision with which we are able to dig in a targeted area, efficiencies are generated by allowing projects to continue progressing without interruptions from line breakages. With hydro-excavation, we can have complete confidence in what we are locating. Click below to see if hydro excavation is what you need.
