LETTER

FROM THE PUBLISHERS The building industry is fascinating and intricate, there are many moving parts and different trades that go into building.

Predominately, this industry has been filled with men, but move over boys the ladies are stepping in and ready to change this stereotype. It is 2021 and we see a lot of women becoming more involved within the building industry and not just in the design process, but as concrete experts, project managers, home builders and finish carpenters.

Not only do you get to read all about these boss ladies, but check out how the Bismarck Mandan Professional Women in Building chapter renovated an entire room from carpet, paint, fixtures and trim work in their Master Bedroom Makeover. This group of ladies took a dull master bedroom and in only two weeks gutted it and made it a masterpiece. Read how the winner, Abby Krebs, won this makeover and her dream room.

We’re following the Heinle family through their new build over the next few issues. From beginning to end, here’s an exclusive look into what it takes to build a dream home.

RIVER + RANCH MAGAZINE | FOUNDATION TO FINISH

Good things come to those who wait is how the old saying goes, right? Well, patience is paying off as the Heinle family awaits moving into their Misty Waters home. Due to Covid and supply chain delays, we get to extend our coverage of this Prestige Homes & Design home and we’ll have one more installment that will include the big reveal for you in our next issue of River + Ranch.

FOUNDATION TO FINISH | RIVER + RANCH MAGAZINE

Since we last took a peek at the Heinle’s build, siding and windows are done, cabinets are going in, painting has started, and more finishing work is being completed.

The countertops are on backorder and some concessions had to be made in areas like lighting fixtures and the driveway.

Of the light fixtures Danette explains, “Sometimes it’s not the first or second pick, Shannon (Koski of Studio One Designs) has always been able to help us find something that will work and look great. I don’t feel like there’s anything we’ve picked out that I really don’t want in our house.”

RIVER + RANCH MAGAZINE | FOUNDATION TO FINISH

As for the driveway Justin was outvoted on the size. “I wanted a little more cement but those guys [Danette and Josh] thought it would look like a parking lot,” he says with a smile.

Even with these delays and changes, Justin and Danette remain excited. “Now that school has started, we’re not driving by every day. I’d say we probably drive by a couple times a week,” Danette explains. Justin adds, “It’s probably better this way because you can see more significant progress.”

All things considered, the Heinles would build again. “We would definitely do it again because you’re getting the house made exactly how you want it instead of trying to find something existing that almost works and isn’t quite what you wanted,” Justin explains. “Especially the spot we are in,” he says of their Misty Waters lot.

Another big reason the Heinles would go through the home building process is because of their builder Josh Kuntz of Prestige Home & Design. “Josh has been amazing to work with. It’s been seamless and it’s been a fun process,” Danette

Home Again a bedroom makeover

The Bismarck Mandan Professional Women in Building Council (BMPWB) embarked on a large project this summer to not only give back to the community, but celebrate the National PWB week. BMPWB represents women who are actively involved in all aspects of the building industry as builders, developers, remodelers, suppliers, architects, marketing experts, interior designers, realtors, mortgage lenders and trade contractors. The Council is an affiliate of the National Association of Home Builders. Their mission is to promote, enhance and support women within the construction industry as well as the next generation of the industry professionals. “In 2019, I joined the NAHB PWB Facebook page and was inspired by so many amazing women I didn’t even know. I then attended the International Builders Show and I met a lot of those NAHB PWB members face to face. I knew it was something I wanted to bring to our area and our local council has certainly exceeded all my expectations,” says Vicki Moran, President of the BMPWB and owner of Hallmark Homes.

Every year they celebrate PWB week nationally during September. This year’s PWB week was September 13th-17th and as a local council the BMPWB decided to give away a master bedroom makeover. One lucky family or individual won a full master bedroom remodel. They partnered with local builders, sub-contractors and other local businesses to make a master bedroom dream come true. This large

undertaking included new flooring, paint, light fixtures, furniture, bedding, décor and so much more. In their first year they had over 50 submissions and as a group chose the deserving single mom of two little boys, Abby Krebs.

“I entered the bedroom makeover to get a fresh new space. Since my husband passed away last year, I have been slowly updating our house to make it fresh, light and welcoming. My bedroom was one space I was stuck on and didn’t know what to

do, but it is one of the spaces in the house that I spend the most amount of time in.

