Straub Squared – Special Projects Team Continues to Grow

Guest Author: Elliott Heitman

In May of 2016, Straub created a new division to handle specialty projects. Straub Squared, or S2, has been able to service a wide range of clientele and markets, from office tenant improvements to medical practices.

Initially, the team was a one-man show but has quickly grown to a five-person operation. Like any business, the people producing make all the difference, and S2 is no different. Our team is what makes us successful. We feel it’s important to create an environment that not only our employees want to be a part of but our clients as well.

The first time I met Ernie Straub, he mentioned that we need to “Make construction fun, again.” Well, I listened to Mr. Straub, and we strive to do just that with every project.

Construction can be a grind, but we try to bring a unique approach, look at things a little differently, and not take ourselves too seriously. And our clients noticing this has been key to our success. We’ve been lucky to work with great clients as well which also makes a big impact. We recently completed a renovation of the BPU office in Kansas City, Kansas and are excited to be working with UMKC renovating their School of Medicine.
