OUR PHILOSOPHY – THE GOLDEN RULE
TREAT CUSTOMERS HOW YOU WANT TO BE TREATED
TREAT EMPLOYEES HOW YOU WANT TO BE TREATED
Treating employees with honesty, respect, and dignity has produced a responsible, professional workforce who takes pride in their craft and the quality of their work.
Your company’s brand should be a reflection of who you really are…not simply what you want customers to think. By staying true to our values, we never have to pretend to be something we’re not. Customers both recognize and appreciate this commitment when partnering with Fowler and Hammer, Inc.

OUR HISTORY
Robert “Bob” Fowler, P.E., a civil engineering graduate of Marquette University, founded Fowler & Hammer, Inc. on January 22, 1963. Bob truly loved his work — from his early experience with a large concrete contractor, to his war years as a Navy Seabee constructing airfields throughout the Pacific Ocean.
His simple formula for success paired quality construction with competitive pricing in order to guarantee customer satisfaction and build long-lasting relationships.
Bob was fascinated with draft horses and the teamwork they displayed. Fowler and Hammer, Inc. actually bought a team of Belgians named “King and Queen” to clear the land where the company is located today on Monitor Street in La Crosse, Wisconsin. The horses were stabled in the company yard in what is still referred to today as “the horse barn.”
After Bob’s passing in 1984, Jim Fowler, P.E., LEED AP, and Sue (Fowler) Christopherson continued the family legacy by leading a team of dedicated construction professionals into the next chapter of our company’s history.
Over the past three decades, their commitment to utilizing a corporate philosophy based on “The Golden Rule”, produced a professional workforce that takes pride in their craft and the quality of their work.
The majority of the success Fowler & Hammer has enjoyed can be attributed back to their basic philosophy of treating employees and customers how they would want to be treated. Their dedication to Fowler & Hammer, its employees, and our community has provided the building blocks for future company success.
Jim and Sue have scaled back their roles in day-to-day operations, but will both remain employees of Fowler & Hammer, Inc. Jim has taken on the role of Senior Estimator and Sue will remain in the accounting department as an Accounting Specialist.
