King Construction was founded in 1947 by Cecil King in response to increasing demand for grain bins. Company headquarters is still in Iowa Falls, Iowa—in fact, the Company has been in the same building for all of its years in business!

Grain bin construction was the Company’s mainstay through the mid 1960s. During the decade of the 1960s, King Construction began expanding into the Industrial and Commercial building markets while maintaining their preferred-builder reputation in the agricultural sector.

In the middle 70's, LaVerne Sharar purchased the company from Cecil King who entered retirement. In 1987. Kevin Knutson acquired the Company from LaVerne Sharar who also retired and added his name to King’s to form the business as it is known today—King-Knutson Construction. Kevin carried on the King tradition of excellence in construction and customer service. The Company was eventually purchased in 1997 by LaVerne's grandsons, Lance and Lincoln Sharar.

King-Knutson Construction has been in continuous operation since its inception in 1947. That same year the Company began its association with Butler Manufacturing and holds the distinction of having the longest relationship with Butler than any other Butler builder in the world.

As Lance and Lincoln Sharar have demonstrated since ownership in 1997, King-Knutson Construction continues to be the builder of choice in Iowa Falls and surrounding areas. Today their strength lies in the strong foundation King-Knutson has built over a half century in business—serving its customers with quality construction and unquestionable integrity in customer service.
