This phrase holds two meanings for what we are trying to collectively accomplish as the most sought-after construction companies in the business.

“Here for Good” means being present in our communities for good causes.
“Here for Good” also means we are here to stay and build up our communities through charitable efforts.
Our first ever Week of Giving showed us that we can be “Here for Good” in every sense.
Thanks to all of our associates, friends, and families, who collectively donated $21,650 dollars during our inaugural Week of Giving—an amount we will match at the company level. Beyond the money donated, our team members across the country volunteered at local food banks and donated to food drives to support Feeding America and their mission to end hunger.

Here for Good.

Big-D Midwest lends a helping hand with HEARTS & HAMMERS

Big-D Midwest is always thinking of ways to better their community in BIG ways and in small. Each year they partner with a local non-profit, Hearts &amp; Hammers, to volunteer for their annual Day of Service. With the office and field team in attendance, they paint, landscape, repair siding, clean out garages and even repair wheelchair ramps.
Hearts &amp; Hammers puts Big-D Midwest in touch with owners who need their assistance to restore their homes. Sharon was a previous homeowner and said, “I am just so thankful for the work that Big-D Construction did on my house. It took such a weight off my shoulders.”
Employee Jesse Sherman has been spearheading this collaboration for the last few years. He says, “It feels so good to give back to our community and have the opportunity to put my skills to use.”
The Big-D Midwest team is so grateful to Hearts &amp; Hammers for their continued partnership, and to their employees for always being willing to help their community.

One, two, three, jump! And jump they do into the frosty depths of an ice-cold lake, all for a good cause. Big-D Midwest annually raises money for Special Olympics at the Polar Plunge event.
Special Olympics Minnesota is helping to create a world that accepts and welcomes every single person regardless of ability or disability. The Polar Plunge is the biggest fundraiser for Special Olympics Minnesota. All funds raised by Plungers help Special Olympics Minnesota provide year-round training and services to thousands of athletes with intellectual disabilities across the state.
“I have done the plunge in the past and love the opportunity to do something out of the box that supports a great cause,” said Jesse. “I was nervous about the colder than expected weather, but afterwards I felt invigorated. It was totally worth the ice-cold experience. Happy to have done it with the Big-D team and I would do it again!”

Each year Big-D Midwest, along with many of our subcontractors, supports Toys for Tots &#8211; Twin Cities by collecting toys to be distributed to children within our community in need of holiday cheer. We are so grateful to the companies and employees who donate to the drive!

Big-D is thrilled to announce that we have opened a new office in St. George, Utah!

This new office will provide Big-D with the opportunity to expand in Southern Utah and create relationships in our new space at The Foundry—a campus built to elevate and inspire the design and construction industry in the region.
We look forward to providing advancement opportunities to our Big-D associates as we create meaningful impact in Southern Utah.
Congratulations and good luck to our St. George team!

The 90,000 sq. ft. Juniper Building will serve as the anchor to all of the ongoing efforts, especially as new buildings emerge and new students join in the excitement at the Herriman Campus.

“If you build it, they will come.”
The field of dreams in question turned into the Juniper Building, while &#8220;they&#8221; are the 1,000 students coming and going to classes this semester. Those students doubled the expected enrollment in year one at the Herriman Campus—the ongoing joint venture between Salt Lake Community College and the University of Utah to provide Utah’s South Valley students easier access to education and a seamless transition between the college’s two-year and university’s four-year programs.
Modern tech features in the many class and breakout rooms will advance remote and e-learning opportunities—all to promote each school’s desire to bring a higher education opportunities to potential students across the state. From functions like those, to form, where copper-colored terracotta panels and rammed earth walls tie the building design from ajc architects perfectly to place, with the copper mine and Oquirrh foothills visible just west of the site’s first structure.
The 90,000 sq. ft. Juniper Building will serve as the anchor to all of the ongoing efforts, especially as new buildings emerge and new students join in the excitement at the Herriman Campus.

Congrats to the entire project team for making it to 3,000 safe working hours. As our Big-D Pacific Builders teammates say, “KEEP PUSHIN’!” for a safe, collaborative job!

