Chix Dig It Presents Cheryl Biagini
Cheryl Biagini, President of Roadworks Construction, Apex, N.C., is originally from Connecticut. While earning her bachelor’s degree in Accounting from the University of Central Florida, she interned for Granite Construction Company as a Business Management Intern. After graduation she was hired by Granite full time as an Office Manager for the Southeast Heavy Civil Division – working on projects in Mississippi, Florida and North Carolina.
During her five years with Granite, Cheryl worked on projects ranging from $22 Million to $187 million, managing an office staff that was responsible for all administration, accounting and HR functions.
After leaving Granite, Cheryl joined Charter Contracting Company, an environmental remediation contractor. At Charter, she worked in a strategic planning role where she led projects to improve company efficiencies, elevate company culture and develop recruitment and retention processes.
Cheryl and her business partner, Marcial, realized there was endless potential in North Carolina for quality civil contractors. With Cheryl’s skill set, she could run the “business side,” while Marcial – with his 25 years of field experience – could run the day-to-day field operations.

Been anywhere recently for the first time? My husband and I went to Tokyo and Hong Kong over the New Year.
What’s your favorite family tradition? Growing up, my grandma always did a grab bag on Christmas day. The gifts were never fancy, but it was always so fun to pick a random gift. Now that I have my own children, we have started Christmas grab bag in our household.
Have you had your 15 minutes of fame yet? No. However, if anyone out there knows any TV producers, I have a great idea for a reality show starring a funny, smart, good looking, humble, youngish woman who recently started her own civil construction company.
