Commercial Construction
The Construction Division’s history goes back to the very beginning of Hampton Enterprises in 1947. Throughout that time we have constructed nearly every type of building: laboratories, schools, movie theaters, arenas, manufacturing facilities, hospitals, dental, medical, churches, grocery stores, restaurants, retail and offices. In addition to new construction, Hampton has renovated or constructed additions to hundreds of these same types of buildings across Nebraska and built out space for countless tenants or other lessee’s using our dedicated tenant finish team.
The most common concerns people have when they are considering constructing a building is how long will it take, how much will it cost and how do they know they’re getting a quality building. We’ve designed our processes around those very questions. We are committed to delivering the best possible quality for a reasonable price as well as providing accurate budgets and realistic schedules for every project to minimize or eliminate negative surprises.
Hampton has the feel of a homegrown company but with the benefit of the experience, expertise and best practices of companies dozens of times larger. At the end of the day we still hold ourselves to Joe’s standard, and doing things The Hampton Way, by asking, “Did we build this as if we built it for ourselves?”

Our Services
Regardless of whether you are constructing a new building or addition, renovating an existing building or completing a tenant finish - the means, or delivery method, by which the project is designed and constructed is an important consideration prior to beginning a project. Your decision will have a significant impact on cost, risk and the overall schedule.
The sections below describe the most commonly used types of project delivery methods – all of which are offered by Hampton.
Design-Bid-Build (DBB)
The DBB delivery method is the “traditional” means of delivering a construction project. Typically the only criteria for selection of a contractor in DBB projects is the lowest construction price. This method is also often referred to as low-bid or hard-bid.
The DBB method is typically the most familiar to those in the industry. In theory it has the ability to deliver a low-cost project. However, since this method isolates the contractor from the design process, there is a high potential for project cost increases as well as construction delays due to conflicts between the design documents and the constructability of the project in the field. Also, selecting a low bidder can result in a decrease in the quality of the finished product, as the contractor must often determine ways of achieving a profit on the job, working under a budget that was the lowest of all contractors submitting pricing.
In general, the DBB process is best used on projects that are simple and not under a tight time crunch.
Sandy Loy, President of Construction Plus, Inc. says about DBB “It costs more, takes longer and statistically creates more litigation than other options. It is a series of adversarial relationships waiting to happen.”
Construction Manager (CM)
Construction Manager, sometimes referred to as At Risk (CM-R) is a relatively new type of project delivery method. Using this method, the owner selects a “Construction Manager” (CM) who is responsible for building the project. The selection of the CM is made using criteria such as quality, proven track record, detailed project approach and ability to meet the schedule of the project more so than just construction cost.
The selected CM becomes a project team member early on in the project process and, working directly with the owner and the architects and engineers, provides input as the project moves through design into construction - input on items such as project budget, construction cost estimating and the overall schedule as well as providing review of design drawings to identify constructability issues and potential cost savings. Typically the pricing of the construction is begun early in the design process, and is refined as the design progresses with a final guaranteed maximum price (GMP) provided to the owner prior to beginning of construction.
The CM process is most successful in projects that require high quality and are under pressure to finish in a limited time. This process may also be applicable to some projects that involve complex integration between disciplines or multiple phases of construction, where the oversight and coordination delivered by a construction manager is extremely beneficial.
Hampton strongly advocates for the CM method because of the transparent nature of the contract (e.g. cost-plus based on actual invoices) and the early collaboration between owner, architect and contractor which results in a fewer surprises, faster construction schedule, which lowers cost and far better relationships during and after the completion of the project.
Design-Build (DB)
In a design-build project, the design and construction are contracted to a single company – typically the contractor. Since the team is responsible for both the design and the construction components, pricing changes are kept to a minimum, and are usually isolated only to those instances where unknown conditions or owner requests necessitate cost increases.
The DB method provides the ability to deliver a project on a tight schedule, as projects can be split up and delivered in a package approach, where individual components are designed and built as needed to achieve the final completion date. Generally the owner can establish a firm maximum price of the project early on, and has a significant amount of cost control.
Design build is typically used for construction projects where the owner has clearly established the requirements prior to design. It can also be an appropriate method when schedule is a concern, as it removes the components of the schedule that would typically be consumed by the bidding and procurement process.

