The St. George office is Big-D’s newest addition to the Big-D Family of Companies. After decades of work in southern Utah, this new office enables us to better serve area clients by having a full-time presence. As St. George is projected to see extraordinary growth in the years to come, we are excited at the opportunities to play a part in building the future.
The St. George office is led by a team of outstanding construction professionals who consistently demonstrate the standards we were founded on. We call it The Big Idea and it is centered around Respect, People, and Truth. We give equal respect to employees and customers, we assemble the best people in the business to work on projects, and we always build with truth and integrity – if we say it, we do it. Just as Big-D Construction seeks to be the most sought-after construction company in the business, the St. George office has a similar goal of being the number one construction company in Southern Utah.

Experience

The Big-D Idaho Falls office began, in earnest, in 2013 when a project construction team with ties to Eastern Idaho was relocated to Rexburg, Idaho to manage the construction of the Central Energy Facility project at BYU-Idaho. Company leadership then discovered there were other employees from Eastern Idaho eager to pursue more work locally. In turn, Big-D encouraged their eagerness and desire to establish a presence throughout Eastern Idaho. That presence continued to grow until Big-D officially opened a regional office in Idaho Falls in 2018.
Big-D Idaho Falls is proud to offers clients the ability to work directly with a local contractor who can devote a higher level of attention to projects, typical of a smaller contractor, but who is also backed by the significant resources of a much larger firm. With Big-D Idaho Falls you receive the best of both worlds – the dedication of an earnest small contractor and the resources, professionalism, and experience of a much larger organization.
While the roots of Big-D Construction are ever-expanding, our Idaho Falls office takes a community-centered approach to our work. On every project, our priorities include strengthening local economies and creating jobs for existing residents by supporting local merchants, vendors, suppliers, and retailers.

Idaho Falls, Idaho

The Big-D Lindon office opened in 2005 with the focus to increase Big-D’s presence in Utah County. The Lindon office constructs a wide range of project types annually, with key market sectors being commercial buildings, higher education facilities, multi-family housing, industrial, and mining projects. Big-D Lindon is a fully self-sufficient office, able to offer comprehensive Preconstruction and Construction services, and is staffed with a Preconstruction Director, a team of estimators, and a variety of market-specific construction team members.
Building and maintaining local client relationships has always been the driving factor for the Lindon office but being local for their employees who appreciate working on projects close to home and minimizing long commutes is equally as important. Just as Big-D Construction seeks to be the most sought-after construction company in the business, the Lindon office has a similar goal of being the number one construction company in Utah County.

Big-D Construction was founded in 1967 in Ogden. It was our original home, first headquarters, and where it all started. The Ogden office is where our company culture and core values were forged and where Big Dee and his founding leaders built a company based on equal respect for customers and employees. A company based on honesty and integrity. A company where there is no difference between what we say and what we do. The Ogden operation grew quickly, taking on larger and more notable projects in the food and beverage processing, manufacturing and industrial warehouse sectors. This office of humble beginnings marked many of Big-D Construction’s significant “firsts” – first $1 million annual revenue, first million-dollar single project, and first large scale, multi-million-dollar contract.
Today, Big-D Ogden serves as both the northern Utah regional office and the homebase of our Big-D National Food &amp; Beverage division. Their primary focus is still food and beverage processing, warehouse/distribution, and manufacturing facilities. Nearly 95% of Big-D Ogden’s projects are from longstanding repeat clients and their footprint continues to grow for their Food &amp; Beverage unit across the U.S.

As Big-D Construction expands, the Salt Lake Regional office will remain the cornerstone of our organization and lead the way for our entire company by exemplifying the standards we were founded on. We call it The Big Idea and it is centered around Respect, People, and Truth. We give equal respect to employees and customers, we assemble the best people in the business to work on projects, and we always build with truth and integrity &#8211; if we say it, we do it.
Big-D is on a mission is to be the most sought-after construction company in the business.
