General Contracting
Two Decades of Trusted Construction Services

General contracting has been the method of project delivery that most end users are familiar with. Compared to Construction Management or Design / Build project delivery though, it can be more expensive, time consuming and frustrating for all parties involved.

This is because in general contracting the project owner contracts separate parties to handle key project components including; site selection, design (engineering & architecture) and project management. The owner then engages a General Contractor (GC) such as LCS to provide specified construction services for a fixed price, that is agreed upon in advance by the GC and owner.

In general contracting, both owner and contractor share project risks. Owners are protected from cost overruns that result from quoting errors. Any cost-savings though realized during construction are credited to the GC. Any design plans errors and omissions or project delays not attributable to the GC can increase project costs, and cause delays.

As a General Contractor with over two decades of experience you can be assured of a project team dedicated to uncompromising quality, and a customer centered mind set that puts your interests first. LCS provides competitive bids for plan and spec projects – and we proactively advise you up front of any design issues that could result in delays and/or cost increases.
