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.

Big-D Construction Southwest Celebrates Three Wins at the 2023 Phelix Awards
Big-D Construction Southwest proudly announces its inaugural victories at the 2023 Phelix Awards, hosted by the Society for Marketing Professional Services (SMPS) Arizona Chapter. These admired awards celebrate excellence in marketing communications and recognize the achievements of A/E/C marketing and business development professionals.
The awards are a testament to the commitment to innovation, collaboration, and the growth of Southwests’ marketing and business development team.
The three winning categories:
Firm Leader – Laura Shivers
Laura Shivers received the coveted Firm Leader award, acknowledging her profound impact on the marketing and business development departments. Her leadership perfectly aligns with the SMPS mission of &#8220;Business Transformed through Marketing Leadership.&#8221;
Up and Comer – Katie Rausch
Katie Rausch, a rising star in the A/E/C industry, was honored with the Up and Comer award, recognizing her early career contributions to marketing and communications.
Internal Communications (Silver) – Swagtober Event
The swag distribution party dubbed &#8220;Swagtober&#8221;, ingeniously blended the elements of &#8220;swag&#8221; and &#8220;October&#8221; – encapsulating both the time of year and the promotional aspect. The underlying strategy for Swagtober was multifaceted; we aimed to establish an annual event that fosters a sense of tradition while allowing team members to voice their preferences in terms of branded merchandise.
Big-D Southwest Construction extends its heartfelt gratitude to SMPS Arizona Chapter and all those who contributed to these groundbreaking achievements. These wins serve as an inspiration for the team to continue their innovative approach to marketing within the construction industry.

SOUTHWEST CELEBRATES BIG AT 2023 PHELIX AWARDS

We&#8217;re thrilled to share the success of our recent participation in CANstruction 2023, an inspiring nonprofit event that highlights the incredible impact of collaborative efforts to combat local hunger. At Big-D Southwest, we believe in giving back, and CANstruction provided a remarkable platform for us to make a meaningful difference in our community.
Our dedicated team joined forces with partners APMI Architects and Arizona Pinnacle Engineering, to bring a spectacular vision to life. Under the theme &#8220;Holiday for All Seasons,&#8221; we collectively crafted a stunning representation of the New Year&#8217;s Eve ball drop in Times Square, New York City, using canned food items. K2 Electric participated as well, offering their warehouse for storage and practice builds.
The sculptures, a true labor of love, are currently showcased at Arrowhead Towne Center until the DeCanstruction event on August 19th, when all of the cans will be transported and donated to St. Mary&#8217;s Food Bank.

Big-D Southwest executed their annual community give back event in support of Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) and their mission to make a difference in the lives of malnourished children. Team members actively participated in the personal and impactful process of hand-packing meals and creating a meaningful transformative experience for all involved.
This is one of four community events planned by the Southwest’s Culture Committee—showcasing their dedication to fostering a culture of giving back within the business unit. By actively participating at FMSC, they helped pack 184 boxes, totaling 39,744 meals.

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.

We&#8217;re committed to family literacy! Treehouse Children&#8217;s Museum has a community-focused initiative to help parents and grandparents prepare their children for the start of school. Recognizing that many children start Kindergarten in local schools without the skills they need to succeed, and that many children do not attend any preschool programs before the start of their formal schooling, we&#8217;ve worked with educators, schools, and community organizations, and with a renowned children&#8217;s book illustrator and author, to provide new resources to both parents and teachers.

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.
