Sussner Construction Inc

What Sussner Construction Inc does

Sussner Construction, Inc. is a privately held general contractor founded in 1993 and headquartered at 305 Legion Field Road in southwest Minnesota. The company provides commercial and industrial construction services — including general contracting, design-build, project management, and value engineering — to enterprise clients in southwest Minnesota and the surrounding tri-state region. Its core differentiator is self-perform execution via in-house crews that handle concrete, masonry, metal building erection, carpentry framing, and finish carpentry, supplemented by a partnership with Nucor Building Systems for pre-engineered metal building solutions.

The business operates on a project-based revenue model with custom quotes determined through estimator and project manager consultations; pricing is not publicly disclosed. Customers are acquired primarily through direct field sales, repeat business, and referrals, with a marketing emphasis on long-term relationship-building rather than digital or paid channels. Documented enterprise customers include Monogram Food Solutions (Chandler Meats Snacks Division), Sanford Canby Medical Center, and multiple rural hospital systems (Avera Holy Family, Swift County-Benson, Hendricks Community), with several relationships exceeding 25 years in duration. Annual projects under contract have ranged from 120 to 177 between 2020 and 2025, with the most recent figure (120 in 2025) representing a roughly 32% decline from the 2022 peak.

Leadership is a four-person team — Chris Moede (President), Travis Madden (Vice President), Kevin (Corky) Kurth (Estimator/Project Manager), and Crystal Jenniges (Office Manager) — supported by experienced project managers, administrators, and supervisors. The company emphasizes a documented safety program (incident investigation, Tool Box Talks) and on-time, on-budget delivery, citing zero safety or food-safety incidents on multi-year food processing engagements. There is no evidence of external investment, M&A activity, or adoption of AI/digital tooling beyond a standard corporate website.