Safety. Trust. Respect. Expectation. Communication.
All of these words and concepts may have different meanings, but our Big-D Pacific Builders team showed how all combine to create a safety culture with their project teammates at the Yucaipa Logistics Center project.
They hosted a thank-you meeting for our subcontractors to celebrate 3,000 safe working hours while preparing new subcontractor teams on communication and job site expectations as work progresses across the 19-acre site.
Said Donovan, our Project Manager about the meeting, “It gives us an opportunity to get to know each individual worker on-site and build trust between the Big-D management staff and subcontractors. Trust and respect are what make the most successful projects.”
Give respect to everyone we work with, assemble the best people and teams committed to building with safety and professionalism, and follow through on promises and expectations—it’s how we stay on our mission to be the most sought-after construction company in business.

Congratulations to Galloway & Company, Inc., City of St. George, and our Big-D St. George team—we're excited to watch St. George City Hall emerge from the red rocks!

Back when the existing City Hall finished in 1980, 100 full-time employees served a population of just over 13,000 residents. How the city has grown since then! Today, well over 1,000 full- and part-time employees serve the 100,000-plus residents that call St. George home.
The building looks back to the past, namely its address at 61 Main Street giving a historical nod to when pioneers settled the area in 1861. But most importantly, the building looks forward to helping meet the current and future needs of St. George. When construction finishes in early 2025, employees and residents will be able to enjoy the 69,500-sq. ft. City Hall and the neighboring four-story parking garage in the heart of the city.
As the current City Hall has served admirably for over 40 years, Mayor Michelle Randall hinted at how she hoped future residents would see the new building. &#8220;In another 50 or 60 years, I hope our grandchildren and great-grandchildren will say ‘This City Hall served us well.’”

Congratulations to Galloway & Company, Inc., City of St. George, and our Big-D St. George team—we’re excited to watch St. George City Hall emerge from the red rocks!

Teamwork makes the dream work, especially when getting 37,000 pounds of pipe systems from floor to ceiling.

Out in Burley, Idaho, Big-D National Food &amp; Beverage’s Project Suntado has involved the highest levels of coordination work—prefabrication, transportation, assembly—to prepare the project for the “Burley Big Boost,” when 35 team members lifted a 37,000-pound pipe rack assembly via 23 brand new chain hoists. The process of raising the rack and piping from the ground to the 40-foot-high final place took approximately six hours.
Old-fashioned muscle was a unique way the team put safety first as they met the demands of the project schedule. By working off the slab instead of 40 feet up in the air, minimizing labor hours, and focusing on quality control assurance, the lift was a success—and earned high praise from Suntado LLC Co-Owner Dirk Reitsma as he and his company look to provide consumers with shelf-stable milk, or milk that requires no refrigeration.
“It was incredible to watch the effort and ingenuity of Big-D and RM Mechanical, Inc to accomplish this part of the project for Suntado.&#8221;

Our first ever company-wide Week of Giving showed us that we are “Here for Good” in every sense.
Thanks to all of our associates, friends, and families, who collectively donated $21,650 dollars during our inaugural Week of Giving—an amount we matched at the company level. Beyond the money donated, our team members across the country volunteered at local food banks and donated to food drives to support Feeding America and their mission to end hunger.

In partnership with the Associated Builders and Contractors, Utah Chapter, Big-D Construction spent annual time with Utah Royal Kids of greater Salt Lake.

A religious organization, Utah Royal Kids exists to provide opportunities for children in the foster care system by creating positive, life-changing moments for innocent children who have been victims of neglect, abuse, and abandonment.
With support from ABC members, including Big-D Construction, children were presented with clothes, toys, fun activities, and food, including sweet treats from the Big-D ice cream truck. In return, our Big-D family members who volunteered their time, along with other ABC members, received gratitude, a fun-filled program the children prepared, and an opportunity to give back to the community.
“Participating in the Royal Kids event is truly a win-win for both the kids and ABC members. It is both humbling and gratifying to see the kids’ faces light up upon receiving ice cream and other gifts donated by supporters like Big-D, and I am grateful to be a part of a company that believes in giving back,” said Jim Allison, Big-D Salt Lake Vice President, and ABC Board Member.
