Meet Your Contractors

Minnesota Building Solutions

We're a team of general contractors who believe in getting our hands dirty to get the job done, that sawdust is the mark of a day well spent, and that you should always measure twice and cut once.

Get to Know Us

AS GENERAL CONTRACTORS,

Our mission is to bring you quality construction, on time, at a fair price.

If you’ve ever found yourself managing a renovation or overseeing a major building overhaul, you know the workload can feel overwhelming.

Coordinating contractors, managing finances, and navigating unexpected setbacks take time away from your job and family. With so many moving pieces it’s no wonder you end up well over budget with no end in sight to what you thought would be an exciting and straightforward update.

Managing a construction project, even a small one, can turn into a full-time job. Fortunately for you, it doesn’t have to. Minnesota Building Solutions is here to lighten the load by handling the logistics and heavy lifting.

You don’t need to become a general contractor to build your perfect space. That’s why we’re here.

WE BELIEVE ANY JOB WORTH DOING IS WORTH DOING WELL.

MBS Values

HONESTY

We’ll be straightforward with how much a project will cost, how much time it will take, and if we can confidently do the job right to meet your expectations. You can trust us to communicate throughout every stage of the project, so there are no surprises along the way.

INTEGRITY

We will never leave you with an unfinished job or an extra bill at the end of a project. Your business is highly valued and we often work off of referrals. We would never jeopardize our reputation or your peace of mind.

QUALITY

We never cut corners. Every detail is accounted for from the labels on the pipes being easy to find the the light switches being placed right where you want them. Even the details you won’t see are done with quality materials to get the job done right.

AJ Hilpisch, Owner & General Contractor

“In commercial and residential construction no day is the same and that’s what drew me to the construction industry. Even as a kid I liked building things and figuring things out so I got started right out of high school.

While I’ve loved the challenges each new job brings, another area I’ve come to enjoy is getting to know the people impacted by our work.

A lot of times we are working with employees of the business where we’re working or are in and out of homes where families live. I always want to treat them with kindness and respect and be aware of their needs in the space.

Getting to know our customers as people makes this job a lot more fun. We strive to build long-lasting partnerships and you really can’t do that if you’re not getting to know who you’re doing business with. A little insight into their goals and how they spend their days helps us create the perfect plan and solution just for them.”


We’re in the business of
commercial construction…

but our clients will tell you we’re in the
business of building partnerships.
We’re here to help you expand your business and create the spaces you finally love.

  • I have worked for McDonalds for over 30 years and have dealt with many types of contractors. The guys at MBS have been the best I’ve ever worked with. They get what you need done in a timely manner and I have never had an issue with any of the jobs they’ve done for me.
