COGENT CONTRACTING
PROJECTS
Since our founding in 2012, our projects have been diverse, to say the least -- from gravel, sand, and topsoil delivery to dredging in Lake Michigan and commercial construction projects. Our first projects were obtained from local plumbing and electrical contractors at Davenport University Athletic Complex where we did a majority of their underground work.
Since then, we have completed dozens of local residential projects, like drain fields, basements, and driveways. We have also expanded our commercial presence, including demolition, parking lots, site lighting at the new Amazon building in Walker, and most recently the new Mr. Burger location in Allendale, MI.
**Our specialty is approaching projects creatively. We love a challenge!

We collaborated with Erhardt Construction on a large scale improvement project at Huff Park in Grand Rapids, MI. Our responsibility was the removal of the existing boardwalk to prepare the way for the new structure.
We enjoy being able to help other contractors complete their projects as we work together to provide the best product for customers.
Ponds and a beach restoration project in Arcadia.
We have helped many people dig and fix ponds, which requires careful planning and an understanding of pond construction. Probably the most interesting and challenging project we have been involved with to date was this beach restoration in Arcadia, MI. We subcontracted to a local dredging company and helped remove material from the mouth of the channel and extend the beautiful beach another twelve feet out into the lake.
