Kyburz-Carlson Construction — Commercial General Contractor in Aberdeen, SD (Since 1920)
Kyburz-Carlson Construction has one of the longer histories in South Dakota’s construction industry. The company traces its origins to shortly after World War I, when carpenter R.N. Kyburz established Kyburz Construction Company in Aberdeen. The current entity took shape in 1985 when Henry Carlson Construction, based in Sioux Falls, joined forces with the Aberdeen firm to form Kyburz-Carlson Construction. What resulted was a regional commercial contractor with a century of cumulative institutional knowledge and projects across multiple building types throughout the state.
Note: Per Aberdeen Insider, Kyburz-Carlson announced the closure of its Aberdeen operations. This profile remains in the directory for historical reference and as a record of the company’s long contribution to the Aberdeen construction market.

Why it’s on home.renovation.reviews
A company that operated commercially in the same market for over a century is part of the built environment of the region whether or not it’s currently taking contracts. Kyburz-Carlson’s projects are present in Aberdeen’s office and institutional buildings, and the company’s history — the Kyburz founding, the 1985 Carlson merger, the long run serving schools and health facilities — is worth documenting for anyone researching the region’s construction history or looking for contractors who worked on existing buildings.
