Parkway School District selected Poettker Construction Company as its Construction Manager at Risk (CMaR) for the 6-year 2022 Bond Program, which kicked off in 2023.
This multi-year initiative will provide facility improvements across the district focused on the community’s priorities for:





Capital replacement, maintenance and repairs
Technology improvements
Accessibility for all students
Safe and accessible play
Enhanced classrooms, restrooms, cafeterias, early childhood and athletic facilities.
Schools are designed to provide students with a safe and accessible place for teaching, learning, and experiences to occur. Poettker Construction understands this. Our young students had a front-row seat to the design process and trade professions, which we believe are assets for teaching the whole child. The people of Poettker Construction were a pleasure with which to work. The site superintendent, project manager, and project director became a part of our school family. Construction of such magnitude comes with challenges, but this team’s communication and collaboration kept us moving positively toward the goal. We now have two beautiful classroom additions and added safety features so that River Bend students can continue to learn and grow.”
This is my third round of bond projects and the third construction company I’ve worked with. So I want to take a moment to recognize when things are going well. Throughout this process, I’ve been consistently impressed and genuinely enjoyed working with several members of your team. They’ve been approachable, communicative, collaborative, and I believe they’ve gone above and beyond to make sure everything runs smoothly. While I’m not involved in the day-to-day construction management, I want to specifically acknowledge your team. Their professionalism and work ethic have stood out over the past several months. You should be proud of how they represent your company.”
The Poettker team is knocking it out of the park — delivering projects seamlessly throughout the preconstruction, bidding, and construction phases. It is refreshing to work with a team that makes us feel comfortable by doing their homework, minimizing surprises, and giving us peace of mind. Communication has been excellent, with regular meetings, timely updates, and strong collaboration between Poettker, Parkway, and the design teams. Quality and safety have been very good, budgets are well-managed, and the team is professional, friendly, and always responsive to our Board of Education, the district’s facilities team, and faculty at each building.”
