<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We are a leading heavy civil construction company that specializes in the building and reconstruction of transportation and water
infrastructure projects in Texas, Utah, Nevada, Arizona, California, Hawaii and other states where there are construction opportunities. Our transportation infrastructure projects include highways, roads, bridges and light rail, and our water
infrastructure projects include water, wastewater and storm drainage systems. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>Recent Development </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On April&nbsp;29, 2014, we entered into an amendment to our credit facility to remove a requirement that we raise $20 million of new equity
capital by September&nbsp;30, 2014, provided that we raise $10 million of new equity capital by May&nbsp;30, 2014. We will fully satisfy this requirement through our completion of this offering. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman" ALIGN="center"><B>Preliminary Financial Information </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following financial results are preliminary estimates and have not been finalized. As a result, our actual results may differ materially
from these estimates due to the completion of our financial accounting review procedures, final adjustments and other developments that may arise between now and the time the financial results for our first quarter of 2014 are finalized.
Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on these preliminary estimates. See &#147;Cautionary Comment Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.&#148; </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We estimate that our total revenues for the quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2014 will be between $125 million and $135 million, as compared to
total revenues of $111 million for the same period in 2013 and that our net operating income for the quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2014 will be between breakeven and $0.45 million, as compared to an $8 million net operating loss for the same period
in 2013. In addition, we estimate that our net income per diluted share attributable to our common stockholders for the quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2014 will be approximately breakeven, as compared to a net loss per diluted share attributable to
our common stockholders of $0.39 for the same period in 2013. We benefited from a one-time gain of $1 million related to a revaluation on a receivable that had been written down as uncollectable in the fourth quarter of 2013. As of March&nbsp;31,
2014, we had $20.7 million of revolving borrowings outstanding under its credit facility and record backlog of nearly $800&nbsp;million, up more than 15% from December 31, 2013. </P>

<TD ALIGN="left" VALIGN="top">Backlog is the revenue we expect to earn in future periods on our construction projects. In prior periods we generally added the anticipated revenue value of each new project to our backlog when management reasonably
determined that we would be awarded the contract and there were no known impediments to being awarded the contract. However, due to the operating environment of our California subsidiaries in which low bid awards are at times contested, management
has revised the definition of backlog to exclude low bid awards not officially awarded. The new definition of backlog applies whenever backlog is mentioned throughout this document, and we have updated prior period backlog information to conform to
our current definition. As the construction on our projects progresses, we increase or decrease backlog to take into account our estimates of the effects of changes in estimated quantities, changed conditions, change orders and other variations from
initially anticipated contract revenues, including completion penalties and incentives. </TD></TR></TABLE>

</I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The average daily trading volume for our common stock as reported by the Nasdaq during the year ended December&nbsp;31, 2013 was
approximately 43,796 shares. Even if we achieve a wider dissemination by means of the shares offered pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, we are uncertain as to whether a more active trading market in our common
stock will develop. As a result, relatively small trades may have a significant impact on the price of our common stock. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:2%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Fluctuations in our revenues, operating results and backlog may lead to reduced prices for our common stock. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because our operating results are primarily generated from a limited number of significant construction contracts, operating results in any
given fiscal quarter can vary depending on the progress achieved and changes in the estimated profitability of those particular contracts being reported. Progress on contracts may also be delayed by unanticipated adverse weather conditions. Such
delays, if they occur, may result in fluctuating quarterly operating results and reduced profitability, which may in turn lead to reduced prices for our common stock. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Various factors described in this prospectus supplement and the documents incorporated herein by reference have adversely affected the levels
of transportation and water infrastructure capital expenditures in our markets, reducing bidding opportunities to replace backlog and increasing competition for new projects. Decreases in, or failure to attain anticipated levels of, revenues,
operating results or backlog could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:2%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>We currently do not intend to pay
dividends on our common stock and, consequently, you will achieve a positive return on your investment in our common stock only if the market price of our common stock appreciates above the price that you pay for it. </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We currently do not plan to declare dividends on shares of our common stock for the foreseeable future. Furthermore, the payment of dividends
by us is restricted by our credit facility. See &#147;Dividend Policy&#148; for more information. Consequently, your only opportunity to achieve a return on your investment in our company will be if the market price of our common stock appreciates
and you are able to sell your shares at a profit. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:2%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Future sales or the possibility of future sales of our common stock in the public
market could lower our stock price. </I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our directors and executive officers will beneficially own approximately 1,444,809 shares of
our common stock after completion of this offering. Subject to certain contractual restrictions on some of the shares, these stockholders will be free to sell those shares, subject to the limitations of Rule 144 or Rule 144(k) under the Securities
Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and, subject to certain exceptions, the 90-day lock-up agreements that these stockholders have entered into with the underwriter. Registration of these restricted shares of common stock would permit
their sale into the public market immediately. We cannot predict when these stockholders may sell their shares or in what volumes. However, the market price of our common stock could decline significantly if these stockholders sell a large number of
shares into the public market after this offering or if the market believes that these sales may occur. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We may also issue our common
stock from time to time as consideration for future acquisitions and investments. In the event that any such acquisition or investment is significant, the number of shares of our common stock that we may issue could in turn be significant. In
addition, we may also grant registration rights covering those shares in connection with any such acquisition and investment. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We cannot
predict the size of future issuances of our common stock or the effect, if any, that future issuances and sales of our common stock will have on the market price of our common stock. Sales of substantial amounts of our common stock (including shares
of our common stock issued in connection with an acquisition or compensation or incentive plan), or the perception that sales could occur, may adversely affect prevailing market prices for our common stock. </P>

