Flashback to the SDSU Wellness Center in Brookings, wrapped up in 2008.

A two-level addition tied into the existing building, part of the university's plan to give students more room for fitness and recreation on campus.

Still busy eighteen years later.

The parking lot at Big City Motors is officially paved! From up top you can really see just how much ground the crews covered.

Up next: new lot lighting and finishing out the parapet.

Demo is wrapping up at West Center Baptist in Madison. The upper level is stripped back, the lower level is wide open, and new walls are already going up on the main floor.

There is a certain point in a renovation where a building looks emptier than it ever will again. This is that week.

Renovation is only half of it. A hundred and six years in, this building is about to get bigger.

We're close to wrapped up with our friends at Roxi & Co.

A delivery truck clipped the overhang out front, and the fascia, soffit and gutter needed some real repair work. New metal, matched color, and the building's back in top-dog shape.

Glad we could help a great local business keep doing what they do best!

The building package for the Bennett County School District's new bus barn landed in Martin yesterday!

Kevin was on-site to help with the delivery, working through pallets of steel and framing as they came off the trailer. Lot's graded, steel's here, the build is next.

Excited to see this one come to life!

Exterior work is underway at Big City Motors!

Crews are out grading and prepping the parking lot before paving, with new lot lighting on the way. The building's getting fresh paint, updated exterior lighting, and an extended parapet above the entrance.

Worth knowing if you're headed that way, they're open through all of it. The cars are just parked around back while the front lot comes together!

Thirty years of Sunkota Construction only works because of the people who show up for it, on the job site and in the office.

Happy Fourth of July!

250 years in, and a day for grilling out, lighting things up, and fixing whatever needs fixing before Monday!

Here's to you, America!

Some of you will remember when Gateway was one of the biggest names in town. Back in 1997, about a year into the company, Sunkota built their 135,000 square foot testing and manufacturing facility right here in Sioux Falls, one of the ten largest construction projects in the city that year.

Their facility manager's take at the time: "Sunkota delivered every phase ahead of schedule." Early projects like this one, and the trust that came with them, are a big part of how we got here.
