We made a call to Big Sky Builders that changed our lives. They helped us find a plan within budget, throughly explained process, answered our list of questions and not once pressured us. The co construct app made it simple to know what was happening with the provided timeline, what actions we needed to do, keep track of financials and communicate with the Big Sky Team. Their knowledge, compassion, honesty and commitment to quality remained in EVERY step of our build. We are forever grateful to everyone at Big Sky Builders for giving us our dream home.

We spent 2 years researching builders in the Bitterroot Valley. We reviewed websites, online reviews, and if possible, tried to go to open houses of previous homes they had built. We had it narrowed down to 2-3 builders and what sealed it for us was the level of detail and pictures that Big Sky Builders had on their website. The level of detail and watching the projects go from an empty lot or field to the finished home were amazing. We reviewed almost all the projects on their website, and they were very consistent in how projects were developed and completed. We had a positive experience with every step of our project with Caleb, Casey, and Julie. Casey was very patient and educated us on various choices of building materials and design. Big Sky Builders uses a very comprehensive and detailed online program to help the homeowner keep track of the progress of their construction timeline. We have built a couple of other homes, and our experience wasn’t even close to what we had with Caleb and Casey. All projects will have some level of issues, but Casey and Caleb did a great job of helping us navigate those. Our project was done on time, high quality, and within our budget, these are all things that usually are unheard of in the home construction process. We would highly recommend Casey and Caleb to build your home.

Big Sky Builders of Victor Montana is extraordinary. After our very first meeting with them we knew this was the contractor we wanted to build for us. We learned so much about them in our very first meeting, 2nd generation builders, quality homes that have won awards, and very honest, especially about what they can provide with the budget you bring them.
The most impressive thing to us was their ability to provide a build schedule and to keep to it. When we approved the plans, they provided a schedule and they delivered. When our build started, they told us our move in date would be 3/9/2023 and on that date it was ours to start moving in! They have an app that allows you to have all the information available to you, schedule, selections of material and finishes and the ability to communicate directly with them regarding any one of those topics so there is no confusion about what faucet goes on what sink or the flooring for each room.
We provided them a floor plan that we liked, and they were able to make changes to customize the space to be uniquely ours. They also have floor plans that they can provide if you need.
They scheduled all our appointments with the product vendors, so we had someone there to guide us in our selections of lighting, flooring, cabinets and countertops. We appreciated that because we are not designers!
They are up to date on current building standards, and they make sure that no corners are cut. The project manager visited the site regularly and would make sure things were to the Big Sky standard and if there were issues, they were quick to have them corrected.
The Big Sky team is very responsive when you have questions, and they are proactive when there is a need to advise you of a change to the schedule or a delay in materials. We never felt as though we weren’t sure what was next, we could always send a message or check the schedule and get the answers we needed.
We are so grateful for the honest and caring way that they built our home. We have been moved in now for about 3 months and every single day we appreciate the work that they put in, especially through this winter build. The Big Sky team took care to make sure this dream home of ours was everything that we wanted, and by doing that, they took great care of us!

I would like to do a big shoutout for Big Sky Builders and Casey Tipton. They recently built a house for us outside of Stevensville MT, while we were still living in Washington state. We felt that Casey always had our best interest at heart. He had design ideas that we hadn’t thought of, that really contributed to the feel of our home. He was a great communicator and was very responsive to our questions and concerns. Now that we have moved in, he continues to provide excellent service for our concerns, (which are minor).
We highly recommend Big Sky Builders and Casey Tipton.

This is a great team of professionals. We are so glad we chose them to build our house. Their business model made the entire process effortless. They stayed on schedule, stayed on budget (unless I as the homeowner made changes) and actually finished 2 weeks sooner than planned. They stand behind their work and if there are any problems they make sure it is taken care of. The end result was a quality home that we are very happy with.

