Established in 1949 by Gunvald Sande, Sande Construction & Supply Co. has played a vital role in shaping the landscape of Humboldt, Iowa, and beyond. The company first gained traction with its residential projects, including the Keller-Sande Addition, which provided homes for many families. Their inaugural commercial project was the St. Joseph Catholic Church convent, soon followed by a significant contract to construct a fertilizer plant for Agrico Fertilizer, marking their entry into the commercial construction market.
As the years progressed, the company evolved and expanded its services. In 1972, the name was changed to Sande Construction and Supply Co., Inc., reflecting their growing retail operations alongside construction services. Leadership transitioned through generations, with Ronald Sande taking the helm in the early 1970s, followed by Steve Sande, the third generation of the family to lead the firm. They have maintained a strong focus on quality and customer satisfaction, which has been a cornerstone of their operations.
With a commitment to integrating site work, concrete, masonry, carpentry, and drywall as part of their services, Sande Construction ensures that they maintain control over costs and quality, fostering efficient project execution. The company offers a diverse range of projects, from commercial and industrial construction to specialized projects like aquatic centers and metal buildings. Their dedication to the craft has earned them notable accolades, including the prestigious Build Iowa Award for outstanding contributions to the industry.
Today, Sande Construction continues to uphold its mission of delivering top-notch construction services, being recognized as a reliable partner for contractors and homeowners alike. Their legacy, marked by innovation and excellence over more than 70 years, positions Sande Construction as a formidable player in the construction industry in Iowa.
