Isaacson Concrete & Excavating

Philosophy Vision & Mission Statement
Isaacson Concrete & Excavating was established in 2007, originally known as Isaacson Construction, Inc. which was created more than twenty years ago.  Isaacson Concrete & Excavating created a vision statement built on the family's tradition of excellence with the intent to carry the business forward into the future.  The Isaacson Vision is as follows: "Isaacson Concrete & Excavating will be a financially secure company of high integrity that provides exceptional quality products and services through a well organized, motivated, and driven team of skilled, trusted, and experienced leaders and workforce who are dedicated and committed to excellence."

Twenty years ago Isaacson Construction, Inc. distinguished itself by developing a "start to finish" process model for its concrete and excavating services that still applies today.   Isaacson Construction's President and Founder, David E. Isaacson, had a vision of quality when he started Isaacson Construction in 1986 and the company grew based on that vision.  Today Isaacson Concrete & Excavating, LLC is now lead proudly by the 2nd generation with the same unprecedented momentum set by its predecessor.  The mission of Isaacson Concrete and Excavating is being the trustworthy industry leader by providing the highest quality products and services from "start to finish" in a timely manner to our customers through strong partnerships with our skilled, trusted, and experienced leaders and workforce.

Background - 1963 to present
In 1986 Dave Isaacson was given the opportunity, by Dennis 'Hap' Anderson of The Anderson Companies (established in 1963), to expand Hap's business into the Bloomington-Normal area.  Upon leaving Davenport, IA with a small crew, Dave Isaacson introduced cast-in-place foundations to established builders in the Bloomington/Peoria/Champaign areas where block basements were the standard in new home construction.  The excitement of Isaacson's poured basements and one-stop-shop process quickly became the norm. As a result of Dave's marketing success, he agreed to purchase this division of The Anderson Companies and Isaacson Construction, Inc. was born.    

Upon the inception of Isaacson Construction, Inc. Central Illinois had the first Excavating and Concrete business to offer a one-stop-shop. Now everything a builder needed from blue print recommendatons, to excavating, hauling dirt, to pouring the foundation and finishing flatwork could be done with one call. Over 23 years the Isaacson family and crews have installed more than 10,000 cast-in-place foundations perfecting this "start to finish" process model that Isaacson customers trust to their projects' success.
