Holt thrives on its reputation as a quality construction company that maintains its core values and "family" atmosphere while providing the best services to our clients.

    Our team's experience, training and backgrounds have allowed us to work within the most sensitive markets, including data centers, Class A secure buildings, airports as well as the healthcare and pharmaceutical industries for over 80 years.

Our extensive project portfolio and repeat clientele are testament to our quality of work and ability to develop and maintain long-term client relationships.

    Holt 's management philosophy is to be managers of the construction process, not just overseers and recorders of the process.
