Present Day
We have come a long way from, steel toed boots in the office, original blueprints, handwritten references, bookkeepers, and little technology. In the end however we could not have achieved three generations and 80 years in business this without staying true to our roots and relying on the dedicated team members that have been the richest part of our history.
As we continue to grow, we are committed to hiring individuals who are authentic, value our handshake mantra and are enthusiastic about building strong relationships with their colleagues.
We are extremely grateful for the past 79 years and look forward to continuing building not only our legacy, but the legacies of our clients as well.
Our Mission
To remain dedicated to constructing and developing real estate of superior quality, to always understand our client’s needs and strive to exceed their expectations, to continue placing immeasurable value on the people in our organization and those we have the pleasure of doing business with, and to consistently bring value to the communities in which we live and work.
Our Vision
Our vision is to institute and ultimately achieve the highest possible standards in everything we do. Each day, we will work to establish our company as the premier and preferred general contractor and developer throughout the Midwest.
When we build, let us think we build forever. Let it not be for present delight, or for present alone...
