- My name is Richard Evans.
I'm Vice President of Built
Right Construction, LLC
and we're working on a water line project
in Okfuskee County.
So we've been in business
for about 15 years.
We do a wide range of construction.
Last year we started doing utility work
so we're doing water lines, sewer lines.
We perform highway construction
work, commercial work.
When we bid this project
there was a lot of
rock on the project and we had
to get four plus feet deep.
We figured rather than
digging it with an excavator
we figured we'd just trench
it so we decided to lease
a big enough machine to
take care of the project.
The 655 is a Cadillac.
I mean, it's a great machine.
It's handled everything
we've thrown at it.
I would say on this particular project
the speed at which we're
moving has really made
the project go pretty quick so far.
I would say at this point in
time we're ahead of schedule
versus if we were just
digging it track hoe.
- I'm Dusty Warlick.
I'm with Vermeer Great Plains
out of the Catoosa location.
We try to create a
partnership with the customer
and us and that way we
provide them with equipment
that they need and try to
get out there in the field
and get them to understand the equipment
and where they can utilize
and be the most efficient with it.
- I think in terms of our
operation we're using equipment
we've never used before and
without somebody to help us
learn about that
equipment, train our folks
how to run it and operate
it, we would probably be
at a disadvantage without the support
that we're getting from
Dusty and Great Plains.
I would say we choose
Vermeer equipment because
its quality product and
I think we really do
get good service with Dusty.
Relationships are important
and he's there for us
and those things matter.
Our overall Vermeer
experience has been great.
I mean there's not much else to say but
the support's been great
and we look forward
to working with Vermeer in the future.