The Hampton team has been absolutely great to work with. They told us what they were going to do – they delivered on it. They also have been very attentive. We’ve never had to ask them to follow up on anything. We’re busy doing our job and they’re busy doing theirs and they are great to work with – absolutely.
Executive Director
NMPP Energy
View This Project“Throughout the entire project cycle, Hampton was very responsive to client requests, issues, and concerns, even when doing so required additional resources and acceleration of the construction schedule to remain on track with an already aggressive occupancy plan. As the project progressed, it became clear to me that Mr. Hampton’s comment about customer service was completely true, and that customer satisfaction was indeed an overriding goal shared by everyone on the Hampton team.”
Project Manager
Department of Veterans Affairs
“From the very beginning, we realized the enormous challenges in bringing in a successful completion of this near total renovations project. Concept drawings were brought to the table and Hampton helped to identify the work, develop a schedule and fine tune the budget. In the end, Hampton made promises that they kept. They brought the project in on time and under budget.”
President of Pearson Architects
Country Club of Lincoln
"It was a pleasure to work with a contractor that operates with Integrity. Our business is built on connections and relationships we establish through taking care of our clients. In your commitment to our project, you reflected those same values. From returning calls and answering questions to your professional and timely response to our concerns, you showed that you cared."
President
UNICO Group, Inc.
"We have had good response from Hampton in addressing any issues. They were quick to accept calls from me and address issues that came up. I met every week with the superintendents. We have good communication. They have accommodated our needs, as we have theirs. It has been a good partnership, and as we said very early in the project, we have been good neighbors (and this goes both ways). They understand what can and cannot happen in the building, especially when students and staff are here. There has been give and take both ways, and a lot of compromising on both sides when possible."

Lincoln Public Schools, Irving Middle School
"Hampton’s consistent and professional behavior post substantial completion confirmed to our management that that they meant it when they said they were committed to our project – and still continue to be."
Corporate Operations Manager
Aurora Cooperative
"The quality of work exemplified by Hampton is outstanding. The safety protocol and standards followed by Hampton and its subcontractors is top notch. Our new elementary building looks fantastic, beyond what we had envisioned. It is a place our students will be able to enjoy and benefit for generations to come, thanks to the quality craftsmanship of your company. Every detail has been taken care of. In addition to the quality building you are providing us, I want to thank you for the smooth construction process. Your company is an example of professionalism, demonstrated in every interaction with foremen and workers. Your communication with our district has been outstanding."
District Superintendent
Adams Central Public Schools
"I congratulate Hampton for delivering the finished building to Region V Services ahead of schedule and on budget. It is significant to have a project executed with zero change orders. The construction schedule was aggressive from the start, and regardless, your team was able to complete the building nearly a month in advance of the contract date for substantial completion. These achievements are a testament to the integrity of Hampton. I would not hesitate to recommend Hampton to clients in the future."
Senior Architect, Schemmer Architects, Engineers, Planners
Region V Services
"Hampton's quality of work was great. They built it the way we wanted it built. There was no deviating, just consistency and attention to detail. This is the first time we've used a company for this many projects in a row, and it really says something about Hampton's quality. We've found that they've been consistent and easy to work with, so we've kept using them."
District Manager
Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers
"I would do another project with Hampton any day; it has been incredibly smooth. I appreciate the way Hampton employees did things right, paid attention to details and treated the building as if it was their own."
Lead Pastor

"We knew this is not an easy project, and we needed a contractor that is knowledgeable and highly skilled. Hampton has been very informative and creative in the different construction approach to keep the cost from going up even higher."
Owner

"Hampton was cooperative and responsive to our concerns and ideas. Their communication during the project was terrific. I would highly endorse Hampton for any project and hope to work with them on future projects."
