    As far as who would build it.. Pretty much any contractor could do the job if you had the design and specs laid out.
    It's actually more the design and specs that's the problem. Obviously you'd want to do it right the first time. Ideally you have someone who has done something with Shooting ranges before so they can know what you need but also where to save.

    Precast is almost always cheaper. Otherwise you'd see more cast in place culverts.

    Depends.. The advantage of Precast in a civil engineering/construction situation is that you get speed of installation over cost of product. Precast is also going to limit you to a specific size and shape that is available on the market. The size of the project is going to be a big determiner of which system is used.
