Company Description

          Eriksen Construction began operation in 1983 under the ownership and management of John Eriksen, formerly vice president of the Harold Wright Company.

          Located in a small community just 20 minutes north of Omaha, Nebraska, we enjoy a reputation of bringing a small-town attitude of caring and craftsmanship to each project, but also having professional capabilities surpassing many large-city firms. 

          We serve a region encompassing central and eastern Nebraska plus central and western Iowa, providing general contractor services on a broad array of building projects.  We also act as a subcontractor for concrete and foundation work.         

          At Eriksen Construction, our focus is always on the future.  Not just what will take care of your immediate needs, but what will serve you best five, ten, fifteen years down the road. 

          How and where will you be able to expand later?  What can we do now that will make expansion easier and less costly?  What can we do to help keep your business running smoothly while preparing your new facilities?  These are the questions and challenges to which we focus on solutions for each and every project. 

          We believe that we have unique capabilities in equipment, expertise and experience to answer those questions and provide the solutions to your special needs. 

Experience

           While the company has been in business for 18 years, many of our employees have been in the trade even longer.  In fact, our superintendents average over 20 years of experience each. 

          This experience enables us to complete projects faster with fewer people on the job, eliminate mistakes, and assure better quality with greater cost-efficiency. 

          Similarly, the spectrum and scope of our project experience adds to our capabilities.  That project experience includes:

*  schools                                   *  office buildings
*  churches                                 *  motels
*  nursing homes                        *  hospitals
*  retail stores                             *  industrial buildings
*  water treatment plants            *  waste water treatment plants

           We believe this broad array of experience gives us the rare ability to handle virtually any type of commercial building project.  It also gives us a unique capability to adapt building techniques and produce innovative solutions to new or unusual situations.

Self-Performance

           One thing that sets Eriksen Construction apart from other general contractors is that we self-perform a greater portion of any give project than most contractors.

           That means you avoid costly markups.  It also means that we are able to maintain tighter control over project schedules for faster completion time.  In addition, self-performance also enables us to assure you a higher level of quality workmanship.

Equipment

           We own a far greater amount of equipment and a broader array of equipment than many firms much larger than us.  This means that while we may have simultaneous projects underway, we have enough equipment to devote to your project and keep it on schedule.  It also means you don’t have to pay costly markups on rented heavy equipment that may sit idle much of the time.

           Our present equipment list includes over 100 pieces ranging from: Cranes, Dozers, Track Loaders, Rubber Tire Loaders, Excavators, Backhoes, Skidsteers, and Lifts.

Conclusion

           With our superior levels of equipment, expertise and experience, Eriksen Construction is poised to tackle virtually any commercial construction project and help you build for the future!
