Current Projects

Petersen Elementary School

The $14M, CM/GC new elementary school project involved over 4 acres of site development work, construction of the 63,000 sf two-story, concrete tilt up, steel, and wood structure, and all interior finishes. Features include LEED Silver certification, a rainwater harvesting system, twenty (20) classrooms, an oversized gymnasium that provides space for eight (8) basketball courts, and an expansive media center.

"Our company supplied the concrete for all three projects so far (Grant Watts, Warren, and the new Petersen School). This is definitely helping us to keep our local employees busy through a slow economy, which will be especially important to us this winter when not a lot of other construction is going on. This work is benefitting more than just our own drivers too. The downstream effect is huge - more significant than people probably realize. With a concrete order like this, the local rock guys stay busy. We have also used Les Schwab, Lawrence Oil, Tom Fischer Trucking, and other local businesses for materials and services. The list goes on. That ripple effect is definitely taking place."
