Bob Vandenbergh
Founder & Owner
Built Vandenbergh Concrete & Excavating one project at a time over more than 35 years. Grounded in hands-on field craftsmanship, uncompromising jobsite standards, and longstanding Central Illinois relationships.
Vandenbergh self-performs mass excavation, underground utilities, site development, and commercial concrete for general contractors, developers, and business owners across Central Illinois.
Dirt to Slab. One Crew. One Call. 35+ Years in the Field.
When one contractor controls the dirt, the pipes, and the slab, you eliminate the single greatest cause of commercial project delays: subcontractor finger-pointing.
We deploy dual-mast GPS excavators and heavy iron to cut, fill, and compact subgrade to exact engineered specs. No waiting for a separate dirt contractor to finish before pipe or concrete can begin.
One contract, one crew, zero handoffs. Watch the same Vandenbergh team carry your job from raw dirt straight through to a finished, checked-off slab.

Industrial Slabs, Parking Fields, and Foundations Engineered for Decades
From high-turnover retail parking lots to precision interior automotive and warehouse slabs, Vandenbergh self-performs commercial concrete placement with laser screeds and experienced finishing crews. Our team understands mix designs suited for Central Illinois freeze-thaw cycles, subbase compaction requirements, and jointing layouts that prevent random cracking.
Real jobsites, real pours, and heavy commercial infrastructure delivered on schedule across Springfield and surrounding communities.

Heavy-duty commercial concrete parking lot, perimeter curbing, and exterior flatwork for Springfield's marquee entertainment venue.
Note: The 46,000-square-foot figure refers to the entertainment facility building envelope, not the square footage of concrete installed.

Commercial concrete parking lot, heavy vehicle access apron, and subgrade stabilization at BRANDT's primary agricultural office headquarters.

High-spec interior concrete shop floor, equipment pad footings, and heavy frame-rack anchors for a state-of-the-art collision repair center.