per diluted share for the quarter ended March&nbsp;31, 2014, and our market position, future operations, margins, profitability, capital expenditures, liquidity and capital resources and other financial and operating information. We have used the

statements reflect our expectations as of the dates of the documents including such statements regarding future events, results or outcomes. These expectations may or may not be realized. Some of these expectations may be based upon assumptions or

borrowings outstanding under our credit agreement with Comerica Bank, as a lender and as agent for the lenders from time to time party thereto. As of April 29, 2014, borrowings under our credit agreement bore interest at a rate of 4.75%. The credit
agreement was entered into on October&nbsp;31, 2007 and, as amended, allows us to borrow up to $40 million subject to compliance with the requirements of the credit agreement. The amount of borrowings under our credit facility fluctuates from time

of shares of our common stock in this offering. </P>

February&nbsp;1, 2012. The Third Amended and Restated Operating Agreement and the amended Management Agreement eliminated the buy/sell option and instead included the obligation for the Company to purchase Mr.&nbsp;Buenting&#146;s interest upon his
death or permanent disability for $20 million or $18 million, respectively. In the event of Mr.&nbsp;Buenting&#146;s death or permanent disability, his estate representative, trustee or designee will become the selling representative and sell his
50% interest to the Company. In order to fund the purchase of Mr.&nbsp;Buenting&#146;s interest, the Company has purchased term life insurance with a payout of $20 million in the event of Mr.&nbsp;Buenting&#146;s death. The Company will be the
beneficiary and will also pay the premiums related to this life insurance contract. The life insurance proceeds of $20 million will be used as full payment for Mr.&nbsp;Buenting&#146;s interest upon the occurrence of his death. In the event of
Mr.&nbsp;Buenting&#146;s permanent disability, the $18 million payment will be made by using the Company&#146;s available cash on hand, and/or to the extent necessary, the Company&#146;s line of credit. No other transfer of Mr.&nbsp;Buenting&#146;s
interest is permitted other than to the selling representative in the event of Mr.&nbsp;Buenting&#146;s death or permanent disability. In the event that Mr.&nbsp;Buenting resigns or is terminated without cause (i.e., termination other than through
permanent disability or death), RHB will be dissolved unless both members agree otherwise. The amended agreements were entered into in order to eliminate the earnings per share volatility caused by the buy/sell option. At December&nbsp;31, 2013
there was also approximately $4.0 million in undistributed earnings owed to Mr.&nbsp;Buenting. </TD></TR></TABLE> <P STYLE="font-size:6pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Provisions of Our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL, the power to adopt, amend or repeal bylaws is conferred upon the stockholders. A
corporation may, however, in its certificate of incorporation also confer upon the board of directors the power to adopt, amend or repeal its bylaws. Our certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws grant our board the power to
adopt, amend and repeal our bylaws by the affirmative vote of a majority of the directors constituting the entire board. Our stockholders may adopt, amend or repeal our bylaws, with the approval of holders of a majority in voting power of all
outstanding voting stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our certificate of incorporation provides that our board of directors will be divided into three classes of
directors, with the classes to be as nearly equal in number as possible. As a result, approximately one-third of our board of directors will be elected each year. The classification of directors has the effect of making it more difficult for
stockholders to change the composition of our board, and could make it more difficult for someone who wants to take control of us to do so. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On November&nbsp;8, 2013, our board of directors adopted, subject to the approval of the stockholders, an amendment to our certificate of
incorporation to phase out the classes of the board over a three-year period beginning with the 2015 annual meeting of stockholders. Approval of the amendment requires the affirmative vote of the holders of at least a majority of our outstanding
shares of common stock. If the amendment is approved by the stockholders at the annual meeting on May&nbsp;9, 2014, it will become effective when it is filed with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, which the company intends to do
promptly after the annual meeting. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">When there is a classified board of directors, the DGCL provides that stockholders may remove
directors only for cause, unless a company&#146;s certificate of incorporation otherwise provides. Our certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws do not permit the removal of directors other than for cause. This requirement may
deter third parties from making a tender offer or acquiring our common stock through open market purchases in order to obtain control of us because they could not use their acquired voting power to remove existing directors. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide that special meetings of our stockholders may be called only by our
board of directors. Stockholders are not able to call special meetings. The inability of our stockholders to call special meetings may delay proxy contests until our annual stockholders meeting, which might impact a person&#146;s decision to
purchase our voting securities in an attempt to cause a change in control of us. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our certificate of incorporation and amended and
restated bylaws provide that stockholders may take action only at an annual or special meeting of the stockholders. Stockholders may not act by written consent. The inability of our stockholders to act by written consent could lengthen the amount of
time required for our stock holders to take actions, which could discourage, delay or prevent a potential effort to take control of us. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Transfer Agent

