Heartland Builders – A Summit Engineering & Construction Company
Heartland Builders Company is a full-service general contractor founded in Columbus, Nebraska. Established in 1988, we earned the recognition as a high quality, customer driven contractor in the construction of protein production facilities. We maintain control over every facet of our projects with our in-house team. Our protein production expertise, unequaled customer commitment, and pride in our workmanship give our customers peace-of-mind as well as a remarkable facility.
Our commitment to our team, passion for our customers, broad experience, and Midwest values are what led to the partnership with Summit Engineering & Construction in 2016. This partnership equips us to serve the US, combining Heartland Builders’ quality construction with Summit Engineering & Constructions’ industry leading technical, engineering, design, and innovation capabilities.
