D. Robert (Bob) Downing formed Downing Construction, Inc. in 1966. In his first year he built five houses plus a four-plex apartment building. A few years later the company began commercial building. The Indianola based company became an authorized Varco-Pruden dealer in 1976.

In 1966 when Mr. Downing started the company he built the foundation on Customer Satisfaction. That foundation is what we continue to build on today. Downing Construction cares as much about building relationships as we do about the buildings we construct.
 
 

Denis Frischmeyer is the President of Downing Construction, Inc. Denis joined the organization in 2000. Bob chose Denis to succeed him because he knew that Denis shared his vision of customer commitment. He also knew that Denis would provide the same type of leadership that has resulted in the respect we have built in the business community over the last 40 years.

Our commitment to customer satisfaction is underlined by the fact that we provide a one year warranty on all projects. Our customers appreciate our single source accountability for project results. They show their loyalty by providing over 60% of our project load in repeat work and referrals.

Clients may choose from several construction approaches - including construction management or design-build. A competent project manager monitors the construction process, and having in-house staff design-build the project provides a smooth working relationship from start to finish.

We are large enough to have expertise on staff, yet small enough to provide personal service. Our clients range from families building first-time homes to corporations adding multi-million dollar structures. Since 1966 more than 2,000 projects have been constructed with the Downing trademark of quality.

We are proud of our history and excited about our future. Our team of project managers and superintendents are committed to understanding your needs and giving you superior customer service throughout the planning and building process.
