Ironhide Construction

What Ironhide Construction does

Ironhide Construction is a Nebraska-based general contractor and construction manager founded in 2008 by Troy Bridgford and Jeff Wolgamott, two friends who started with expertise in steel erection and metal buildings. The company provides full-scope commercial construction services including General Contracting, Construction Management, Preconstruction Consulting, Design-Bid-Build, Design-Build, and specialized Metal Building Systems using Chief Buildings pre-engineered metal building (PEMB) products, including insulated metal panels and standing seam roof systems. Its core technical capability is the assembly of pre-engineered metal building systems for athletic complexes, warehouses, manufacturing plants, retail, office, and agricultural structures, supported by an integrated service offering that spans concept design through final walkthrough.

The company is headquartered in Lincoln, Nebraska with regional offices in Omaha and North Platte, positioning it to serve all major Nebraska metros and extending projects into Kansas, Iowa, Texas, Missouri, South Dakota, Colorado, and Kansas City. Revenue is generated through project-based fixed-price contracts, construction management fees, cost-plus arrangements, and Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) contracts; pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed, with formal project pricing established only after site evaluation. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and relationship-driven, sourcing projects through referrals, direct inquiries, and a regional subcontractor network, with owner access to Procore for transparent project management.

Ironhide serves a diverse customer base spanning enterprise and SMB clients across at least nine verticals including agriculture (John Deere, Zoetis), pharmaceutical (Staska), railroad (BNSF Railway), banking (US Bank), healthcare (Bryan Health), education (University of Nebraska-Lincoln), government (USDA), retail (Ace Hardware), and food service (Round The Bend Steakhouse, Le Quartier). The company operates without disclosed external funding rounds and maintains organic, founder-led ownership with a built-out executive team including a CFO, Director of Project Management, Director of Field Operations, and Director of Human Resources.
