a carpenter,
a Volkswagen,
and a big-idea
On November 2, 1967, a 30-year-old carpenter named Dee Livingood sold his blue Volkswagen for $1,000 and risked everything he had to start his own business.
His nickname “Big Dee” inspired the name for our company.
the big-idea
Big Dee started with almost nothing – no business experience, no customers, and almost no money. What he did have was a BIG-IDEA about the way things ought to be done.
Respect
Give equal respect to employees & customers.People
Assemble the best people in the business.Truth
build with truth. if you say it, do it.Inspired by the past,
building the future
Dee’s founding culture began with a team of the industry’s best, whom he called his “young lions.” They focused on the core principles for long-term success, a legacy that inspires us today as we add “lions” of every age.

local offices, national strength
While the roots of Big-D Companies are ever-expanding, our community-centric approach enables us to strengthen local economies by creating jobs for existing residents and by supporting local merchants, vendors, suppliers and retailers. That, in part, explains why we now employ over 1800 associates in 18 states, and why we are recognized leaders in construction management and design-build services.
