Northcentral Construction Marks 35 Years in Business

35 Years of Excellence in Commercial Construction

Known for delivering a “better” construction experience, Northcentral has earned a reputation for its collaborative mindset, expertise, and the professionalism and attention to detail that define every project. The team has completed work for major national brands like Starbucks, Wendy’s, Chili’s, Marshalls, TJ Maxx, and Fairfield Inn, along with a wide range of community-focused developments, including multi-family housing, senior living, and adaptive reuse/rehabilitation projects.

“Our success over the past 35 years comes down to experience and people,” said Mark Dudzinski, President and Principal Partner. “Our team is known for creative problem-solving and a solutions-driven mindset — we don’t just build, we find smarter ways to get things done. That’s why our clients continue to put their trust in us.”

While Northcentral has strong expertise across all areas of commercial construction, its additional knowledge in tax credit–funded projects, such as historic preservation and housing, brings added value for developers navigating those opportunities.

But beyond construction, culture is key. The company has built an environment where employees are supported, valued, and empowered to grow. Many team members have been with the company for decades, advancing their careers and taking on new roles over time.

“We’ve built a company culture focused on loyalty, mentorship, and growth,” said Raquel Schraufnagel, CFO and Principal Partner. “Some of our team members started here as apprentices right out of high school, and now hold leadership roles. That’s something we’re incredibly proud of.”

Over the years, Northcentral Construction has also remained committed to giving back, actively supporting local initiatives in Fond du Lac and surrounding communities.

As the company looks to the future, the mission remains the same: to deliver a better construction experience built on trust, quality, and people.
