Breese, Ill., January 30, 2026 鈥� 污樱桃视频 Construction, an award-winning, family-owned construction management firm, built 15 education projects in 2025 toward preparing Greater St. Louis and Southern Illinois for the 2025-2026 school year.
Drawing on their deep understanding of the educational environment, the 污樱桃视频 Construction team tailors their services specifically for schools by minimizing disruption to learning, prioritizing safety, monitoring every penny, and completing projects before the academic year begins.
污樱桃视频鈥檚 stellar education performance motivated Mascoutah CUSD #19 to hire the company for a fourth project. 污樱桃视频 built a 24,000 SF addition to Mascoutah Middle School to support a new library, esports media lab, art room, 10 classrooms, and an outdoor classroom. The school鈥檚 leadership personally thanked 污樱桃视频鈥檚 crew for maintaining such a clean and safe site, which they said helped alleviate parent concerns during construction.
鈥淎t Mascoutah, we pride ourselves on providing our students and community with some of the finest educational and extracurricular resources and facilities,鈥� said Dr. David Deets, Superintendent of Mascoutah CUSD #19. 鈥淭herefore, when improving, updating, or increasing capacity of our facilities, our decision on what companies we work with are extremely important. During the past three years, we have completed multiple addition and renovation projects together, and at every step, 污樱桃视频 demonstrated that they are not just a construction company but are true partners and friends of the district who understand the importance of trust, communication, and responsiveness. Thank you to the team at 污樱桃视频 for all you’ve done and all you’ll continue to do for Mascoutah CUSD19.鈥�
Schools that hire 污樱桃视频 as their Construction Manager benefit from 污樱桃视频’s expertise in the planning phase, well before construction begins. In a Construction Management capacity, 污樱桃视频 Construction meets with school leadership and architects to understand the goals of the project. 污樱桃视频 advises its education clients throughout the project and involves them in decision-making. As the construction lead, 污樱桃视频 reviews the project documents for quality, cost-saving opportunities, constructability and ultimately to satisfy the client鈥檚 goals.
Columbia High School engaged 污樱桃视频 as their Construction Management partner in the construction of a 110,900 SF addition housing a state-of-the-art auditorium, classrooms, gymnasium, and athletic support facilities. 鈥�(The 污樱桃视频 team) has worked tirelessly on this project,鈥� said Greg Meyer, Columbia Community Unit School District #4 Board President. 鈥淭he solicitation was very well done. Our response was overwhelming, and we got a lot of competitive bids, which really kept our prices down. Thank you all for your hard work.鈥�
污樱桃视频 Construction prides itself on providing excellent communication throughout the process. Stakeholders receive weekly reports of the project schedule, a recap of recently completed work, project photos, a budget update, and what the team plans to work on next. To keep projects ahead of the start of the school year, weekly coordination meetings are held with 污樱桃视频, school staff, the design team, and subcontractors.
Every school, regardless of the size of the project, receives individual attention. Under its multi-year Bond program with the Parkway School District in St. Louis County, 污樱桃视频 served eight different schools on a range of projects this summer, including everything from extensive renovations and expansions, playground upgrades and swimming pool renovations to installing fire suppressions systems and repairing parking lots. 污樱桃视频鈥檚 Project Director overseeing the Parkway projects personally met with every school principal to ensure their needs were met before school began.
鈥淪chools are designed to provide students with a safe and accessible place for teaching, learning, and experiences to occur. 污樱桃视频 Construction understands this,鈥� said Dr. Jaime Otto, Principal, Parkway River Bend Elementary School. 鈥淥ur young students had a front-row seat to the design process and trade professions, which we believe are assets for teaching the whole child. The people of 污樱桃视频 Construction were a pleasure with which to work. The site superintendent, project manager, and project director became a part of our school family. Construction of such magnitude comes with challenges, but this team鈥檚 communication and collaboration kept us moving positively toward the goal. We now have two beautiful classroom additions and added safety features so that River Bend students can continue to learn and grow.鈥�
What education clients remember most is the team鈥檚 personal touch. In addition to construction, 污樱桃视频 assists with school events, such as tours of new schools or additions during construction, drone demonstrations, STEAM learning, and supporting teachers during move-in. One Project Manager even created custom supply boxes with wildflowers for every teacher.
鈥淭hroughout this process, I鈥檝e been consistently impressed and genuinely enjoyed working with several members of your team,鈥� said Dr. Kevin M. Martin, Principal of Parkway Northeast Middle School. 鈥淭hey鈥檝e been approachable, communicative, collaborative, and I believe they鈥檝e gone above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly.鈥�
