THE BEGINNING
OF SOMETHING
THAT LASTS.
Catalyst [ka-tə-ləst] Noun: An agent that speeds significant change or action.
Since 2004, Catalyst Construction has been spearheading the Midwest’s most exciting and substantial building and development projects and establishing itself as Milwaukee’s premier construction firm. Named by the Milwaukee Business Journal as one of southeastern Wisconsin’s fastest growing companies for seven consecutive years from 2011 to 2018, Catalyst’s exponential growth has been the direct result of its existence as purely a construction management organization with no self-performing workforce. Utilizing this business model allows Catalyst to ensure that our invaluable customers receive competitive bids in all work categories – both union and non-union – without conflict of interest among the trades. It is a philosophy that breeds greater creativity, more cooperative collaboration, and a better finished product for a more inspiring and positively impactful community aesthetic.
With several million square feet (and counting!) of successful project completions under our collective belt, our development and construction expertise spans a broad spectrum of commercial construction uses including hospitality, corporate office, healthcare, residential, faith-based, and senior living, and multi-use facilities. Catalyst’s seasoned professionals are LEED accredited and have comprehensive knowledge of the latest building systems, financing strategies, and grant and funding opportunities. Taken together, all of this along with our core values and customer-focused team approach allows us to deliver maximum value on every project. We are Catalyst Construction and we build great buildings that inspire great communities.
