Lueder Construction

What Lueder Construction does

Lueder Construction is a privately held, full-service general contractor and construction manager headquartered at 9999 J St in Omaha, Nebraska, in continuous operation since 1884 when it was founded as A.C. Busk. Roy M. Lueder acquired full ownership in 1940 and the business passed to his son Robert (Bob) Lueder, growing from a small Omaha masonry firm into a regional contractor serving the Greater Omaha and Council Bluffs Metro across Nebraska and Iowa. The company is led today by CEO Greg Key and President/COO Alan Kennedy, with a workforce of 101–250, and operates with no disclosed parent company, funding rounds, or external ownership.

The firm delivers ground-up construction, renovation, design-build, and preconstruction services through four structured service lines: Construction Management (superintendent-led day-to-day execution and OAC coordination), Preconstruction (strategic planning, constructibility review, and budgeting), Self-Perform Services (in-house rough/finish carpentry, demolition, and general labor), and a Facilities Solutions Group covering industrial, commercial, manufacturing, healthcare, finance, tenant finish, and ground-up work. It also operates an in-house Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) capability built on BIM, including 4D phased-construction modeling, BIM-based quantity estimating, multi-discipline 3D coordination via Autodesk Construction Cloud, and reality capture using Leica scanners to support clash detection and project documentation.

Lueder generates revenue through project-based, custom-quoted engagements with multi-year contract cadences, sold directly to project owners, developers, architects, school districts, healthcare systems, hospitality operators, and nonprofit organizations. Customer mix spans at least eight verticals — community, education, hospitality, light industrial, multi-family, nonprofit, religious, and tenant improvement/renovation — and the visible project record includes the Kimpton Cottonwood Hotel, Onyx Automotive, H+H Chevrolet of Omaha, Hope Lodge for the American Cancer Society, Westside Middle School, Creighton University Medical Center, and Dewey Park Apartments. Marketing is relationship-led through the company website, project portfolio case studies, and direct phone/contact-form outreach; the firm maintains no public pricing tiers, app, or external API.