I am so excited that I was chosen by this wonderful group of ladies to do this, it means so much to me that they have taken their time, resources and passion into this project for me,” says Abby Krebs.

Over the course of two weeks, only nine working days, the ambitious group of ladies transformed Abby’s room into a tranquil haven for her to relax and unwind in. This project was no easy task

and had many volunteers and community sponsors. “I enjoyed the opportunity of working and collaborating with a group of women that I otherwise would never get to do,” says Kari Anderson, one of the designers of Abby’s room and owner of Big River Builders. Nataly Anderson, worked with Kari on the design and layout of the bedroom for Abby and together their designs made Abby cry with joy. “I would say my favorite part of the makeover was watching Abby’s reaction, she is so deserving and is just the sweetest. It was

also great to work alongside other women in the industry, we all pulled together and brought our strengths to the table for a wonderful outcome,” says Nataly Anderson, interior designer/drafter for Tobias Marman Construction.

It was a daunting task at first, but well worth it in the end. The PWB Bismarck Mandan Chapter is excited is have finished their first year of the makeover and their first year as a recognized chapter this month.

RIVER + RANCH MAGAZINE | October-November 2021

Myhre Concrete was started in 2008 by Heidi Dietrich and her father. 13 years later, Heidi’s father is mostly retired and Heidi now runs and owns the majority of the company.

Myhre Concrete has earned a reputation as an outstanding concrete contractor thanks to Heidi’s dedication to her craft and perseverance over the years.

Heidi’s fascination with concrete started when she was still young. Her father owned his own concrete company in Washington, and Heidi loved helping him out with his work.

After he retired and her family moved back to Mandan, they had no intention of starting another business. Instead they planned on just doing side jobs, but, as Heidi recounts, “once the word got out that we knew a little about decorative concrete, the phone calls started coming in.” With such great interest from the Bismarck/Mandan community, Heidi made the decision to not finish her senior year of college and instead start a new concrete company with her father. The decision to open a company could not have come at a better time, and Myhre Concrete was able to build a name for themselves.

Myhre Concrete does all kinds of concrete, but their specialty is decorative concrete.

Big River Builders is owned by Kari and Jordan Anderson. They started their company 11 years ago and have created a well-known and trusted name in the building industry.

Big River Builders is an artisan builder who focuses on building creative and unique custom homes. No two homes built by Big River Builders have ever been the same.

Kari Anderson, owner and designer, loves everything light and airy in a house, but stays up-to-date on trends and makes sure each client’s personal style is being showcased, resulting in a completely unique build. In addition to new builds, Big River Builders also takes on many large-scale remodels.

Redford Signature Homes, a woman-owned business, has been open since 2007. As their name suggests, Redford Signature Homes specializes in building custom homes for their clients. Debbie Luptak is the owner and president, but she, “wear[s] almost all of the hats,” as she jokes. Debbie is excited about the growing number of women joining the building industry, a significant shift since she first opened her business in 2007.

Before Debbie opened Redford Signature Homes, she had been a teacher for 16 years. At that point, she realized she wanted a change of pace. Initially, she was going to simply start working for her husband Greg Luptak who owns Gregory Builders. However, after much discussion, Debbie decided to open

Linda and Mark Barstad have been working together almost as long as they have known each other. “Mark and I met when I was 16 and he was 17, high school sweethearts!” says Linda. “We dated for 4 years and married, 42 years in August. Time passes fast when you’re doing what you love next to someone who shares the same ideas.”

Around the same time they married, Mark started Barstad Builders. Initially, Mark worked on his new company’s book work after hours in their kitchen. Linda volunteered to take over the book work and get it done during the day. Since then, Linda has been an instrumental part of Barstad Builders, helping Mark from behind the scenes.

In addition to helping at Barstad Builders, Linda is a realtor at NextHome Fredricksen Real Estate in Williston. Linda decided to become a realtor 17 years ago when she became an empty nester. With Mark busy at night and her children gone, real estate was one way for her to keep busy. “I just thought, you know what, I’ll try it. I’ll see what happens,” explains Linda. After taking a

Sarah Grendahl, talented designer and coowner of Grendahl Design Company, started in the building industry after building her personal home with her husband Roger about five years ago. From there, the couple slowly started to take on other building projects until they made the leap to full time. They specialize in building market-ready homes or spec homes. These homes are move-in ready and take the stress out of the process needed to design your own home while still offering the benefits of a new home.

