Big Johnson Construction

What Big Johnson Construction does

Big Johnson Construction is a privately held, founder-owned specialty subcontractor headquartered in Fort Morgan, Colorado, that supplies, erects, and installs pre-engineered metal buildings across the continental United States. Founded by Abe Johnson in 2000 and incorporated in 2009, the company operates with 101-250 employees organized into up to 15 field crews led by experienced superintendents, with a dedicated full-time safety manager. It is an authorized dealer for three nationally recognized building manufacturers (American Buildings Company, B&C Steel, and Ceco Building Systems) and a member of the Metal Building Contract Erectors Association.

The company's offering is built around three integrated service lines. Erection Only provides pre-engineered building erection for projects of any manufacturer or complexity. Materials-in-Place bundles design assistance, materials procurement, and erection under a single contract to reduce procurement errors and cost overruns. Crane Installation offers certified installation and retrofitting of bridge, jib, and gantry cranes in both new and existing structures. The firm is licensed and bonded with documented OSHA and MSHA compliance practices.

Big Johnson generates revenue through project-based, quote-driven contracts with municipal, education, agricultural, and commercial clients. Its go-to-market is direct field sales, supplemented by referrals and inbound from its three manufacturer partners. Pricing varies by project scope and is described as more competitive than average due to long-standing supplier relationships. Customer concentration is notable in Colorado municipal and education work, with project footprints ranging from 1,800 sq ft emergency operations centers to 46,500 sq ft public works campuses. There are no external investors, no funding rounds, no M&A activity, and no technology or AI initiatives disclosed in available material.
