We love what we do and what we can do for you. With our experience and your vision, great things happen.

We didn’t become one of the Midwest’s fastest-growing construction management companies by doing more – we did it by doing better. While our development and construction experience spans a wide variety of commercial construction sectors, including faith-based, healthcare and mixed-use facilities, it’s our expertise that sets us apart. We’re always growing our skills and exploring new technologies to better serve the changing needs of our clients and their communities.

“I have done multiple projects through my ministry years. The Catalyst Construction team is by far the most thorough, most efficient, and most ministry-minded of any I’ve worked with. Everyone I have recommended Catalyst to has had the same experience.”

Mark Weigt, The Ridge Church

“Catalyst Construction’s knowledge and experience has contributed to cost savings during the entire course of our project and added to the intrinsic value of our building. Their dedication and attention to detail were particularly impressive, and are responsible for the smoothness in which the work on the building progressed.”

Max Dermond, Dermond Property Investment

“Catalyst Construction asked us for our vision for the church – and then they helped us to see it through. We have been so incredibly pleased with the way they put people before budget or anything else. As a company, they’re the perfect combination of a personal touch and professionalism.”

Pastor Matthew Short, St. Luke Lutheran Church

“Your entire team, from top to bottom, has displayed honesty and integrity throughout the various projects we have worked on. I look forward to the opportunity of having you service our construction needs in the future.”
