ABOUT US

Successful construction projects start with trust.

At R. Yoder Construction, we believe exceptional commercial and industrial construction projects begin with strong, collaborative relationships. Headquartered in Northern Indiana and proudly serving Southern Michigan, we are built on a foundation of trust, integrity, and a relentless commitment to people, both our clients and our project partners.

From design-build partnerships to complex government and municipal construction, we lead every project with honesty, transparency, and professionalism. We are hungry in our work, eager to roll up our sleeves and help bring your vision to life. We are humble in our approach, listening first, caring deeply, and collaborating every step of the way. We are smart in how we build, applying industry knowledge, experienced leadership, strong trade partnerships, and disciplined processes to deliver quality workmanship on schedule. We are driven to do what is right, not easy.

Over the years, we have earned the respect of architects, engineers, school corporations, municipalities, and private sector leaders across Indiana and Michigan. We are known not only for the quality of our work, but for how we work with diligence, collaboration, and solutions-focused thinking. Every commercial construction project is an opportunity to exceed expectations and strengthen the culture that defines R. Yoder Construction.

We are meticulous in pre-construction planning, efficient in execution, and focused on delivering a smooth, responsive, and dependable client experience from start to finish. We are uniquely qualified to be your strategic construction partner, invested in your success and committed to building what matters most.

OUR STORY

R. Yoder Construction began in 1978 when Randy Yoder started providing repair and construction services in the greater Nappanee, Indiana area. With a strong work ethic and a commitment to honesty, he quickly earned a reputation for delivering quality craftsmanship, personalized service, and dependable results. As demand grew, we expanded beyond small retail builds to more complex commercial and industrial construction projects across Northern Indiana and Southern Michigan.

Today, we are a leading regional commercial contractor and construction manager with large-scale capabilities and a deep sense of purpose. Under the leadership of Randy’s sons, Jason, Brad, and Kevin, we have grown intentionally while staying rooted in the relational values that shaped our beginning. We deliver high-value projects for private clients, school corporations, government entities, and industrial partners, all with the same integrity that marked our early years.

Driven by a mission to serve with character, excellence, and a commitment to honoring God, we continue to build more than just buildings. We build lasting trust, enduring partnerships, and spaces that serve a greater purpose.
