About Us
We Know Water
Stanek Constructors has specialized in the construction of water and wastewater treatment facilities of all sizes for municipal, federal, and private sector clients throughout the Western United States since 1997.
Stanek became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Water Resources Group (WRG) in 2018. Stanek's West Coast operations joined its sister company, Rice Lake Construction Group, on January 1, 2021. This enables us to leverage the wealth of knowledge, depth of experience, and financial resources of a family of companies focused on water and wastewater treatment facility construction.
WRG provides over 55 years of water-related expertise, averages revenue of $150 million per year, and has performed work in 18 states and Canada and Mexico. WRG has experience with several types of project delivery methods including Design-Bid-Build, Design-Build, CMAR, CM, and Best Value.
