Martel Construction

Martel Construction, Inc., based in Bozeman, Montana, was founded in 1968 by Emil Martel, a German-born carpenter, along with his son. What began as a modest family endeavor—starting with a single speculative house in Bozeman—has grown into one of Montana’s most respected general contracting firms. 

Over the decades, Martel Construction expanded its services beyond residential work, taking on large-scale commercial, educational, and institutional projects throughout the state. With operations in the Bozeman, Big Sky, Missoula, and Kalispell markets, the company employs around 200 people and handles projects in excess of $100,000,000. 

Despite its growth, Martel has remained rooted in family leadership and values but transitioned into employee-shareholder ownership while maintaining its commitment to integrity, safety, and craftsmanship.

With over five decades of experience, Martel Construction continues to play a key role in shaping Montana’s built environment.
