J H Findorff & Son Inc

General information

HISTORY
In 1890, a young carpenter named John Findorff started a construction company under the name J.H. Findorff. Its first project involved carpentry work at the UW-Madison Armory and Gymnasium, better known today as the “Red Gym.” This initial undertaking began a long tradition of Findorff constructing notable structures in southern Wisconsin including UW-Madison’s LaBahn Hockey Arena,
the UW Health at the American Center and many other facilities.

As time progressed, Findorff established itself as a leading builder in the Midwest. The Company has grown to employ an average of 700 people between its Madison and Milwaukee offices. Additionally, our industry experience has earned us over 100 awards in the past 10 years alone, recognizing our commitment to quality construction and civic initiatives.

MILWAUKEE IS OUR HOME TOO
Over 125 years after that first project, Findorff continues to be one of the top contractors in the state of Wisconsin. In Milwaukee, our office has been in the heart of the City for over 40 years. We have had the opportunity to enhance the urban landscape with projects such as Henry Reuss Federal Plaza, Pettit National Ice Center, Alverno College, Marquette University, The Moderne, and Wisconsin’s first Westin Hotel, a 10-story, 220-guest hotel that focuses on wellness. Our commitment to the success of the Milwaukee area is apparent not only in the buildings we construct, but in the relationships we cherish.
