Our Promise: Create Certainty Every Step of the Way
How The Knutson Experience Builds Partnership
Clients and design partners create the vision - Knutson’s role is to provide confidence. From there, our construction leaders and trade partners bring it to life. Success is not achieved solely by the end result, but by the experience throughout. The journey should be fun, and partnership is the key.
You have dreams. We know how to make them real. We are committed to you through trust, communication, flexibility, respect, and teamwork. We will provide certainty, confidence and represent your interests at every stage of the journey, and always keep you in the loop of what’s happening and what’s to come. Your project is unique – we will tailor our approach to the nuances of your vision & surroundings and our interactions with your employees, customers, stakeholders, and neighbors will make you feel proud. Your goals become ours – we will work in partnership to achieve success together.
We are only as strong as the relationships we build with our trade partners. Whether we’ve partnered in the past, or we’re building together for the first time, we are committed to you.
We will provide a fair and open bid-award process, and conduct a kickoff meeting to collaborate and align expectations.

Knutson’s Long-Held, Long-Practiced Beliefs and Values
This term has grown out of Knutson’s long-held, long-practiced beliefs and values and was coined in 2005 following extensive research with clients. Knutson commissioned the research to understand how clients view the construction experience and to ensure that The Knutson Experience gives them confidence and peace of mind. This research was expanded to include architects, trade partners and employees to ensure they also feel assured, inspired and appreciated at every stage of our journey, together.
Dedicated Difference Makers
Before starting any project, we ask ourselves: “How can we deliver the outstanding construction experience our clients and people deserve?” View examples of how we step up to the plate every day to make a difference for our clients.
Dr. Matthew J. Hillman, Ed.D.
"Throughout the entire [project] process, we routinely felt we had made a sage decision to partner with Knutson Construction. They managed to finish [our] projects on time and under budget; keep in mind that almost 60% of these projects were completed during a global pandemic. Their scheduling acumen is the highest caliber. As the Superintendent of Schools, I never lost sleep about any part of these projects (or the budget) because Knutson earned my implicit trust. They are a fantastic construction management firm with the highest integrity, and I give them my highest recommendation without reservation."

“Knutson Construction is a highly-regarded partner, and I am happy to recommend them to any owner for any project now, and in the future. The Knutson team has demonstrated their core values while working with us, which have consistently lead to one successful project after another. Knutson always takes a proactive approach to solving problems and overcoming challenges, while keeping the lines of communication open and everyone working as a team. While working with Knutson, they have demonstrated that our best interests is their top priority.”

"When the construction crew was laying new flooring in the hallway, it took 4 rooms out of service for us on a very busy, tough day. We had a full census in NICU, and every available bed in MCC was occupied. I asked the construction supervisor if Knutson could speed up the flooring installation as we needed the beds, and only a few hours later, the team turned the space over to us. This extra effort by this crew was all in the spirit of making it possible for us to meet patient needs... what a great crew and great effort in the spirit of patient care by the construction team. Knutson's group is part of our team, and is dedicated to making things work for our patients."
