In their words
What clients say after working with LPD
Lightyears ahead of the competition
“The way LPD quoted everything, especially compared to other contractors we solicited, was light years ahead. That coupled with good communication was what sold us on selecting LPD.”
Responsive from the start
“LPD was responsive from the get go, very supportive through preconstruction, design, permitting and construction…”
Fair and transparent pricing
“LPD did an amazing job remodeling our restaurant’s bar. I had gotten 5 different quotes before picking LPD. We went with LPD because their pricing was fair and outlined with details versus other contractors not being able to commit to a price.”
Worked around our schedule
“LPD was quick to respond with an estimate and worked with us on a weekend-only schedule. Steve gave honest feedback even though it decreased his contract value.”

Capabilities
One firm across the full life of a property.
From a tenant improvement to a full-building renovation, the same team prices, permits and builds the work, so owners never need a second GC.
Commercial tenant improvements
Tenant improvements and tenant turns for retail, office, industrial, hospitality and restaurant space, including service upgrades.
Capital improvements and full-building renovation
Whole-building renovations, with scope, budget and schedule confirmed up front.
Ground-up construction
Commercial and mixed-use buildings from the ground up, delivered design-build where the project calls for it.
Older buildings
Conversions and rebuilds of older buildings that keep original interior finishes where the project allows.
Seismic retrofit and structural reconstruction
Seismic strengthening and structural rebuilds, including the sprinkler, life-safety, ADA and code scope a tenant-improvement permit triggers.
Accessibility and code upgrades
ADA entries, doors and restrooms, plus the sprinkler, life-safety and structural upgrades a permit triggers, priced up front.
Commercial space turnover and repairs
Retail, office, restaurant and mixed-use commercial space turnovers, repairs and building-wide renovations, plus separate utility metering.
Restaurant, bar and retail
Bar and restaurant remodels, storefronts and ADA upgrades, scheduled around the business, including weekend-only work.

Owners, investors and lenders
Know the real cost before you commit capital.
Real estate funds, institutional owners and owner-operators bring us in before they buy, refinance or reposition. We walk the building with you and price what it will actually take, line by line, so the number in your model is a number we would build to.
Book a Site WalkPre-acquisition cost estimates
An itemized cost to bring a building to your business plan: renovation, tenant improvements, and the seismic, sprinkler, life-safety and ADA upgrades a permit will trigger, with unknowns flagged before you close.
Capital improvement budgets
Phased capital plans across a hold period, with base-building and tenant work priced apart, ready for an investment committee or lender review.
Owner’s representation and construction management
An experienced builder on your side of the table: scope, bids, schedule, change orders and close-out managed for the owner, whether or not LPD builds the work.
Repositioning and value-add delivery
Once you own it, the same team that priced it builds it: full-building renovation, commercial repositioning and lease-up tenant improvements.
Site walk, no obligation
A written, line-by-line price.
Send us an address. Here is what you get:
- A walk with the person who prices it. No drawings needed. On site, over Zoom, or a 10-minute call.
- You get a written, line-by-line price. Every trade itemized, with assumptions and unknowns stated plainly.
- Code, seismic and ADA items priced in. The upgrades a permit will trigger, found now instead of mid-construction.
- Alternates side by side. So you can cut cost where it will not hurt the space.
- Yours to keep, whether or not you hire us. Use it to check other bids or take it to your lender.
The site walk comes with no obligation. No follow-up calls you didn’t ask for. We reply within one business day to set a time.
Brokers and architects: copy us on an email to your client and we take it from there. We keep you informed from the first walk.
