About Us
Based in Park City, Utah, Big River Builders is the pursuit of an ideal. It's not really about a specific body of water, rather a continuous flow of information and best practices that allows us to build better for you.
Integrated Design Build
Collaboration among the Owner, Architect, Builder and other Trade Partners during the design and planning process is the key to identifying the objectives and arriving at them as efficiently as possible. Our advocacy for this approach aligns us with owners who see the value in careful planning, and offers a welcome change for the plumbers, electricians and HVAC contractors who we bring to the table.
Project Partnership
At the core of the relationship with our clients is our fiduciary responsibility to them. Our books are open, and our integrity is intact. We navigate the complexities of each project as if it were our own. Over time this has proven to be the most valuable characteristic we bring to our projects, and it allows for a true partnership between Big River Builders and its family of homeowners past and present.
“I would not hesitate to recommend Scott and his team to anyone looking for a thoughtful, intelligent and creative approach to problem-solving, and for an excellent end product.”
Scott Johnson
Scott Johnson is a hands-on builder with dual degrees in Engineering and Building Energy Management. After moving to Park City in 1994, Scott trained and worked as a carpenter while learning the artisan skill of laying out and building houses. Over the course of three decades he has developed a sophisticated proprietary approach to project management. Scott's integrity is founded upon the bedrock of his upbringing. As a young adult, he asked his hero (his father), "What have you found to be the most important ingredient in your success?" The answer was simply, "follow through."
Todd Hunter
Todd Hunter is a master craftsman with a lifetime of experience managing hundreds of custom home projects and full building renovations. Todd is the on-site principal for every Big River project, delivering his 40+ years of construction expertise to every detail of your project from the ground up. Todd is adept at all aspects of custom construction, which allows him to guide your project through all stages of construction with poise and efficiency. Todd is equally talented structurally, mechanically, and aesthetically. His deep knowledge and technical abilities allow Big River to take any project from vision to reality.
Eric Miller
Eric Miller has been building high performance thermal enclosures and furthering the integrated-design-build process since 1995. Eric serves as a project manager on Big River's projects and is especially tuned in to projects engaged in advanced-building programs such as LEED, Living Building Challenge, Passive Haus, and Net Zero Energy. With a geology degree from Amherst College, Eric combines his science mind with his building experience to deliver you a comfortable building that sips energy.
Brockman Brunini
Brockman Brunini is a multi-talented graduate of the University of Mississippi with experience in construction estimating, finance, and project management. Brockman supports the flow of Big River projects serving as a liaison between the field and the office, ensuring accurate estimates and thorough execution of project details.
If craftsmanship, creativity, honesty, and reliability are important to you, there is none I could recommend with more conviction to build a house for you than Scott Johnson.
Leadership
For much of the last 30 years Scott, Todd, Eric, and Brockman have developed independently as builders having the opportunity to collaborate closely on several custom projects along the way. In 2022 a confluence of the individual businesses gave way to the ongoing pursuit that is Big River Builders, LLC.
Team
We consider our team of carpenters and site supervisors the most valuable aspect of the business and benefit greatly from their combined training and experience. These craftsmen were hired and retained over time and have been working together on average for 15+ years.
