To meet the construction growth in the Upper Midwest, Kraus-Anderson has opened a new regional office in Fargo, North Dakota, at 1100 NP Avenue.
The office’s regional director is Ross Wilmes, who serves as Kraus-Anderson’s vice president and director of operations for North Dakota. He is an industry veteran with a thorough understanding of the region, having built solid relationships with regional and local owners, architects, engineers, subcontractors and suppliers over the last 25 years.
His project management experience includes working with schools, healthcare, higher-education, state and local governments, Native American tribes and the military, as well as with the private sector.
In the past five years, KA has delivered dozens of notable projects in the Fargo area totaling nearly $300 million. Clients include North Dakota State University (NDSU), City of West Fargo, Coborn’s, Hornbacher’s and Dakota Carrier Network. The company is currently building NDSU’s Peltier Complex and is in preconstruction planning for NDSU’s Field Soils Lab Facility, which will be KA’s seventh project on the campus since 2017.
Al Gerhardt, Kraus-Anderson’s president and chief operating officer says the company is well positioned to manage huge opportunities in the pipeline, which are in excess of hundreds of millions of dollars.
