Cramer & Associates

Our History and Mission

Expansion Cramer and Associates, Inc. (formerly Cramer Brothers, Inc.) has been a cornerstone in the construction industry for over 50 years. Founded by Del Cramer, the company started with humble beginnings, building and repairing bridges, culverts, and dams. Our story begins with Del's journey after graduating from Iowa State University with a degree in Agricultural Engineering in 1950. He worked as an inspector for the Iowa Department of Transportation and later teamed up with Harold Oliphant to start their own construction company. Over the years, the company grew and evolved, incorporating in 1965 under the name Cramer Brothers, Inc. Today, we are proud to announce our expansion into Cramer Land Development, offering hundreds of properties in the Des Moines Area for your dream home.
