Roloff Construction

What Roloff Construction does

Roloff Construction (legal name Roloff Construction Co Inc.) is a 100% employee-owned heavy/civil construction contractor headquartered in southwest Omaha, Nebraska, founded in 1975 by Lorenze G. "Larry" Roloff in Louisville, NE. The firm builds underground infrastructure for public-sector and private development clients, with three core service lines: sanitary and storm sewer systems (4"–144" diameter pipe, 4'–40+' depth, across concrete, clay, ductile iron, steel, PVC, HDPE, and CCFRPM materials), clean water distribution systems (1"–60" diameter pipe), and a slip-form concrete paving division launched in 1993 that uses GPS and total station-enabled string-less paving equipment for city streets, residential streets, roadways, turn lanes, and parking lots. Named municipal clients include the City of Omaha (on its combined sewer separation/CSO program) and the City of Council Bluffs (riverfront infrastructure).

The company operates primarily in the greater Omaha/Council Bluffs metropolitan area and rural communities in Nebraska and Iowa, delivering fixed-price, project-based contracts through direct bidding on government infrastructure work. Its go-to-market is sales-led and reputation-driven, supported by trade-association involvement in NUCA, Nebraska-LICA, and the Nebraska Chamber of Commerce, plus infrastructure advocacy (Kara Habrock served as 2017-18 NUCA Chairwoman). It is led by an executive team installed in 2004 when Kara Habrock (now President & CEO), Monty Habrock (VP, Estimating & PM), Bob Norris (VP/COO), and Ron Siwa (VP/CFO) purchased a majority stake from the founder. The employment model emphasizes Day 1 profit sharing, 401(k), paid vacation/holidays, and internal promotion from laborer to superintendent, which the firm cites as a key differentiator in skilled-trades retention.

Revenue mechanics are project-based, one-time contract awards with government, municipal, and private-sector buyers; pricing is bid-specific and not publicly disclosed. The firm has no disclosed funding rounds, no institutional investors, and no app, API, or software product surface — it is a pure services contractor with an equipment fleet anchored to precision grading and paving hardware. Scale is mid-sized within the U.S. heavy/civil utility and paving subcontractor segment, with headcount indicated at 101–250 and no revenue publicly disclosed.
