In 2024, Bouten Construction Company proudly received the "Best Places to Work INW" award, showcased alongside its logo and a heartfelt message about fostering lasting relationships.

Building Places that
Matter and Relationships
that Last

Every building matters to someone. And every relationship is built on trust. While a lot has changed since our founding in 1944, one thing hasn’t: Each morning, we grab our boots and our hard hats and we go to work to bring hospitals and schools and research facilities to communities across the Pacific Northwest.

Delivering Greater Value

With owners experiencing everything from surprise costs to poor-quality work, more are starting to question the traditional design-bid-build approach to construction—and embracing alternative project delivery. These methods not only streamline the design and construction process, but also reduce risk, foster collaboration, and provide further opportunities for innovation.

Putting People First

The safety and well-being of everyone—whether construction workers, the public, or our clients—is our number-one priority on every project. That’s why our safety standards are non-negotiable. And why, through comprehensive education, evaluation, investment, and accountability, we give everyone a stake in producing higher-value projects without incident.

“If you look at your work and you say, ‘I wonder if that’s good enough,’ it’s not.” My first job was at Dick’s when I was still in high school. No kidding. Dick’s Hamburgers. I was a prep cook. Only worked there for about six months, but then I couldn’t get out of the restaurant field

Our Story

It began in Aberdeen, South Dakota: a modest home, built by a thirteen-year-old Belgian immigrant with the help of a carpenter and a laborer. Gus J.
