Project Spotlight: Ideal Ready Mix Steel Warehouse in Ottumwa, Iowa
Calculated Construction, LLC is proud to announce the completion of a new operations facility for Ideal Ready Mix in Ottumwa, Iowa. The project was completed in collaboration with The Rasmussen Group, Ideal’s parent company and a longstanding leader in construction and materials services across the Midwest.
Building for Growth in Southeast Iowa
This new steel warehouse expands Ideal Ready Mix’s operational footprint in southeast Iowa, supporting the company’s growing concrete and materials business in the region. From sitework to final construction, Calculated Construction led the project with a focus on durability, efficiency, and long-term performance.
“This project was a great example of teamwork and trusted partnerships,” said Jordan Kramer, owner of Calculated Construction.
“Ideal Ready Mix has a strong reputation across Iowa, and we were honored to build a facility that will support their continued growth in the Ottumwa area.”
Steel Construction That Performs
