Miles Excavating, Inc.

For more than 30 years, Miles Excavating has paved the way to success for some of the most high-profile projects in Greater Kansas City. As one of the area’s leading heavy construction contractors, the firm cultivates long-standing relationships with clients by building a foundation of trust, a commitment to quality, and a hands-on approach that starts at the top. Founder Steve Miles started Miles Excavating in 1983 when he traded in one kind of horsepower for another. The former rodeo competitor sold his beloved quarter horse to buy his first back-hoe, and a career in excavating was born. Many back-hoes later, Miles Excavating has grown to a 160-employee firm, with a modern fleet of equipment, and a history of successful projects that exceed client expectations time after time, yet Steve Miles’ hands-on involvement in the firm has not changed. He is still actively engaged in every project, serving as quality assurance manager, providing project estimates, meeting regularly with superintendents, overseeing job sites, and working in the trenches. The firm has a superior track record of experience; a reputation for hiring highly-qualified personnel; and is dedicated to owning state-of-the-art, environmentally responsible equipment; ensuring reliability and the highest quality of workmanship on every project. By performing all critical paths of construction, Miles Excavating has cultivated a construction process that provides greater efficiencies, lower costs and shorter delivery times; and has exceeded client goals by finishing many projects ahead of schedule. As a family-owned business, Miles Excavating is dedicated to improving the quality of life of those communities in which it works through its exceptional work ethic, focus on safety, stewardship in the community, and loyalty to clients, employees, and business associates.
