Our construction company was started by my father many years ago in approximately 1977,” begins Tom Holtz, CEO.“ We come from a generation of dairy farmers, and on the farm, everybody needs to pitch in and do their part to ensure the smooth running of the family business. We took that work ethic and familial culture and integrated it into our construction company. Every individual pulls their weight and understands the value that each person brings to the table.” In 1993, Holtz Builders Inc.( HBI) was incorporated, and the company gradually expanded through networking and word of mouth. That is, until 2017, when the business strategically relocated to Wisconsin Dells, the‘ Waterpark Capital of the World’.

“ We’ re not only builders, we’ re also developers,” he continues.“ So, we understand the entire process from finding a piece of land and hiring the right civil and architectural engineers to designing and developing the client’ s vision. We carry out projects from conception to completion. We can perform every single phase of construction and guide our clients through the entire process.”
Tom has been in the building business for over 30 years and has overseen hundreds of projects from waterparks, large multi-family units, and complex remodeling to high-end residential, hotels, restaurants, and other large commercial buildings.
As the Founder and CEO of Holtz Companies, the overseeing company of HBI, Tom oversees all activities of the company and leads by example in maintaining a culture of honesty, transparency, and integrity. His philosophy in life is simple: treat others with kindness and give generously. He follows these beliefs every day by giving back to the communities in which he works, both financially and with his time.
