Wisconsin construction company expands millwork division with dedicated facility

APPLETON, Wis. — Consolidated Construction Company Inc., a full-service commercial design build contractor headquartered in Appleton, Wisconsin, has expanded its in-house millwork division by opening a dedicated cabinet and carpentry facility in the town of Clayton, just outside Neenah, which is about 40 miles southwest of Green Bay.

The new facility, formerly home to Tuttle Lake Woodworking and located near the junction of Highways 10 and 76, significantly increases the company’s production capacity. Consolidated has acquired not only the building and specialized equipment, but also welcomed several skilled professionals from Tuttle Lake to join its carpentry team—an important investment at a time when skilled trades are increasingly difficult to find.

This expansion continues a deliberate strategy to build out Consolidated’s in-house carpentry capabilities. It follows the company’s 2016 partnership with Vincent Wood Works and the 2022 acquisition of the former James J. Calmes Construction.

“Our clients depend on us to deliver high-quality interior finishes on time and on budget, particularly in large-scale, time-sensitive projects like hotels, apartment complexes, and healthcare facilities,” said John Schneider, CEO of Consolidated Construction. “By strengthening our in-house millwork division, we improve quality control and scheduling during the final stages of construction—without compromising the craftsmanship our clients expect.”
