The Northfield News had a nice article in the paper yesterday about an upcoming project for All Saints Episcopal church. This is a lovely older church in Northfield. The congregation has looked at options for expansion over the past years and has now decided to expand their facility significantly. They contracted with the architectural fim [...]

We are just about finished with the Gardens of Eagan project. This has involved a vegetable packing shed, a shop/storage shed, and setting a relocated house on the property. The packing shed really looks great. It has a covered loading area with a loading dock for the trucks to pull up to. Inside the shed [...]

We have moved along very well with the buildings we are constructing for the Gardens of Eagan in Greenvale Township. One of the buildings has the exterior metal siding and roofing completed, as well as windows and doors, and the concrete floor has been installed. The barn red siding color really imparts a ‘farm look’ [...]

We have made good progress at our Garden of Eagan site. This week our workers finished installing the metal siding on the walls so the building is now fully enclosed. It really looks nice with the red walls. There is a shed roof over the loading dock so trucks can back up to the dock [...]

Last week we started site work for two new buildings for the Wedge food cooperative. These are located north of Northfield on land the coop owns where they raise vegetables and food crops. Our first task for the project is properly preparing the building pads for the buildings. We were able to borrow good granular soils from [...]
Our work at the Northfield High School loading dock is just about finished. The docks themselves have been completed and last week the dock leveler was installed. A dock leveler makes it much easier for trucks to unload as it evens out the levels between the different truck heights. This week we finished up installing [...]
We are just about finished up with our office expansion project. The painters are completing the wood finishing and wall painting. We used a couple of accent colors with the main wall color being a sandtone. In the toilet rooms we used fiberglass reinforced plastic (FRP) panels for the lower 4′ of the wall. FRP [...]
We are busy building a trail kiosk in Dundas, MN. It is located right off the main parking area downtown where people can access the bicycle trail heading south and north. This kiosk is constructed using heavy fir timbers with dimensional lumber rafters. To hold the structure together and keep the roof from spreading we ran [...]
