Commercial Construction Careers
We Are…
Everyday Culture
Our company DNA reflects strong relationships, positive attitudes, and an unwavering commitment to standout results.
We prioritize personal and professional growth, developing clear, individualized goals for both our office and field employees, as well as funding outside training and seminars. Ultimately, wherever our employees want to go in their careers — we provide the tools and foster the skills they’ll need to get there.
We also listen. Both our office and field employees meet regularly with leadership to discuss challenges, successes, and suggestions for company-wide improvements. These invaluable one-on-one sessions allow Ideal leadership to form a deeper connection with all employees and facilitate a happy, productive, and sustainable work environment.

Local Culture
There’s No Place Like Madison
We couldn’t be more proud to be based in Madison, Wisconsin. Our city continuously ranks among the best in the nation for resident satisfaction, healthy and active lifestyles, safe neighborhoods, excellent schools, and access to award-winning dining and phenomenal entertainment, not to mention it’s home to the University of Wisconsin-Madison (and Badger sports). And all of this coupled with a casual, down-to-earth, small-town vibe make Madison the ideal home for individuals and families of all shapes and sizes.
Career Initiatives
We also support many organizations — including Operation Fresh Start and Big Step — that provide a path forward through education, training, and employment. Through these groups, we’ve hired and mentored individuals eager to launch a career within the construction industry. We’re also proud to maintain a close, supportive relationship with Carpenters Union Local 314.
