Estimating & Pre-Construction

The LEW Estimating Team is a group of seasoned construction professionals that bring a wealth of field expertise to the pre-construction process. Our senior estimators have worked in the field and experienced the elements – mud, heat, and cold and understand what it takes to achieve production and meet the schedule in various geologic/soil conditions and terrains.

As the LEW estimators study drawings and build the estimate, they visualize cutting and filling a vast site to grade & installing storm water and underground utilities at various depths. They fully understand how to sequence & build a project with the appropriate equipment, crews, subcontractors, and materials, and how to transform the scope of work in to competitive cost estimate.

The result is a well thought-out proposal that gives our customers the confidence of having a qualified number when putting together a general construction proposal or obtaining project financing.

When all four of these elements are held to a high standard, they form a successful project. Our team understands it is our duty and responsibility to protect all four of these important elements for our customers. We’re not only in the business of construction – we’re in the business of caring for our clients and keeping them in business.

Unexpected issues that arise due to unforeseen existing conditions and changing weather must be effectively managed. We realize it takes constant communication and teamwork to develop solutions, in order to achieve ongoing success.

At LEW we have a high regard for the foreman and crews of expert, heavy equipment operators & skilled laborers. They are the ones that make it happen. We believe our focus on their success turns in to LEW’s success. Our high regard for field teams are matched by their dedication and accountability to carry out a high degree of safety, quality workmanship, and productivity.
