Bighorn Builders LLC was founded with one mission: raise the standard of construction in Southeast Idaho. Meet the team behind the work.
Bighorn Builders LLC was founded by Jason Kirby and James Smith with one clear mission: to raise the standard of construction in Southeast Idaho.
After graduating high school in 2015, Jason served in the United States Marine Corps, where he developed the discipline, precision, and leadership that define his work today. Following his service, he spent a decade in the construction industry — gaining extensive hands-on experience and seeing opportunities to deliver higher-quality craftsmanship than what many builders offered.
His business partner, James Smith, brings over 15 years of experience across all areas of construction. His deep technical knowledge and broad skill set ensure that every project reflects the highest standards of quality and durability.
Together, Jason and James founded Bighorn Builders on the values of craftsmanship, integrity, and reliability — committed to building structures that are built to last, and built right.
We don't cut corners. Every joint, every beam, every finish is done with the same precision we'd want in our own homes.
We say what we'll do and we do what we say. No surprises, no runaround. Just straight answers and honest work.
We show up on time, we answer the phone, and we finish what we start. That alone sets us apart in this industry.
We live and work here. Every structure we build is designed for Idaho's climate, Idaho's landscape, and Idaho people.
After serving in the United States Marine Corps, Jason spent a decade building his construction career from the ground up. He founded Bighorn Builders on the belief that Idaho deserves better craftsmanship — and he leads every project with the discipline and precision the Corps taught him.
James brings over 15 years of hands-on experience across every area of construction — from groundwork and concrete to carpentry and metalwork. His deep technical knowledge and broad skill set mean no job is outside the scope of what Bighorn Builders can handle.