shares, in accordance with a deposit agreement between the depositary and us. The holders of depositary shares would be entitled to all the rights and preferences of the common or preferred stock to which the depositary shares relate, including
dividend, voting, conversion, redemption and liquidation rights, to the extent of their interests in that common or preferred stock. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Dividends and Other Distributions.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;Each time we pay a cash dividend or make any other type of cash distribution with regard
to the common stock or to the preferred stock of a series, the depositary will distribute to the holder of record of each depositary share relating to that common stock or to that series of preferred stock, an amount equal to the dividend or other
distribution per depositary share the depositary receives. If there is a distribution of property other than cash, the depositary either will distribute the property to the holders of depositary shares in proportion to the depositary shares held by
each of them, or the depositary will, if we approve, sell the property and distribute the net proceeds to the holders of the depositary shares in proportion to the depositary shares held by them. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Withdrawal of Common or Preferred Stock.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;A holder of depositary shares will be entitled to receive, upon surrender of
depositary receipts representing depositary shares, the number of shares of the applicable common stock or series of preferred stock, and any money or other property, to which the depositary shares relate. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Redemption of Depositary Shares.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;Whenever we redeem shares of a series of preferred stock held by a depositary, the
depositary will be required to redeem, on the same redemption date, depositary shares relating, in total, to the number of shares of that series held by the depositary which we redeem, subject to the depositary&#146;s receiving the redemption price
of those shares. If fewer than all the depositary shares relating to a series are to be redeemed, the depositary shares to be redeemed will be selected by lot or by another method we determine to be equitable. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Voting.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;Any time we send a notice of meeting or other materials relating to a meeting to the holders of common stock or a
series of preferred stock to which depositary shares relate, we will provide the depositary with sufficient copies of those materials so they can be sent to all holders of record of the applicable depositary shares, and the depositary will send
those materials to the holders of record of the depositary shares on the record date for the meeting. The depositary will solicit voting instructions from holders of depositary shares and will vote or not vote the common or preferred stock to which
the depositary shares relate in accordance with those instructions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Liquidating Distributions.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;Upon our liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, the holder of each depositary share will be entitled to what the holder of the depositary share would have received if the holder had owned the number of shares of common stock or of the series of preferred stock which is
represented by the depositary share. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Conversion.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;If shares of a series of preferred stock are convertible into common
stock or other of our securities or property, holders of depositary shares relating to that series of preferred stock will, if they surrender depositary receipts representing depositary shares with appropriate instructions to convert them, receive
the shares of common stock or other securities or property into which the number of shares of the series of preferred stock to which the depositary shares relate could at the time be converted. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Amendment and Termination of a Deposit Agreement.</I>&nbsp;&nbsp;We and the depositary may amend a deposit agreement, except that an
amendment which materially and adversely affects the rights of holders of depositary shares, or would be materially and adversely inconsistent with the rights granted to the holders of common stock or the series of preferred stock to which they
relate, will have to be approved by holders of at least two-thirds of the applicable depositary shares. No amendment will impair the right of a holder of depositary shares to surrender the depositary receipts evidencing those depositary shares and

will usually commit to use its best efforts to help us find purchasers of the securities we are offering. An agent who does that may be deemed to be an &#147;underwriter&#148; for purposes of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The underwriters
may resell the securities in one or more transactions (including block transactions), at negotiated prices, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. We will include the names of the managing
underwriter(s), as well as any other underwriters, or the names of any agents, and the terms of the transaction, including the compensation the underwriters or agents and dealers will receive, in our prospectus supplement. We will also describe the
principal terms of the underwriting agreement or other agreement relating to the offering. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:3%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If we use a dealer who is helping us find
