In researching references specific to Beckenhauer Construction, I experienced an overwhelming amount of support and extreme satisfaction through conversations with their most recent CAH clients. In fact one Nebraska CEO instructed me to discontinue my search for references because Beckenhauer Construction was the best construction partner in the market and you will never want to use anyone else. He was exactly right!

Working in construction, there are some projects that feel like “owner against the contractor” by the end of the project.

Ainsworth Community School

Beckenhauer's developed a plan during the demolition and re-construction phases that enabled our students to continue their education as the work moved from one area of the building to another. They stressed job safety as a high priority and always talked to the sub-contractors in terms of providing the owner's with the quality of facility the community expected. I specifically encourage the careful consideration of Beckenhauer Construction and the concept of construction management for any project which may be under consideration.
