Fifty years in construction isn’t just a milestone — it’s a testament to doing things the right way, day in and day out. Since 1976, Ronco Construction (roncoconstruction.com) has grown into a trusted partner known for delivering complex projects with precision, integrity and a people-first approach.
“This anniversary marks more than a look back; it’s a celebration of the relationships, the projects and the team members who made it possible,” said Zak Olsen, president and CEO. “The biggest factor in our success has been our people-first culture. We prioritize our team members above all else and create an environment that allows them to flourish.”
Ron and Linda Olsen started Linde Construction in 1976 as a union shop specializing in commercial construction. In 1983, they started Ronco Construction as a non-union counterpart. The two companies operated side by side until merging in 2003, creating a stronger, unified foundation for long-term growth. The company’s expansion into Kansas City in 2020 reflected its commitment to bringing the same level of responsiveness, quality and relationship-driven service to new markets — without losing what sets it apart.
Throughout the company’s tenure, notable projects include:
- UNO Circulation Tower
- Offutt Building 500 Renovation
- Dillion Inn Hotel
- Two Springs Elementary
- Lincoln County City Building
- UNL City Campus Utility Plan Expansion
- Pacific Street Bridge
- Blackstone Station
- Hilton Hampton Inn & Suites
- Aerie Blue Sage
