Newkirk Novak News

We celebrate safety as our most important commitment on a daily basis, all year-round – especially in our industry. Construction Safety Week provides a great opportunity to bring awareness, refocus, and adjust our efforts as we continue keeping our sites, workers, employees and clients safe at all times.

Together with Platte County School District and Incite Design Studio, Newkirk Novak Construction Partners celebrated the groundbreaking for the first phase of the Platte County High School rebuild. Phase 1 of the rebuild involves relocation of the baseball field to make room for a classroom, cafeteria and athletic addition. The existing baseball staduim provided the perfect location for the ceremony after the Pirates played their last home game on the field. Project completion is schedule for spring of 2023. 

After a multi-step process, Newkirk Novak has been selected Construction Manager At-Risk for Excelsior Springs School District's 2020 bond program. Voters will head to the polls in April to decide on the $23.5 million dollar program, which includes a new elementary school and other district-wide improvements. 

Friday we held our first annual Battle of the Bowls chili cook-off and Halloween party. Congratulations to Brandon Bell for winning the coveted Golden Bowl trophy! We had lots of creative costumes, including several versions of our very own John Novak. With kids running around, pumpkins to decorate and more food than any of us needed, it was a ton of fun.
