Dynamic’s approach to a project starts long before the first shovel goes into the ground: listen to the client, build an execution plan centered on safety, and adapt as conditions change. Safety is treated as a non-negotiable across every job site, from a hyperscale data center build to a storm-barrier to protect a region for the next century.
CEO Zach Butterworth has seen that discipline pay off from more than one side of the table. Before leading Dynamic, he spent years on the government side of major construction programs, an experience, he says, that showed him the best contractors listen before they build.

“Every client has a different challenge, and you have to understand the problem before you can build the right solution,” Butterworth says. “At Dynamic, we start by listening to what the client is trying to accomplish, understanding the pressures and constraints they are working under, and then building the best solution around their needs.”
It is a philosophy that shows up first in Dynamic’s mission critical work on hyperscale data center campuses where schedule certainty is everything and the margin for error is razor-thin. The same discipline carries into flood-protection infrastructure, like the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers’ regional flood protection project, and into disaster recovery work that rebuilds communities at scale.
“On a mission-critical hyperscale project, the client’s priority is safety, communication, certainty and the flexibility to keep the overall project on schedule,” Butterworth says. “When we build flood protection for the Army Corps, tens of thousands of families are relying on us to deliver. The challenges are different, but our approach is the same: listen first, understand what the client needs and build the right solution for them.”
Much of that flexibility comes down to capability. Rather than subcontracting out most of a project, Dynamic executes many scopes across clearing, grading, foundations, pile driving, concrete and site logistics with owned equipment, along with building construction and interiors spanning hundreds of thousands of square feet.
“That breadth allows us to bring more of the solution under one roof with our divisions taking the lead,” Butterworth says.
The company pairs that in-house capacity with a deliberate push to hire locally and bring on local subcontractors and vendors wherever it’s working.
“By bringing people from the community into the project, we build relationships and create trust around the broader work being done,” he says.
It also keeps clients close to the process. Butterworth and Dynamic’s executive team personally checks in regularly, and gives clients direct access to Dynamic’s leadership, project teams and crews.
“We bring ideas and solutions to the table, listen to their direction and make decisions together,” he says. “We want our clients to know we are working alongside them toward the same outcome.”
