About Us
Leading with Experience and Vision
Where Dedication Builds More Than Structures
Beginning in the early 1990s, three industry professionals came together—each with more than thirty years of hands-on experience—to bring their shared vision to life. At the heart of their mission was a desire to redefine industry culture, building something greater not only for the company, but for the people who would be part of it. They cultivated an environment rooted in hard work, respected timelines, and trusted budgets. With this foundation, Plocher Construction was born.
Starting with small-scale residential sidewalk replacement projects, the company quickly gained traction. Through consistent delivery of superior results, we earned a reputation for being reliable, efficient, and committed to quality—both by our partners and our clients.
Backed by a team of exceptionally skilled professionals, we continue to provide experiences that thrive on diversity, craftsmanship, and a relentless pursuit of excellence.
Over time, the founders watched their vision evolve into the successful enterprise it is today. Plocher Construction now stands as a leading provider and one of the largest privately owned construction firms in the Midwest, setting itself apart from the competition.
