Our Story
At Hulstein Construction, we believe every project begins with trust. Our roots in excavation and concrete stretch back to 1992, when the Hulstein family began building a reputation for hard work, honesty and precision.
Over the years, what started as a small, local operation has grown into a multi-division construction group, offering excavation, concrete paving and trucking services throughout South Dakota, Minnesota and the Midwest. Today, we continue to honor our heritage while embracing innovation to serve our clients better.
Our Core Values
- Integrity: Doing what’s right, even when no one is watching.
- Quality: Holding ourselves to the highest standards in workmanship and service.
- Safety Protecting our employees, our clients and our communities.
These values are more than words—they are the foundation of our success and the reason so many clients trust us project after project.
