Pottawattamie County Courthouse Renovation

Several offices in the Pottawattamie County Courthouse are moving into a temporary home this week to make way for a renovation that we are anxious to start! Prairie Construction was awarded the contract for the renovation of the second floor of the courthouse.

The offices, including the Auditor’s, Assessor’s and Recorder’s offices, as well as the Supervisor’s, plan to be in their temporary home in various locations near the courthouse (Public Map), before construction begins in early April.

The 15,000 square foot renovation project includes a complete mechanical and electrical upgrade on the second floor. The plans include renovating the existing offices and corridors which will result in an updated and more efficient space. The projected completion date is August 1, 2018.

You can learn more about the Pottawattamie County Courthouse renovation here, and be sure to check back here for updates throughout the project.

What Our Clients Are Saying

We have shared some details about the Better Homes & Gardens office we completed in Papillion. We were excited to be part of this rapidly growing real estate company in the Omaha metro area!

Tom and Jennifer Simmons of Better Homes & Gardens have been keeping busy in the Sarpy County office since it opened, but we recently caught up with Jennifer and she shared her thoughts about working with Prairie Construction on the construction of their office:

“Steve and his team at Prairie Construction were wonderful to work with. Steve was always responsive, no matter what time of day it is, and we really appreciated that. He and his team, particularly Ken, the project supervisor, were professional and easy to work with throughout the project.
From start to finish, the Prairie Construction team finished our Sarpy County office in 10 weeks. We were amazed! Tom was particularly pleased that the project finished not only on time, but on budget as well.
The Prairie Construction team is top-rate. We were referred to them from a professional contact and we could not have been more pleased with the entire process and the finished project. We would recommend Prairie Construction to anyone looking for a quality construction company in the Omaha metro area.”

City of Gretna Public Works Facility

We are so excited for Spring weather, and to get started on some brand-new projects! One of those is the new Public Works Facility for the City of Gretna!

Construction on the 38,000 square-foot building will begin next month and we expect to complete the facility in April 2019. The building will sit on 8 acres of land located at 20090 Husker Drive, north of the Gretna water tower and fire station.

The building will allow for consolidation of the Public Works vehicles, equipment and materials in one facility. Vehicle storage and a wash bay, are included in the drive-through design, as well as material storage and office space, training rooms and a breakroom. The building design includes the ability to expand in the future.

We are excited to contribute to the continued growth and expansion in the Gretna community! Check back for more updates on this – and many other projects we are busy with – in the coming weeks!
