About Us

Raffield Site Development

Raffield Site Development is a family-owned Heavy Civil Contractor based in Port St. Joe, Florida, proudly serving the entire Florida Panhandle. We’re rooted in hard work, strong values, and a commitment to doing things the right way, every time.

As a State Certified Underground Utility and Excavation Contractor (License #CUC12226281), we specialize in the installation, repair, and modification of water, sewer, and storm systems throughout the state. Our team also offers turnkey site development solutions, including grading, excavation, asphalt paving, concrete work, soil stabilization, and erosion control.

What makes us different isn’t just our scope of work, it’s how we approach each project. We know that most general contractors or project owners don’t come from a civil construction background, and they rely on our expertise to get this crucial phase of the job done right. That’s why we take the time to work closely during bidding and pre-construction, helping identify any omissions or value-engineering opportunities before they become costly change orders. We’re all about upfront honesty, clear communication, and solutions that make sense.

Experience and Integrity

Our founder, Randy Raffield, got his start in the civil construction industry over 10 years ago with Wetherington Tractor Service. Before that, he worked as a commercial fisherman with the family business, Raffield Fisheries, learning the kind of work ethic and grit that still define our company today.

In 2023, Raffield Site Development was officially formed but the foundation was laid long before that, through years of hands-on experience and the support of people who believed in us.

We’re incredibly thankful to Wetherington Tractor Service, Raffield Fisheries, our family, our friends, and the many people who have poured into us along the way. Their guidance and encouragement have helped shape who we are, and we carry that with us on every job site.

At Raffield Site Development, we haven’t forgotten where we came from and we’re committed to building a business that reflects the values we were raised on: hard work, humility, and doing right by others.
