Systems West, Inc. has proven to be reliable by passing the ultimate test: time. Systems West is a third-generation family-owned business based in Litchfield, Minnesota. Glen Doering started the company in the 1960s as an agricultural construction company. In the late 70s, Glen’s son Ray Doering took the company from its humble agricultural beginnings to the commercial construction industry. Systems West soon grew into the leading local commercial contractor. Today, Eric and Mike Doering are continuing to lead and grow the company’s capabilities and satisfied customer base throughout the Midwest.

We are dedicated to providing uncompromising service to our clients and professional growth and fulfillment for our employees. We listen to our clients, share their values, and respond to their needs. In short, we take great pride in helping our clients see their dream become a reality.

Our commitment to building solid, lasting relationships is evident in our continued success. We strive to develop business relationships based on respect, trust, and honesty. This is what we firmly believe sets us apart from other companies and what has provided us with a list of distinguished past customers. With every project we work on, our goal is to have a final product that our customer, community, and company are all proud to be a part of.

Our expertise and experience has grown to all facets of construction. Our rich history was built around commercial projects, primarily through the use of pre-engineered steel buildings. Throughout the years, we have used steel buildings in a wide array of applications.

Today we are a full-service Design-Build company that can handle any of your contracting needs. We create a building that works for you by combining creative design capabilities with quality products in masonry, concrete, wood, or steel. We take our customers’ visions and turn them into reality. From concept to completion, Systems West has the knowledge and experience to make the entire process enjoyable and worry-free.
