About Us

Dovetail Construction is the realization of a childhood dream shared by two lifelong friends. Ever since Kevin and Tim met back in kindergarten, the two things they always wanted to do was to live in the mountains, and to build. As adults, both obtained degrees in engineering and construction management, and, for many years, followed their own paths working on major construction projects across the country (Kevin in New York City; and Tim in Boston, Hawaii, Alaska, and Washington).

Kevin was the first to begin chasing that dream, by escaping from New York to the Rocky Mountains of Montana. Whenever Kevin and Tim got together to reminisce, they’d always come back to that childhood fantasy of building a business together. In 2004, Tim decided it was time to stop just talking about it and moved to Montana — and that’s when Dovetail Construction was founded.

After more than a decade of building a reputation for quality work across the region, it was another friendship that began to write the next chapter of Dovetail’s story.

Tim had met Mike Kerby while working together on a large construction project in Hawaii when they were in their early twenties. Their paths would cross again a few years later in Seattle, cementing their friendship just before Mike moved to Park City, Utah. Adding Kevin to the friendship was a natural next step, and the three would get together to pursue memorable mountain adventures and successful joint-venture projects in Big Sky Country in the years that followed. In 2017, they realized that their people-first approach to construction was very much in alignment, and their friendship became a business partnership. Mike was Sr. Vice President of Big-D Signature — the residential and resort construction arm of the Big-D Family of Companies — and together they realized the potential for a lasting relationship that continues today.
