Scott Commercial Contracting, LLC

Scott Commercial Contracting, trading as Team SCOTT, is a civil construction firm owned and run by one family, working across South Florida from an office on Edison Avenue in Fort Myers. The business began in 2015 and has since grown past fifty employees, taking on infrastructure work for public agencies, utility owners and private developers.

Civil construction forms the base of the operation, covering public infrastructure, bridges and roadway building. The company also builds sites for electrical substations, handling ground preparation, installation and later maintenance of that infrastructure.

Underground utility work is a substantial part of the business. Crews upgrade existing utility systems and install new ones, locate buried lines and carry out routine maintenance on them. Directional boring recurs through the project record, including a two-inch bore in downtown Fort Myers and an eight-inch bore in Venice. A fire hydrant relocation for the LaBelle utility system and a drainage project in Bonita Springs also appear among completed jobs, along with a hardening project on Terry Street in Bonita Springs and sidewalk construction at a Minnesota Twins facility.

Environmental construction is treated as its own service line, focused on habitat restoration and the control of erosion. Transmission easement matting projects in the Everglades and the Corkscrew area fall into this category, where temporary access surfaces are laid so heavy machinery can reach work areas across ground that will not carry it unaided.

Two further capabilities round out the range. The company transports heavy equipment, planning and executing the logistics of moving machinery between sites. It also provides traffic control, planning and installing the measures that keep construction zones safe and compliant while work is underway.

A defining feature of how the business operates is that it self-performs every component of its projects rather than passing portions to subcontractors or third-party firms, which keeps scheduling and quality under one roof. Its stated aim is to apply current, technology-driven construction methods to improving local infrastructure.
