We’re excited to announce that Spark CDI has been selected as the 2026 recipient of Schemmer Gives Back!

Each year through Schemmer Gives Back, we donate professional architectural and engineering services to a nonprofit organization making a positive impact in our communities.

Spark CDI is doing important work across the Omaha metro through neighborhood revitalization, housing initiatives, community partnerships, and economic development efforts that help create long-term opportunities where they’re needed most.

We’re proud to support their mission and look forward to partnering together in the year ahead.

What a difference 16 months makes! 👏

This video captures the progress of Phase 1 of the TreeHouse Project in Council Bluffs from early framing work in January 2025 to a completed development in May 2026.

Watching the transformation from an active construction site into a finished space ready to serve the community has been exciting to see. Every stage tells part of the story, from the first structural framing to the final details coming together.

Phase 1 is now complete, and we're excited to see the momentum continuing for what’s ahead at TreeHouse!

You’ve probably noticed Schemmer looks a little different over the last week.

We recently rolled out a new logo and tagline:

Architecture | Engineering | +

The “plus” is a big part of the story. It reflects all the ways our teams support projects beyond traditional architecture and engineering. Things like surveying, interior design, materials testing, drone services, 3D scanning, and more.

It is a cleaner look, but it also does a better job telling the story of who Schemmer is today.

We share more about the refresh and the thinking behind it here:

We are excited to introduce a refreshed logo and brand identity that better reflects who we are as a company and the way we serve […]

The ground under a project can cause problems long before the building ever goes up.

Old creek beds, soft soils, moisture changes...there’s a lot happening underground across the Midwest that most people never think about until something starts cracking or shifting.

Geotechnical Engineer Ben Ficenec takes a look at the hidden side of construction and design, and why understanding soil conditions early matters more than people realize.

When most people look at a construction project, they focus on what is being built. The building, roadway, bridge, or finished development usually gets the […]

We recently spotted crews hoisting beams into place at the new pavilion at Papillion City Park, a big milestone that makes the project feel a little more real every day. Moments like this are exciting because you can finally start to see the vision take shape from the ground up.

While the crane work grabbed attention, there was also progress happening across the site. Schemmer survey crews were out staking future paths and walking trails that will help connect visitors throughout the park once construction is complete.

Projects like this are built piece by piece, and it’s rewarding to watch another community space begin coming to life in Papillion!

Proud to be part of this team with Confluence - Landscape Architecture!

In April, Team Schemmer laced up and hit the pavement for the 45th Annual Corporate Cup supporting the American Lung Association! 👟

With 22 employees and family members participating in the 10K, 5K, and 1-mile walk, it was a great day to get outside, support a meaningful cause, and spend time together outside the office.

Shoutout to Ana Salgado and Lona Smart for placing 3rd in their age groups, and Aria Wade for earning a 5th place finish! 🙌

Thanks to everyone who came out and represented Schemmer so well!
