Working in Forest Ranch
BC Brown General Engineering has served Forest Ranch since 1999. Forest Ranch is a mountain community in the pines along Highway 32, climbing toward Butte Meadows. We bring the same crews, equipment, and standards to every job here, from a single driveway to a full site build.
The ground around Forest Ranch is decomposed granite on steep, forested mountain lots with no municipal sewer for miles. Mountain work means rock, slope, and snow: deeper bases, drainage built for melt, frost-aware septic and concrete, and equipment that can get in and get the job done on remote lots.
Forest Ranch is up Highway 32 northeast of Chico. We pull permits through the Butte County Environmental Health Division when the job calls for it, from septic and grading to encroachment, and handle the inspections so the work closes out clean.
