Safety & Compliance

The Foundation of Every Project

On a commercial job site, safety is not optional. It is the operational standard that protects our people, your timeline, and your investment. Our safety record is not an accident—it is the result of relentless discipline.

OSHA Compliance & Safety Training

Safety is not a buzzword; it is the foundation of our commercial operations. Our entire workforce undergoes rigorous OSHA training. We employ strict scaffolding protocols, fall protection, and silica dust management on every commercial site.

Material Staging & Fleet

Commercial masonry requires moving thousands of pounds of material daily. We maintain our own fleet of heavy equipment, forklifts, and scaffolding systems, allowing us to control the logistics of tight-space material staging without relying on third-party rental delays.

Fully Bonded & Insured

Rivard Masonry carries extensive commercial liability and workers' compensation insurance, with bonding capacity to take on the North Shore's most demanding masonry contracts.

Words From Industry Partners

We are proud to have built lasting relationships with developers and contractors across the North Shore. Here is what they say about working with Rivard Masonry on commercial projects.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"Rivard Masonry delivered the masonry envelope for our 18-unit townhome development in Wilmette ahead of schedule. Their CMU work was flawless, and their crew's professionalism on site was unmatched. They are our first call for every new project."

James Hartmann Hartmann Development — Local Developer
★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"We have worked with dozens of masonry subcontractors over the years. Rivard stands apart because they understand the realities of smaller developments. When a framing delivery was delayed, they reorganized their crew to keep the critical path moving. That is partnership."

David Chen Lakefront Builders — Multi-Unit Developer
★ ★ ★ ★ ★

"The facade restoration on our 1970s office complex in Highland Park was handled with care. Rivard managed the tenant access restrictions beautifully, kept the site immaculate, and delivered a finish that looks brand new. Our tenants never complained once."
