What Westin Construction does

Westin Construction Company is a privately held, family-owned (Arbogast family) general commercial construction firm incorporated in Minnesota on October 24, 1994, and headquartered at 11978 Portland Avenue S., Burnsville, MN. The firm operates as an S Corporation with 11–50 employees and has completed over 1,350 projects across 31 states since founding. Its work is organized around five practice areas: General Commercial Construction (over 1,000 projects), Mission Critical/Data Center Construction (over $250 million in completed work), Banking and Financial Facility Construction (over 25 banks/credit unions), Educational Facility Construction (over 40 educational facilities), and Retail Construction (hundreds of tenant improvement projects ranging from 750 to 50,000 square feet).

The firm's core technical capabilities center on sustainable construction practices, LEED-certified building expertise, and specialized work in and around active facilities without disrupting operations — most prominently demonstrated in data center upgrades such as the 60-day transition choreography for Data Center Atlanta. It maintains safety programs aligned with Minnesota AWAIR Act and California IIP guidelines.

Commercially, Westin operates on a project-based, quote-driven revenue model with no publicly disclosed pricing. Average annual revenue is reported at $32 million with a peak of $155 million, reflecting significant project-size variability. Go-to-market is sales-led and relationship-driven: over 90% of annual revenue derives from repeat clients or referrals. Distribution is direct, with no intermediary channels, and marketing is dominated by a content-oriented company website and word-of-mouth. Strategic vendor partnerships include KleinBank (banking), Ahmann Martin (insurance), and North American Specialty Insurance Company (bonding). Leadership consists of John Arbogast (President) and Nancy Arbogast (Secretary/Treasurer).
