ABOUT THE BIG-D FAMILY OF COMPANIES

THINK, WORK, LIVE BIG.

Our culture, refined over five decades, reflects a fearless work ethic tempered by touchstone beliefs we fervently practice.

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.

Our teams continue to enjoy the support and freedom to build outstanding careers, driven by the firm belief that the best chapters of our history are still to be written.

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.
