New Year, New Projects

Happy New Year from all of us at Prairie Construction!

The start of the new year is a good time to set goals for the coming year. If you have been considering a remodel or new build project for your home or business, make 2024 the year for your project!

The Prairie Construction team has some tips to keep in mind to help make your new construction or remodel project successful:

  • Referrals: Choose your contractor carefully, and don’t be afraid to ask for referrals.
  • Do Your Research: Choose a company with a solid reputation. Check with the Better Business Bureau before you sign a contract or pay a deposit.
  • Find a Project Manager: Working with a construction company that offers a designated Project Manager for your project who will manage your project from start to finish will save you the headache of needing to find subcontractors.
  • Similar Experience: Choose a contractor that has experience with projects like yours and ask if you can see them.

Choosing the right company for your project will make the process successful and eliminate stress, so trust your instinct and do your homework.

Investing in your home or business with a remodel or new construction project will pay off in the long run. Contact Prairie Construction to start planning your 2024 construction project!

A Catered Affair

Prairie Construction so excited to be involved with the construction of the new headquarters for A Catered Affair, located at 134th & State St.

The local catering company specializes in events of all sizes from office lunches and trainings to cocktail parties, weddings, corporate events, and banquets. A Catered Affair also creates a weekly seasonal menu of meals-to-go – delicious, prepared meals perfect for anyone who wants a break from cooking or restaurants.

Since opening in 2008, A Catered Affair has built a solid reputation for providing delicious food with excellent customer service. Their reliable, high-quality service has led to rapid growth and the need to expand their headquarters.

The new headquarters will be located at 134th & State St. near the Deer Creek neighborhood and golf course, and adjacent to the A View Event Center. The larger building will accommodate prep space for additional, larger events. It will also offer an in-house option with a coffee shop and café for customers to dine-in.

We are on track to complete this project by mid-summer. Watch for additional updates on this project or follow along on A Catered Affair’s Facebook page.

Gretna Fire Station South

The Prairie Construction team has begun construction on Gretna Fire Station South, the second station for the Gretna Volunteer Fire and Rescue Department.

The new station will be located at Highway 6 and Capehart Road. The 40,000 square-foot, 2-story project will include a large classroom space and conference room, sleeping quarters for 12, a fitness area, kitchen and dining, laundry and office space, a training facility space and apparatus bays.

The project started with the county adding new paving and the addition of utilities added to the south side of Capehart Road, about a quarter mile west of Highway 6/31. The Prairie Construction team has completed the steel structure and the precast wall panels of the new station.

As the Gretna community continues to grow and expand, so does the need for vital fire and rescue services. Prairie Construction is proud to help meet these needs for the Gretna community. Our teams will work throughout the winter to meet a completion date of June 1, 2021.