We could not be happier that we chose Big Sky Builders! We bought 5 acres in the beautiful Bitterroot Valley 10 years ago for our future retirement home. After interviewing 3 different builders, we decided to go with Big Sky. When the Tiptons said it would be 5 months from start to finish, we were a little skeptical, especially after hearing horror stories from friends and family. But we broke ground March 30, 2017 and Casey handed us the keys on September 1, 2017. We were living in Pittsburgh and Dallas throughout the building process, and Casey kept us informed and sent us pictures every week. Their business model cannot be beat. Casey and his family is highly respected in this business and every one of their their subcontractors was friendly, courteous and kept their work area neat and tidy, and their workmanship was excellent. We love our new home and highly recommend Big Sky Builders.

This family ownered business is incredible from first contact to the present (approximately a month from completion). From the beginning of thinking about building before we even looked for a lot, Ray, Casey, and Caleb Tipton clearly communicated what they would do and how they would go about completing our dream. Every step we took after seeing what we thought would be a viable site, the Tipton's assisted us from videoing a possible site for a house, recommending architects, meeting with us in person, via long distance phone, email, texting, mwwting with us and the architect throughout the design phase, recommending mortgage companies, connecting us with approved sub contractors, being available to clarify infrastructure choices, etc. While building a home from the ground up is wrought with challenges, Ray and Caleb have made the process much simpler than expected. At less than a month from completion, we could not be happier with the house. Now, if only, the weather would cooperate so the house can be completed. I wholeheartedly recommend Bib Sky Builders.

After interviewing three contractors to build our new home, we hired Big Sky Builders. In a very short time or working with them, the fear and mystery of building a new home disappeared. After the final house plan was agreed on, and a start date was set, we were presented with a calendar of the construction process and how it would unfold. That came complete with time frames for us to decide on light fixtures, plumbing, flooring, siding, etc. It was such a win-win process as they were here almost every day checking progress, answering questions. The subs that were hired by BSB were professional and friendly also.
We are so pleased with this experience and our new house, that we have recommended Big Sky Builders to two of our friends who are also looking at building.

My wife, Son, and I would like to thank Ray, Casey and Caleb for building our dream Lee Kierig home here in Hamilton. Each day we marvel at the beauty of our home and of course that wonderful view of the Bitterroot Mountains.
For over 25 years while living in Virginia I planned on building a log home. I attended dozens of log home seminars and workshops. All that changed when we were looking for land with our real estate agent Bruce Gould and just by luck happened to drive by a breathtaking home, which you had been built by Big Sky Builders and designed by Lee Kierig. Bruce got us in touch with Lee and Big Sky Builders and then our journey together began.
We bought our land and met with Ray and Casey and Caleb. Each summer when we returned to Montana we would meet with Big Sky Builders and walk the land to find the perfect location.
Although we met with several others builders in the Valley, no matter whom we talked to, bankers, real estate agents or local merchants the story about Big Sky Builders was always the same “You can’t go wrong with the Tiptons. Their word is their honor’’.
We certainly found that to be the case. Most of all, your patience, professionalism and craftsmanship are second to none. My wife and I have had other custom homes built. I myself have plenty of horror stories about my experiences. So I expected some bumps in the road, but there were none except those we created by changing plans, fixtures, heating systems, floor plans and many other hundreds of modifications we made along the way. Again your patience and professional insight was greatly appreciated.
Casey was great, as the project manager. Always available, not tomorrow or the next day but now. “Sure, I’ll be there in 10 minutes” was his consistent reply. It is so nice to meet and work with a young man of his caliber. Polite, knowledgeable and an eye for that added touch which brought out the beauty and functionality of our home.
When people comment about our beautiful home, we say with pride “This is a Big Sky Builders home, and it truly was a beautiful building experience.”

We had a wonderful, stress free building experience with Big Sky Builders. Our project manager was on site almost everyday throughout construction. He made suggestions that made our home unique to us, while keeping us close to our budget. We were happy with all the sub-contractors that were used. Through construction we were on schedule and were able to move into our home a few days early. We would highly recommend Big Sky Builders to anyone who is considering building a home in the western Montana area.

We had Big Sky Builders build a new home for us. We communicated long distance as we were living in New Mexico and building the home in Montana. They posted pictures on a website weekly during the build so we could see the progress. They responded immediately to any questions or problems we had. They hire quality subconractors and guarantee all work for one year. They built us a quality, beautiful home with many custom features. We would not hesitate to recommend Big Sky Builders to anyone wanting to remodel or build a new home.
