Today is a BIG day for Big-D Construction as we celebrate 55 years of service.

Since November 2, 1967, we have been driven by an idea so powerful it continues to inspire everything we do.
By focusing on Respect, People, and Truth, we have successfully grown Big-D to a $2 billion company with 16 offices in 9 states and growing. 
Thank you and here is to the future of Big-D!

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 Construction Heavy Industrial celebrates 1 year of excelling in the advanced mining, manufacturing space

When Big-D Construction launched its Heavy Industrial business unit a year ago, it did so with the goal of being a leader in the advanced mining and manufacturing space.
As it celebrates its 1-year anniversary, Big-D Heavy Industrial has flourished with global brand experience and a collective, integrated approach to managing the transition from construction to operations. Its team members have proven to be the best in the business.
“Our commitment to long-term relationships translates to execution of our work, prompt communication, and a daily focus on being a great partner,” said Bryan Allinson, Senior Vice President of Big-D Heavy Industrial.
Joining Allinson on the leadership team is Kyle Sargent, PE, Director of Preconstruction. Sargent earned a bachelor of science degree in civil engineering from Arizona State University and an MBA from Louisiana State University. Allinson holds a bachelor of science degree construction management from Northern Arizona University.
From site preparation to process plant facilities, Big-D Heavy Industrial offers advanced construction solutions with safety as a priority and a steadfast knowledge of the business. Team members combined have more than 200 years of experience with global brands including Bayer Industries and MP Materials.
In the past year Big-D Heavy Industrial has displayed industry prowess in mineral water, waste water, reclamation, refineries, smelters, leach pads, concentrators, and process plants.
“Success in this complex market requires safe environments, positive interactions, and experienced experts,” Allinson said. “Big-D Heavy Industrial has displayed great prowess in those areas the past 12 months. It’s been a great first year.”

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!

Big-D Construction was the host of one of the NAWIC Salt Lake Chapter events this last week.

Saturday March 11th, we had a brunch with just a handful of women in construction, at the Big-D Construction Salt Lake City Utah Office. 
We are excited to see this engagement and momentum as work is done to promote the success of women in the industry!

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.
