Ronco Gives Hosts Food Drive and Collects Over 8,500 pounds. 

Ronco Gives, Ronco Construction's charity committee, organized a food drive for the Foodbank of the Heartland and was able to collect 8,599 pounds of food with the help of more than 50 organizations. Our goal was simple — make a difference. So we set out to fill one of our semi-trailers with food and with the help of all those who donated, we delivered. We were able to provide 7,166 meals.

The Fairfield Inn by Marriott International Hotels is now standing tall in Gladstone Missouri! Framing is finished and we can now really appreciate the full scale of the project. The hotel will feature 111 rooms, a pool, conference rooms and more! We are thrilled to bring Downtown Gladstone it’s first hotel!

The Ronald McDonald House Omaha Construction Project features a (2) story North wing addition and a (3) story South wing addition. 

Due to the mission of the House, it is imperative for all facilities to remain completely operational for the duration of the project. Ronco Construction has created a phasing plan, and schedule to allow this to happen. The house will relocate the families for a short duration during the summer of 2018 so the construction and renovation of the existing house may occur. Once this truly unique project is completed, the Ronald McDonald House Omaha will have doubled its capacity to serve families. The new house will feature 40 family suites, a new kitchen, toy room, living rooms, dining rooms, food pantry, lactation room, contemplation room, check in area, volunteer stations, mail room, staff offices, board room and community classroom. Also, one of the biggest impacts of the completed project is a first for the Ronald McDonald House, brining treatment to the patients. Nebraska Medicine will operate an in-House treatment area – providing an unprecedented level of care with the goal of improving patient outcomes and the overall guest experience. Ronco Construction is the Construction Manager for this project with Holland Basham Architects leading the design team. Construction is scheduled to be completed by Spring of 2019.

Originally known as the Chieftan Hotel, the Bluffs Tower Historic Renovation is beginning construction.

Built between 1926-1927, the Bluffs Tower construction project is located in downtown Council Bluffs, Iowa. The building features four components. The Main Block is an 8-story high-rise with three attached wings: the Dining Room, Trianon Ballroom, and Loggia. Currently, the building bears the street address of 38 Pearl Street.

Floors 3-8 which house the residential units will be completely remodeled with new fixtures, cabinets, countertops and appliances while maintaining the historic fabric of the building. Floors 1 and 2 showcase many decorative plaster features which will be restored to their original form. Construction is scheduled for completion in early 2019. Ronco Construction is the general contractor with Emswiller Architecture leading the design team.
