The Ramage family settled in Titusville, Brevard County, in 1867, later building businesses in agriculture, citrus, and fuel distribution before shifting to site development and infrastructure.

In 1984 David Ramage started Ramage Excavating with one Mack dump truck and a Ford loader, clearing land, building house pads, installing drainage, hauling materials, and supporting Central Florida’s growth. Early adoption of computerized estimating and earthwork takeoff software enabled larger, more complex projects with accurate, transparent proposals.

Renamed Ramage Contracting, Inc. in 1995, the company added underground utilities—now a core specialty—and launched a septic division in 2008. From one-man beginnings it has grown to 130+ employees serving Brevard, Volusia, Indian River, eastern Orange and Osceola, and parts of Seminole County.

Ramage Contracting provides site development, earthwork, underground utilities, concrete, drainage, dewatering, roadwork, and infrastructure for commercial, industrial, multifamily, municipal, and aerospace clients, completing projects for NASA, SpaceX, Cape Canaveral Space Force Station, municipalities, developers, contractors, and private owners across Central Florida.
