Specialized Companies. One Strong Organization.
WRG is the parent company of Rice Lake and Rice Lake West. Both companies lead complex construction projects across distinct regions.
The Right Company for the Project
Every project has its own geography, qualifications, workforce requirements, client relationships, and delivery needs. The WRG company best suited to the opportunity takes the lead and remains the project owner’s primary point of contact and accountability.
Behind that lead company is a broader organization prepared to provide additional people, equipment, technical expertise, financial strength, and problem-solving capacity when the project requires it.
