About Us
Otte Construction is a full-service construction company in Northeast Nebraska that offers pre-construction, general construction, construction management, and conceptual design services in the commercial and residential markets.
Otte Construction views all projects with the same level of importance and applies the following strategies to projects large and small: hands-on professional supervision, reliable estimating and budgeting, accurate timetables, and attention to detail.
In 1928, Karl Otte, Sr. began constructing homes in Northeast Nebraska and progressed into a commercial builder specializing in churches. In the late 1950s, three of Karl's sons, Karl, Kurt, and Paul followed in the same steps as their father as they assumed control of the company and continued to maintain Otte Construction's reputation for quality craftsmanship.
A third generation joined the company in 1994 in order to continue the family business as Karl, Kurt, and Paul neared retirement. Jeff Morlok purchased the company from his uncles and was joined by his cousin, Keith Moje, to help lead the company.
Keith became the owner of Otte Construction in April of 2012. He is committed to preserving the excellent reputation that is synonymous with the Otte Construction name and is dedicated to the principals upon which Karl, Sr. built the company: integrity, quality craftsmanship, and hard work.