RIVER + RANCH MAGAZINE | October-November 2021

While some areas of the building industry have become more diverse, certain careers within the industry have remained almost entirely male. Welding is one of these fields.

Finding a female welder is extremely rare although they are always exceptional in their field. Della Wilkinson is one of these rare female welders who has needed to work extra hard just to do the work she is passionate about.

Della’s interest in welding started over 20 years ago when she worked as a pipe fitter and worked side by side with a welder. “My job was to measure, cut, fit them up, put them in a process area and install them, support them,” Della describes. “One day I was like, I want to weld… I was watching and I was thinking I could do that. So I never went to school for it! I just picked it up, took a test, and passed.”

After passing the test, Della worked for other companies before starting her own welding company, Buffalo Rock Stronghold LLC. Her business can do nearly any kind of welding, but her passion lies in custom pieces, made out of raw steel she buys from Pahlke Steel.

She creates artwork, gates, and signs in her own shop which she built. “My favorite part is

– THE RIGHT OWNER – story: Maria Fleck photos: NewAge Creative

Thanks to its highly publicized build, you may have already heard some of the stories behind this brand-new home. Headlines like “Cathedral District residents protest the building of small house” and “Vacant Lot Still Stirring Up Controversy” capture only one side of local business owner Anne Cleary’s path to home ownership in central Bismarck. The entire process, from the initial purchase of the lot to the completion of the build, took over five years.

Part of Anne’s initial struggle was the scarcity of options. “I wanted to stay in central Bismarck,” explains Anne. “It’s where I grew up, but there just weren’t a lot of property options that had what I felt like I needed. I didn’t want anything big, but a lot of the smaller ones are old. Some of them are well-maintained, some of them aren’t, so typically the ones in the budget I was shopping in are needing a lot more work. I just also wasn’t necessarily interested in living in a new development or on the fringe of town because I grew up walking to school, I grew up with my parents walking to work.

I own a business downtown so that was just kind of the ideal scenario for me.”

w w w . r i ver a n dr a nch m aga z i n e . com

Venture Real Estate, the agency Anne’s agent was with, had purchased the vacant lot on Mandan Street from the city of Bismarck through a public auction, and was waiting to sell it to the right person, someone already looking to build in the area. Anne, whose list of must-haves made her the perfect fit, met with Tanner Reidman, owner and designer at Plain View Build and Design, in 2015, and she bought the small 50-by-50 foot lot from Venture in 2016.

From there, the controversy and challenges began to mount. Because of the lot’s small size, Anne needed to obtain variances for its size, front-yard setback, and rear-yard setback. While there are many other examples of homes built on similarly sized lots, they were built when the neighborhood was initially built. While Anne and Plain View worked to get her variances approved, residents from around the area protested the building of Anne’s home, fearing that her new build would look out of place in a neighborhood listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Plain View Design and Build had done infill work before with the developments on Avenue B and 12th Street. “That is what I think sparked a lot of fear for what was going to go here. There was a lot of rumbling in the neighborhood. They were speculating what was going to be built,” says Tanner. While they were flushing out ideas for Anne’s home, Plain View built Kessel Run which also needed special permission which in turn helped them work through the ordinances particular to Anne’s home. Her initial variance and appeal was denied in 2016, but she persevered and finally secured permission to build her home in 2019. Thanks to the efforts of Anne and Plain View Design and Build, the city of Bismarck actually ended up adopting an infill and redevelopment plan for this area of town that did not exist before.

explains Tanner. The small work site also meant

all the panels, including exterior walls, had to be built off site by a local fabricator in a warehouse and then delivered. “Because of the constraints, I feel like the whole thing swung for the fences in regards to construction execution,” explains Logan Hauff, owner and project manager at Plain View Design and Build.

“We’re trying to do a foundation that no one has done in the city limits before, and we’re dealing with building officials to get that through and get that approved… it’s a small house that had huge challenges. I think the end product is really executed well and… it was a really good growth experience for us to take on not a typical project.”

The constraints and challenges were no match for the team at Plain View Build and Design, and Anne’s new home has been a sweet reward after all her hard work getting the build approved.

The different perspectives and ideas Anne, Tanner, Logan and the team at Plain View Design and Build brought to the table resulted in an impressive home, one unique to the area with all the character and charm of its neighbors.
