We have been around since 1947, and our experience shows in the quality of our work. Originally known as IHC Quality, we began as a small construction company during the post-war era in Michigan, and steadily built a solid business based on quality and trust. IHC quickly expanded into other states to establish regional offices in Colorado and Texas. In 2020, IHC was purchased by Clyde Companies and combined with Scott Contracting, a highly reputable contractor based out of Denver.

Experience the IHC Scott difference. 1947 IHC began in the construction business in Michigan in 1947. This post-war and pre-Interstate era provided ample room for a small contractor with limited resources to prosper. Starting with small jobs including highway widening, subdivisions, basements, and installing house sewer leads, IHC grew rapidly to become one of the leading contractors building the interstate & primary highway program in Michigan. 1976 In 1976, prepared for geographic diversification, IHC won a runway reconstruction project at Denver’s Stapleton International Airport. The project was an award-winning success, influencing our decision to establish a regional office in Denver. More work quickly followed and would mark the beginning of a long relationship building for the Colorado Department of Transportation, and many other agencies in the Rocky Mountain West. 1980 The Denver regional office, while maintaining its Rocky Mountain operations, further expanded in 1980 to Texas, building an early section of I-635 just north of the Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. 1983 In 1983, the corporate office was relocated from Michigan to Denver, leaving a local presence in the form of a divisional office in Owosso, Michigan. 1990 By 1990, IHC had constructed over $300 million in airfield and highway projects throughout Texas and Oklahoma. As the Texas marketplace began to slow, our Texas team and resources were redeployed to Denver marking the launch of an intense five-year building program at the new $5B Denver International Airport. In those five years, IHC constructed many major components of the airfield and the airport’s surrounding infrastructure. 1995 In 1995, we teamed with Cemex, a Mexican-based material supplier, and brought slipform concrete pavement technology to Mexico for the first time. Together we built several projects in central Mexico, the most notable project being the Guadalajara to Tepic concession highway. 1995 Lon Scott Schumacher founded Scott Contracting in Colorado as an environmental remediation company. 1997 Scott Contracting moved into the general contracting space, which led to doing underground utilities for site work. 1998 IHC completes I-70 Airpark project, the first highway design-build in Colorado. 1998 Scott Contracting took on its first major underground utility project: 3 miles of underground utilities for the construction of Ralston Valley High School. 2001 IHC begins I-70 Stratton, CO project, which is the first design-build highway project in Colorado that included a 10 year performance warranty. 2002 Growth and resurgence of the Texas market, IHC re-establishes Southwest Division serving Texas, Arkansas, and Oklahoma 2008 IHC enters the California market through work on Edwards Air Force Base’s main runway 2008 Scott Contracting won the AGC National Safety Award, beating powerhouses such as Lafarge Holcim and Kiewit. 2009 Scott Contracting bought its first concrete roadway paver and constructed 2.5 miles of 104th Avenue for the city of Commerce City.
