What began as a small post-frame building company in 1985 has grown into a leader in the Midwest construction industry. 

This year, Structural Buildings celebrates its 40th anniversary—a testament to four decades of innovation, craftsmanship, and a steadfast commitment to customer satisfaction. To honor the milestone, the company is hosting a weeklong celebration packed with community events, giveaways, and customer appreciation activities across its three locations in Becker, MN; Frederic, WI; and Crosslake, MN.

Founded by Al Stewart, Structural Buildings was built on the foundational values of hard work, honesty, and customer-first service. 

“When I started this company, I wanted to build more than just buildings—I wanted to build relationships,” Al recalls. “To see how far we’ve come is incredibly humbling.”

From its roots in Central Minnesota, Structural Buildings has become a pillar of the Becker community. Over the years, the company has been trusted to construct many of the area’s most recognizable buildings, including Becker Furniture World, the EMR Facility, TJ Potter Trucking, and RTL Equipment—structures that represent the growth, ambition, and entrepreneurial spirit of the city itself.

Now under the leadership of President Chad Stewart, Al’s son and Troy Engen, the company has grown to offer custom construction solutions ranging from homes and barndominiums to commercial, agricultural, and municipal facilities. 

“This milestone is about more than the past—it’s about celebrating the people who helped us get here and looking ahead to the future,” says Chad. “We wouldn’t be here without our customers, employees, and partners, and this celebration is for them.”

The highlight of the anniversary week is the Open House Celebration on Saturday, July 19, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at Structural Buildings’ Corporate Office in Becker, MN.
