2017 PROFESSIONAL RECOGNITION
This year, LCG was ranked by ENR number 10 in the nation for wastewater treatment construction. This is up from number 12 last year. We have also improved our ranking in two other areas: ENR Top 400 National Contractors, from 282 to 259; ENR Top 200 Environmental Contractors, from 62 to 44. This is the first year that ENR analyzed firms in the design-build market; LCG was ranked 92 in the Top 100 Design-Build Firms. LCG also held steady with its ranking of 39 in the ENR California Top Contracting Firms. Our capacity to rank high in these areas is exceptional for a self-performing contractor, as the lists are dominated by publicly traded CM firms delivering mega projects where they typically don’t self-perform their work.
Our ability to meet the needs of our clients on challenging projects is what we strive for, where we excel, and what will keep us at the forefront of California construction.
