New Construction

Pure Hair + Beauty Lounge

Business owner and visionary, Stacey Spillum, worked with Bush Construction to develop “Utica & 56,” a modern commercial building to house three tenant spaces in addition to her studio, Pure Hair + Beauty Lounge. We worked hand-in-hand with Stacey to design Pure Hair + Beauty Lounge and two other tenant spaces. Features of the aesthetically pleasing building include an abundance of natural light and a modern, minimal design. We couldn’t be more pleased to help Stacey achieve her vision of a creative collection of spaces that compliment each other.

 

TBK Bank

TBK Bank, SSB, a subsidiary of Triumph Bancorp, Inc., opened its new Midwest headquarters in a brand new building on Grant Street in downtown Bettendorf, Iowa. The innovation-rich headquarters occupies approximately 36,000 SF, spans three stories, and features a custom fabricated staircase, open office workstations, collaboration areas, private offices, a large kitchen with café-style seating, and multiple conference rooms. The bank’s grand entrance balances security and comfort.

This interior-build out also includes custom wallpaper branding and high-end light fixtures, acoustic ceiling panels, and sound baffles. Two full-sized murals designed and painted by Quad City Arts youth participants are located off the second and third-floor elevator lobbies.

Edward Jones

The client, an Edward Jones financial advisor, was looking not only at having their own office space but also creating spaces to be leased to complementing businesses. Our design and construction teams worked with the client to realize a building that both satisfied their design requirements and fit nicely into the transitional area between commercial and residential spaces. We coordinated work with the client’s private contractor on their tenant fit-out to ensure a successful transition from building shell to tenant space.

The Captain’s Table

After a structure fire destroyed the Captain’s Table, a longtime Quad-City area restaurant located alongside the bank of the Mississippi River, Bush Construction worked with the owners to rebuild the 6,000 square feet restaurant and 2,000 square feet patio.

The project consisted of:

  • Reworking the sites and stabilizing the soils of the new building’s footprint.
  • Pouring and stripping new concrete parking lots.
  • Installing concrete ramps and pouring stairs that lead into the building.
  • Installing a small deck for the entrance to the kitchen and a riverfront patio/deck for outdoor dining, built using large glulam beams and composite deck boards.

Bush Construction also installed two complex door systems called Win-Dor folding doors. These door systems lead to the large dining patio. On the exterior of the building, we installed fiber cement siding, metal fascia, metal soffit, a flat TPO roof, and a shingled roof. The indoor dining areas consist of LVT floors, painted walls, and painted wood siding and exposed ceilings with painted duct.

The main entry has a storefront vestibule/waiting area with a custom hostess stand. The bar also includes custom waiter stations, bar top, and shelving for behind the bar. To complete the bar area, Bush Construction installed painted wood siding and cedar wood ceilings.

Lastly, the state-of-the-art commercial kitchen includes a keg cooler and a large cooler for food storage with a freezer on the inside as well. The finishes include FRP walls, acoustical ceiling tiles on the ceiling, and Protect All flooring. The kitchen also includes a massive 35-foot vent hood hanging above the cooking area.

Smart Luxury Motors of Quad Cities

Bush Construction had the distinct pleasure of building the Smart Luxury Motors of the Quad Cities automotive facility that is home to Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Volkswagen. The brand-new building features state-of-the-art design and functionality for the sales and maintenance departments, consisting of open full glass with high-end tile, paint, and ceiling finishes. This project is part of Lujack’s expansion project and is located on the corner of 53rd Street and Eastern Avenue in Davenport.

Bettendorf Community School District | Mark Twain

The Bettendorf Board of Education approved a six-year facility plan that included demolishing the 62-year-old Mark Twain Elementary School and building a brand new space to house both Mark Twain and Thomas Jefferson students.

Mark Twain’s new 21st-century facility includes a learning stair, natural lighting with windows overlooking Duck Creek, learning pods, collaboration areas, a secure entrance, a new gym, library, and common areas. The new school is adjacent to the old school, which has been demolished for additional parking, playground and green space.

In addition, Bush Construction donated two custom shelves that team members thoughtfully fabricated out of a salvaged beam from the original school. Now, students, faculty and staff will be able to carry memories from their former school to their new school.

At the ribbon-cutting, Mark Twain Elementary halls were filled with joy and excitement. “It’s a new beginning. It’s a start for all of us in a brand new building. We’re excited to dig in and teach and learn in a new facility,” said Caroline Olson, Principal at Mark Twain.

In addition, Adam Holland, School Board President for Bettendorf Schools and Assistant Vice President, Commercial Banker at Northwest Bank said, “The team at Bush Construction did an outstanding job as the CM for our new Mark Twain Elementary School. From the moment we began the process, they were not just a hired firm, but a partner in every step of the process. Any issues that arose throughout the process were communicated in a timely manner and solutions were provided as well.”

According to the school’s fact sheet, the new school design brings more space, more light, more community use, and more flexible learning opportunities for the Bettendorf community.

Davenport Public Library | Eastern Avenue Branch

The Davenport Public Library Eastern Avenue Branch project included the construction of a new 25,800 SF LEED-certified public library. The work involved a steel frame on standard concrete footings and foundations, stone and masonry exterior on metal stud back-up, a metal panel on metal stud back-up, aluminum windows, storefront and entry systems, and membrane roof. Building systems included new HVAC, electrical, plumbing, fire protection, and communications. The Mechanical GSHP system was dependent on a vertical geothermal well field located on-site. Site features included a Children’s Garden, reinforced turf area for outdoor events, and landscape features to support the LEED criteria for stormwater management. Building components included administrative support areas, public meeting rooms, a computer area, and a public reading room with Adult, Teen and Children’s collections.

Rock Island Center for Math & Science

The Rock Island Center for Math and Science is a choice magnet school for pre-kindergarten through sixth-grade. This school is the Quad Cities field office for the Illinois Math and Science Academy, based in Aurora, Illinois. This new construction facility was built in the heart of Rock Island, Illinois, on almost 10 acres of wooded nature trails. The school was designed to allow teachers the opportunity to make learning exciting in creative, innovative, and flexible ways.

The 65,000 SF facility consists of multi-purpose classrooms, science and math rooms, a media center, a gymnasium, a cafeteria, a full-service kitchen, and community rooms. The majority of this facility is heated and cooled by the use of high-efficiency heat pumps. This keeps energy consumption costs low but allows end-users greater flexibility in zone control.

Green Family Hyundai

This spacious new Green Family Hyundai car dealership features a glass atrium showroom, service write-up drives, quick-lube bays, service department, detail department and parts department. The dealership is also complete with a fully automatic car wash. The dealership has installed an innovative system that uses waste-oil from oil changes as heating fuel. These waste products never have to leave the facility, since Green Hyundai stores the oil in a 7,000-gallon tank. The waste-oil is used to fuel forced-air furnaces, which heat the shop and service areas. Green Hyundai also uses rooftop natural gas heating units to warm the administrative/office areas.

Zimmerman Honda

Zimmerman Honda is a new car dealership that features a spacious showroom, standard and express service bays, and an automatic car wash bay. Zimmerman Honda features an efficient system that uses waste oil from oil changes as heating fuel. The oil is stored in a 6,000-gallon storage tank, so it never has to leave the facility. Zimmerman Honda uses radiant floor heating in its automotive shop and detail areas. Also, the dealership uses rooftop natural gas heating units to warm the administrative/office areas.
