55 Years and the Original Story
“If you love what you do, and every day is a new challenge, why wouldn't you keep working? I get a lot of satisfaction from seeing a project complete and a happy customer in the end.”
- Jerry Williams, Vice President/Founder
“WEB has been fortunate to develop wonderful relationships with clients, employees, subcontractors and suppliers. We are a service first business where relationships are the fundamental part of our business, being authentic is the foundation of this service.”
- Josh Williams, President/CEO
In 1963, Jerry Williams and 2 friends started a four employee grain bin erection company in rural Mankato, providing high-quality, low-cost, and on-time grain storage construction. After a few name changes and some growth, in 1968, that company was incorporated as WEB Construction Company. The farm service industry and the grain bins themselves continued to grow until WEB construction was running up to 9 crews of 4 to 6 and working on up to 300 bins in their busiest year.
St. Clair Fire Department was one of the first examples of a change of direction for the company amidst rapid inflation across the U.S. That timing was ideal because in the early 1980s, changes in government subsidies, efforts to slow inflation, and the resulting lowered land values slowed farming and, therefore, grain bin construction. In 1994, Jerry’s son, Josh, joined the business and in 2019 assumed the role of President.
Today, WEB Construction has exploded into a highly pursued player in commercial construction development, commercial concrete, construction project management, and commercial general contracting throughout southern Minnesota and northern Iowa. Despite their exponential growth, WEB continues to stay true to their original mission having always believed in quality and integrity. They continue to strive to exemplify their low-cost and on-time origin while also building appealing and functional designs.
