Company Profile
The Boldt Company
Company Overview
Boldt is one of the largest professional construction services firms in the nation. From the original storefront carpentry shop opened by Martin Boldt in 1889, we have grown into a national organization, offering world-class construction services, including Integrated Lean Project Delivery® construction management, general construction, design/build, real estate development, program management, consulting and technical services. Yet, to this day, we remain owned and operated by the Boldt family, the foundation of our strong values base.
Our long-standing values are honesty, fairness, performance, hard work and a love of what we do. These values define our culture, and our employees embrace and live them.
As we see it, our customers' expectations are clear: to receive the most creative, innovative and effective solutions possible, within budget and on schedule. In short, they expect value. So we maintain multiple full-service branch offices around the country, with a self-performing work force of more than 2,000 skilled workers, plus a full complement of seasoned professionals in all disciplines.
These proven experts use their knowledge to its fullest for the benefit of our customers. They collaborate and innovate, think and rethink, and try new ideas. Above all, they develop unique solutions to what are often unique challenges.
We call this empowered process BoldThinking®, and it provides many opportunities for saving time and money and results in a project with greater value for the customer.
Company History
Since 1889, through good times and hardship, wartime and peace, economic expansion and financial collapse, Boldt has stayed true to its founding values.

Notable Accomplishments / Recognition
Boldt is a national leader in Integrated Project Delivery and in implementing Lean manufacturing principles within the construction industry.
Since 1964, the productivity rate within the industrial and manufacturing market sectors has more than doubled. Yet during this same period of time, the productivity rate within the construction industry has fallen by nearly 50 percent. Despite all of the advancements in equipment, technology and materials, the construction industry is less productive today than it was in 1964.
Current conventional construction delivery practices such as design/bid/build, design/build, and construction management services do nothing to address the inefficiencies within the construction industry. They simply mask these inefficiencies and give the purchaser of construction and construction-related services a false sense of economy.
The introduction of Integrated Project Delivery (IPD) begins to get at the heart of these inefficiencies that exist within the construction industry by bringing together all of the necessary knowledge, skill and expertise in a manner that ensures that individual needs are in alignment with the project goals. Boldt then takes the process one step further by introducing modern Lean manufacturing philosophies and eliminating redundancy and waste throughout the process.
Integrated Lean Project Delivery® (ILPD) puts Boldt in a class of our own. Unlike construction firms that focus only on IPD and collaboration, Boldt also seeks to eliminate waste at every part of the project life cycle.
From initial planning and design, through exploration of value-engineering possibilities, to on-site construction process, we set out to predict where waste may occur. Eliminating waste creates value that is added directly to the bottom line.
By rigorously integrating Lean into IPD, Boldt is bringing more value to every customer by better managing scarce resources.
