Speaking on Business: Big-D Companies

This is Derek Miller, Speaking on Business. Founded in 1967, Big-D Construction has grown into one of the nation’s leading construction firms, driven by a mission to be the most sought-after group of construction companies in the industry, delivering innovative commercial, industrial, and residential projects. Concrete Operations Coordinator, Lucio Gallegos, joins us with more. Lucio Gallegos: At Big-D, we do more than build structures — we build communities. Our self-perform concrete team is shaping the future by providing student internship programs across the Jordan and Granite School Districts and Salt Lake Community College. We also offer a summer camp for students, creating hands-on learning experiences and innovative career pathways to introduce the next generation to the construction industry. Beyond developing, we are committed to fostering kindness and well-being. Through partnerships with the American Heart Association and One Kind Act a Day initiative, we support efforts that promote healthier, more connected communities. Our dedication extends beyond job sites as we invest time, donations, and pro-bono services to make a lasting impact and inspire positive change. Whether we’re monitoring future builders or advocating for stronger, healthier communities, Big-D is proud to play a role in shaping a brighter tomorrow. Learn more at Big-D.com. Derek Miller: Big-D Construction is committed to more than just building structures — they’re dedicated to supporting people and communities. Through educational programs, charitable initiatives, and industry mentorship, they create opportunities and make a lasting impact wherever they build.
