Big-D Construction ladies from our Minnesota to our California offices gathered for the 17th Annual Women Thinking Big celebration. 

“We work in a male-dominated industry and women are making their mark! They have always existed in accounting and estimating, but when we start seeing tradeswomen coming to the event, that gets me really excited!” said the event organizer.
Thank you to everyone who participated this year virtually or in-person and keep THINKING BIG!

Big-D Construction ladies from our Minnesota to our California offices gathered for the 17th Annual Women Thinking Big celebration.

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.

May is Mental Health Month, and we value the importance of maintaining a healthy headspace.

At Big-D, we organize wellness checks for our associates to check in on their health and assess where they are at physically, mentally, and emotionally&#8211;and #lookwithin is a great starting point.
The initiative comes from Mental Health America and allows everyone to get a better understanding of where their mental health is at and how to make it better.

Big-D’s safety culture hinges on the all-important common goal of Zero Harm. 

As we focus on Construction Safety Week, annual event where companies and people spread awareness and celebrate safety measures.
At Big-D, we achieve Zero Harm through the values and strategies of our proactive, task-oriented safety program we call TH!NK.
TH!NK helps remind our employees what is important to them in their lives and what they need to do everyday to work safe.
Follow along with our Big-D accounts to see more information about why we value safety!

March 8th is International Women’s Day!

Big-D Companies would like to give a BIG thank you to all of our incredible women associates that work within our family of companies.

We had two associates from Big-D Construction participate in the State Capitol Day by advocating for specific bills that have an impact on mental health and suicide prevention.

They stood by our partners at AFSP (American Foundation for Suicide Prevention) and NAMI (National Alliance on Mental Illness), as well as LiveOn and SafeUT.
They also spoke with Senator Thatcher, who was instrumental in passing legislation for the suicide crisis line (SB 175).
One of our participating associates shared, &#8220;Suicide plagues the construction industry, so it is important that we get involved and have our voices heard. We showed up in our Big-D vests, but we were representing the construction industry as a whole.&#8221;
&#8220;No matter what drives you, we encourage everyone to take action and get involved!&#8221;

Big-D Companies strives to be engaged within communities. Part of who we are and how we do business is giving back and today we had the opportunity to present a check with @agcutah to the Utah Food Bank.

Our COO at Big-D Companies, Troy Thompson, recently served as a Chairman on the AGC of Utah Board. He wanted the AGC to consider donating to the @utahfoodbank organization.
Today the Utah Foodbank was presented a spectacular donation. The check was written for nearly $36,000, which will provide about 161,000 meals.
We are grateful for the opportunity that we have to interact and donate to great causes within our communities.

Big-D Companies was a sponsor for the 2023 Associated Schools of Construction (ASC) Regions 6 & 7 Student Competition!

The whole weekend was dedicated to the Student Competition and Construction Management Conference, which took place in Reno, Nevada.
We had a great team of employees from a variety of our offices, attend the event.
On the closing day of the competition there was a Career Fair where Big-D Companies&#8217; employees mingled with students who were looking for opportunities within the construction industry.

WSU was founded in Ogden, Utah as Weber Stake Academy in 1889. 
“Weber” comes from the name of the county where the university is located, which was named after John Henry Weber, an early American fur trapper.
In 1933, the academy was made a state junior college. Following World War II, the college outgrew its downtown campus and moved to the present site on the foothills of the Wasatch Mountains overlooking Ogden and the Great Salt Lake.
Weber State College awarded its first baccalaureate degree in 1964. In 1991, the college became Weber State University, appropriately symbolizing its role as Utah’s first comprehensive regional university that also retains a community college mission.

The Natural History Museum of Utah illuminates the natural world and the place of humans within it.
NHMU is an institution of science. As such, we accept the theory of evolution, which is the unifying concept of all biological sciences. While there remains ongoing and lively debate about the processes of evolutionary change—that is, how evolution occurs—the overwhelming majority of biologists fully endorse the idea that all organisms on earth share a common ancestry and that life&#8217;s unfolding has encompassed billions of years of time. Like gravity, evolution is one of the cornerstones of modern science, and it represents one of the key themes of our institutional mission.

Our Mission is to provide children and young athletes of all ages, talent levels and economic situations an opportunity to improve their athletic abilities, build confidence, learn teamwork and enhance communication in a fun and entertaining environment.
Alex Austin, A-Train’s Vice-President, and the organization’s Director brings more than 15-years professional and collegiate athletic experience to the youth that he teaches. His experience includes coaching and directing camps for many notable Universities, head coaches and professional athletes. Although his program initially focused on basketball camps, it has since evolved to include teams and training athletes. The A-Train program now includes over 300 kids, ranging in age from 6-18 years and varying in different skill development.
We have an excellent program and a wonderful group of volunteer coaches and parents dedicated to providing a positive learning environment for developing basketball fundamentals, as well as life skills. Our goal is to give guidance and strengthen youth through sports activities, education and community service. A-Train players amassed over 10,000 hours of giving back to their community during the 2011 season, and each child in the program is required to maintain a respectable GPA , with a goal of maintaining a 3.5 program wide GPA.  We also educate the kids on proper nutrition, the danger of drugs, respecting parents and being a good citizen.
Alex has a great deal of respect and knowledge for the game, which he hopes to pass along to each young athlete with which he works; helping them strive to reach their potential both in the game of basketball and in their lives.  In addition to his A-Train for Youth program, Alex’s A-Train Magic travel teams compete in the top tournaments around the country, placing young athletes in front of college scouts and coaches, giving them an opportunity for college placement. We work closely with these athletes, educating them on NCAA rules and requirements, collegiate eligibility requirements and preparing them for the rigors of college athletics. Many of our college athletes return home to donate their time to coach at our summer camps.
Alex Austin makes it his personal mission to ensure that every child who participates in his program is personally recognized and acknowledged. He has developed a system that not only teaches and improves a child’s skill in the sport of basketball, but has also learned how to reach them on an individual level to reinforce the values necessary to succeed in life.

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.

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.
