Throughout Biggerstaff Construction's history in Southwest Montana, with many strong additions to the Biggerstaff team, Bob has made sure that the team shares the same goals and mission:

"To build relationships, efficient buildings and homes that maximize and welcome the human connection, all while taking pride and standing behind our work and our name."

The area looked quite different than it does today. Traffic was sparse on the gravel road that led up to the ski hill, and homes and condos were just starting to creep up here and there, blending into the landscape. Restaurants and businesses were far and few between.

However, all that didn't last long; as Big Sky quickly earned a reputation for world-class skiing, and with its close proximity to Yellowstone National Park, the small town evolved into an escape and an outdoor wonderland for both tourists and a steadily increasing local population.

Bob's first project in Big Sky was working on the Hidden Village Condominiums, some of the first units in the Meadow. Since that time, Biggerstaff Construction has gone on to build more than 500 structures in the surrounding area, including some of Big Sky's landmarks and infrastructure, such as the Milkies Pizza complex, Arrowhead Condominiums, the Arrowhead Mall (home of Lone Mountain Sports and Scissorbills), Beaverhead Condominiums and the Mint restaurant in Belgrade, not to mention numerous custom homes.

Allan Hathaway joined the Biggerstaff team in 1990 and, after working nearly every aspect of the business, he became part owner in 2008. After graduating with degrees in Business Management and Business Marketing in 2003, Bob's son Jerad came on board, making this a family business and carrying on the legacy as part owner.

There's a reason Biggerstaff Construction is still thriving as one of the longest running construction companies in the area. Over the years, they have made a commitment to building quality structures and listening carefully to client's needs and expectations. They have also made a commitment to building quality, lasting relationships within the Big Sky, Bozeman and building communities. To this day, Biggerstaff has strong connections with some of the best sub-contractors, architects and suppliers around which, in turn, benefits their clients.

Since he built that first condo 30 years ago, Bob says that he has always made an effort to "build strong relationships with, and take care of people."
