Great Falls’ economy, driven by Malmstrom Air Force Base (3,500 personnel), agriculture (Montana’s top wheat-producing region), and healthcare (Benefis Health System), fuels demand for commercial projects. We build and renovate offices, retail spaces, and industrial facilities, from 10th Avenue South’s commercial corridor to new developments near the Great Falls International Airport.

Serving Great Falls’ Unique Needs
Great Falls’ high elevation (3,330 feet) and extreme climate, with sub-zero winters and high winds, require construction that prioritizes insulation, snow load capacity, and durability. The Downtown Historic District, with over 500 structures listed on the National Register of Historic Places, demands adherence to preservation standards, which our team navigates using period-appropriate materials like reclaimed wood or custom brickwork. In newer areas like Riverview and West Bank, we focus on sustainable designs with high-efficiency HVAC systems, solar-ready roofs, and low-VOC materials, aligning with Great Falls’ eco-conscious community. The city’s 2024 housing initiatives, with 900 new residential units planned, and its industrial growth, supported by $25 million in infrastructure investments, underscore the need for quality construction. Great Falls’ tourism, boosted by attractions like Giant Springs State Park (150,000 visitors annually), drives commercial construction for hotels and restaurants, which we support with robust, eco-friendly designs. We comply with Montana’s 5% retainage laws and Great Falls’ building codes, ensuring transparent, high-quality projects across neighborhoods from Black Eagle to Gibson Flats.
