Rounds Construction Co — Site Prep, Heavy Civil & Wastewater in Brookings, SD (Family-Owned Since 1991)

Keith and Cathy Rounds founded the company in 1991. Jesse Rounds now serves as President and CEO, with Keith as Vice President and Cathy as Treasurer — a family leadership structure that has maintained consistent values across more than three decades of heavy civil and site-preparation work in eastern South Dakota.

The work Rounds does sits in a different category from general renovation contracting. Site preparation, heavy civil, and wastewater treatment projects require bonded crews, specialized equipment, and a verifiable track record in regulated disciplines. A 30-year operating history in this niche is a meaningful credential.

Services

  • Site Preparation — Grading, excavation, and site clearing for residential lots, commercial developments, and infrastructure projects. Precision at this stage prevents expensive rework when framing begins.
  • Heavy Civil Construction — Road-building, earthworks, and large-scale site-development contracts requiring equipment capacity and project management depth that general contractors typically can’t provide.
  • Land Improvement — Agricultural and rural land improvement projects, including drainage, leveling, and access development for landowners across eastern SD.
  • Wastewater Treatment — Municipal and site-level wastewater system construction, a specialized discipline requiring strict regulatory compliance and engineering coordination. Rounds has a verifiable track record here that few Brookings-area contractors can match.

Service area

Brookings, South Dakota, and the broader eastern SD region, including rural and municipal infrastructure projects.

Why it’s on home.renovation.reviews

Rounds Construction occupies a narrow specialty within the construction industry — one where experience and bonding matter more than marketing spend. Their 30-year track record and continued family ownership make them a credible reference for anyone scoping heavy civil, site prep, or wastewater work in eastern SD.
