Lots that slope
Near the foothills a lot can fall away in one direction. Excavation and grading come first, and steps and retaining walls are poured to suit the grade.
Pocatello is the farthest town Bro City lists, about 75 miles from the Rupert base. The crew takes jobs there, and this is how that works.
Bro City has no Pocatello office or yard. It is Jorey Winmill's Rupert crew, about an hour and ten minutes away by road, so jobs here are planned around the drive. The work is the same as anywhere: concrete, framing, decks, groundwork and new construction.
Pocatello sits along the Portneuf River, at the foot of the Portneuf Range and roughly 4,450 feet up. It is semi-arid, with about 13 inches of precipitation a year, and the winters are cold enough to freeze the ground.

Concrete skews to the warmer months, so pours are scheduled around the weather. Framing and sheathing run all year, and the shell in this photo was sheathed in snow.
When the ground drops away, a deck rides on posts. We build the framing, the stairs and the railing together.
A job 75 miles out goes better when the crew knows everything before the first trip.
Send the address, what you want built and a few photos of the site. If the project needs groundwork, concrete and framing, say so in the first message. One scope on one quote is easier to schedule than three separate calls.
You get a free estimate, then an itemized quote you can review and sign from your phone. After that, Jorey's crew builds the job and photographs progress as it goes.
Building new? New homes and multifamily are one of Jorey's six focus areas. Read about new homes and multifamily work.

Wondering who you would be calling? Start at home base in Rupert.
Yes, with a caveat about distance. Bro City is a Rupert, Idaho construction company, and Pocatello is about 75 miles from the Rupert base. Jorey Winmill's own brochure lists Pocatello in the area Bro City serves. The crew does concrete and foundations, framing and sheathing, decks and handrails, groundwork and new construction. Because of the drive, it helps to describe the whole project up front. Call (208) 431-6252 and Bro City will tell you straight whether the job is a fit.
No. Bro City is based at 905 6th Street in Rupert, Idaho, which is roughly an hour and ten minutes from Pocatello by road. There is no Pocatello office or yard. Jorey Winmill founded Bro City in 2020 and runs the crew himself with a foreman. If you want a contractor with a shop in Pocatello, Bro City is not that. If you want Jorey's crew and are willing to plan the job around the drive, it is worth a call.
Bro City does concrete and foundation work and lists new homes and multifamily buildings among its six core areas, but it is a Rupert company about 75 miles away, so a Pocatello build is planned around the drive. Whether the crew takes the whole home or only the concrete and framing is settled when you describe the project. Call (208) 431-6252 with the address and a rough scope, and Bro City will say what it would take on.
Permits are set by the City of Pocatello, not by Bro City. The answer depends on the project and the address, so ask the city building department before you build. Have the address and a rough description of the slab or deck ready when you call them. Bro City can give you a free estimate and an itemized quote to bring along.
