Celebrating Women in Construction

There was a lot to celebrate yesterday at Hausmann and it’s only fitting that International Women’s Day lands during our #WomenInConstructionWeek! These ladies make up a strong part of our company as a whole and we couldn’t do it without them. Cheers to the strong women in our life and celebrating our Hausmann Ladies all week long!

2021 Hausmann Award Winners

Hausmann is continually blessed by having passionate people on our team who continually work hard and help us all grow as a company. This year, we wanted to give a special shoutout to three of these people: Klay, Josh, and Tanner. 

Klay, who won this year’s “Above & Beyond Project Award,” has been jokingly referred to as qualifying for the Nobel Peace Prize. His calm, positive, and approachable demeanor make it easy for people to follow and work beside him. He is relentlessly positive, and his openness and genuine care for his team pushes them to achieve outstanding results. Even when working on long, difficult jobs, Klay keeps his team’s morale high and boosts their energy for the benefit of the team and the project.

Josh, who won this year’s “Above & Beyond Community Award,” has shown impressive leadership with our clients, displaying sincerity in his relationships with them and serving them with generosity. He has shown the ability to remain calm during difficulty, providing solutions that ensure positive outcomes. He has gone above and beyond for the UNK and UNL Construction Management programs, the LPS projects, and everyone in the Hausmann Team.

Tanner, who won this year’s “Excellence in Safety Award,” always places safety first. Stemming from his care for his team and other people, Tanner never walks away from any unsafe situation and ensures it is resolved as quickly as possible. He is down-to-earth, genuine, and knowledgeable in his work, making him both an excellent leader and a pleasure to work with.

Thank you, Klay, Josh, and Tanner, for your outstanding leadership and excellent work in our community and on our projects! We are so proud to have you on the Hausmann Team.

LPS Celebrates Topping Out Milestone

Construction Safety Week 2021

Safety is arguably one of the most important aspects of construction activity, and yet the least recognized. For this Construction Safety Week, we joined firms across our industry to raise awareness about the multiple ways we prioritize accident prevention and sound decision making on our sites. Safety is more than a hard hat, gloves, and a vest—it is a lifestyle that encompasses nutrition, hygiene, sleep habits, and presence of mind on the job. Deep breathing might be just as important as steel-toed shoes, and our dedicated safety crew ensures that every person under the Hausmann umbrella has access to what they need to create functioning jobsites that send everyone home each night. At Hausmann, we build safety into everything we do.

North Stadium Groundbreaking

Nestled between the Kissing Columns and Memorial Stadium, we broke ground on the new home for Husker athletes last week, just in time to celebrate with a spring game. As a firm rooted in Nebraska, our crew is incredibly proud to partner with BVH Architecture, Populous, and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln to build this 270,000 square foot facility, complete with weight room, hydrotherapy pits, athlete food service, and tutoring spaces. Go Big or go home!

West Gate Bank Groundbreaking

In partnership with West Gate Bank and Davis Design, we held a groundbreaking ceremony last week to celebrate the new branch being built at 177th and Maple in Omaha, Nebraska. A family-owned business with ten locations across Lincoln and Omaha, West Gate Bank relies on over 50 years of experience to provide the personal and commercial banking amenities of a large company with the outstanding exclusive service of a small one. This new 7,000 square foot location will include a full-service retail branch with commercial lending, mortgage lending, and business banking solutions, as well as a drive-thru with interactive teller machines (ITMs).

Mabel Lee Hall Topping Out

In partnership with Sinclair Hille Architects, our crew hoisted the final beam into place at Mabel Lee Hall at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln last week! Originally planned as a renovation, the four-story replacement building for the College of Education and Human Sciences will total 120,000 square feet and connect to the Teachers College on the first two levels. The facility will include state-of-the-art classrooms, conferencing areas, one large lecture hall, and administrative/staff offices, with technology integrated throughout.

Nebraska Pain Groundbreaking

After serving the Lincoln community for the past three years, the Nebraska Pain Institute is progressing into a 38,000 square foot, two-story clinic to enhance their pain analysis and treatment offerings, and we are happy to be their partner! To celebrate, the institute held a groundbreaking ceremony on April 1st at the construction site with Davis Design and Hausmann personnel. Offering the widest array of pain treatment options in the state, Dr. C. Weston Whitten began the practice to help Nebraskans suffering from chronic pain ‘get back to the good life.’ This project is an important step forward in providing comprehensive pain analysis and innovative treatment strategy to patients. The structure will include an expanded clinic, an ambulatory surgery center, and lease space for additional tenants, with expected completion in mid-2022.
