Our experience working with Empire was exceptional.
“Our non-profit organization decided to build our new baseball field without a general contractor or engineer. Needless to say there were some hurdles to overcome. After the winter storm last April our schedules were very tight and fluid. Empire did an excellent job working with our schedule to keep our project on track. Due to Empire’s flexibility and dedication our kids were playing baseball by mid May at the facility. Thank you Empire for being a valuable asset to our project.”

How early should I contact a general contractor?
Early planning gives you the most options. Many businesses wait until they have a full set of plans, but connecting with Empire sooner lets us weigh in on site planning, building type, budget, and timeline before those decisions are locked in. The earlier we talk, the better your project will be positioned.
What types of commercial projects does Empire handle?
Empire builds warehouses, office buildings, schools, industrial facilities, retail spaces, auto dealerships, event centers, and agricultural buildings across South Dakota and the Midwest. We also handle renovations, expansions, and facility upgrades for businesses with existing space.
Do you work outside of Sioux Falls?
YesEmpire serves communities across eastern South Dakota, including Harrisburg, Tea, Hartford, Huron, and Brandon. We’ve also completed commercial and industrial construction projects in Iowa, Minnesota, and Nebraska.
How does Empire manage timelines and budgets?
We build a clear plan before construction starts, then coordinate every subcontractor, supplier, and inspection throughout the project. Your timeline and budget are tracked at every stage, and we flag issues early so you can make decisions before they become problems.
What does a commercial general contractor actually do?
A commercial general contractor manages your entire construction project: coordinating architects, engineers, subcontractors, and suppliers, and keeping everything on schedule and within budget. Empire does all of that, plus handles metal building construction, concrete work, sitework, and development support under one roof.
