Prost Builders is currently working on two large concrete projects. The first project is for Jefferson City School District’s Capital City High School, which is getting a new stadium and press box for its football and soccer fields. This $4 million project will provide solid and long-lasting seating for the school district.
The second project is for Columbia Public Schools’ Jefferson Middle School. This addition and renovation project provides a new gymnasium and locker rooms for the school, as well as upgrading ADA entrances into the school. Prost Builders value engineered the gymnasium with a precast double tee roof structure, saving the school more than $300,000.00, which solved a bar joist schedule delivery problem at the same time. Prost Builders is the general contractor on this $11 million project.
“As a general contractor who can self-perform certain aspects of the project, we can better control the budget and schedule and the quality of the work. We are proud of our ability as a general contractor to self-perform our concrete and carpentry work. We are not a ‘suitcase’ general contractor who comes to town and mans the project with one superintendent and subcontracts all the work,” says Vaughn Prost, P.E. and President of Prost Builders.
Pro-Prost J.V., a Service-Disabled Veteran Enterprise, is proud to have self-performed the concrete work on the new Harry S. Truman Memorial Veteran’s Hospital parking garage structure (Phase 1). Construction of this new parking garage has solved the lack of parking spaces on the hospital campus.
