PRIDE IN THEIR PEOPLE AND SERVICE

Driving around the area, it’s a common occurrence to see a Fiegen Construction sign posted near commercial buildings .

Several notable projects the company has done include the Sioux Falls Specialty Hospital’s Urgent Care facility on 85th and Minnesota; the Sanford Pentagon and Fieldhouse; and the Dakota Dome remodel along with the Sanford Coyote Sports Center at the University of South Dakota. Closer to home in Harrisburg, Fiegen Construction just finished the new Sanford Clinic at the corner of Cliff Avenue and Willow Street.

Fiegen Construction is a familyowned, commercial construction company based in Sioux Falls. Ron Fiegen founded the company in 1967 after years of experience working in the steel and construction industry across the country. Currently, the day-to-day operations are led by brothers Jeff and Rusty Fiegen and Jeff’s son, Lucas. Their steady growth has been the result of preserving the family’s legacy and core values instilled by their father. “Nobody worked harder and nobody in the area had the knowledge of steel construction like our father had,” Rusty said.

The company prides itself on its employees and the service provided on each project. “About 20 years ago, we really advanced our ‘Design/Build’ approach to our business,” said Lucas Fiegen. The approach of offering in-house architects who work closely with clients while having the capability to build and construct those plans under the umbrella of one company has been key for Fiegen Construction over the years. “We enjoy it when a client asks us to design a complex project and we make it all come together.”

About 50 employees work for Fiegen Construction with an average tenure greater than 12 years. Some employees have been with the company for 40+ years. “When we find a good employee we take care of them as if they are part of the family,” said Lucas.

Several recent hires are fruits of the Harrisburg High School Career and Technical Education Center. Jack Marquardt and Jonah Dancisin both became acquainted with Fiegen Construction through their building trades classes at HHS. Jack is taking advantage of the Build Dakota Scholarship program, a

State of South Dakota initiative that helps pay for the cost of secondary education at South Dakota’s technical colleges. When Jack completes his education at Southeast Technical College, his tuition is paid for after fulfilling a commitment to work 3 years in the state. Jonah started working for Fiegen right out of high school and is now taking classes through AGC’s Apprenticeship Program while working full-time. Both programs offer hands-on experience while sharpening their minds for the construction industry.

The future of the company looks promising as there is no shortage of building projects on the horizon. What has worked for the company the past 55 years likely will remain the same and so too will be the principles that Ron Fiegen founded the company on years ago. //
