Commercial Buildings

Putting You in Business

Pre-engineered wood-frame systems are one of the fastest growing construction methods for low-rise commercial buildings. Why? They go up faster and are less expensive, so owners can turn a quicker ROI. Count on Lester’s engineers to help you achieve a building that is:

• Affordable: less expensive than stud frame, steel or masonry
• Quick-Up: 30 percent faster than other construction methods
• Turnkey: we can oversee planning, design, build and/or expansion through completion
• Interior and Exterior Options: choose literally any shape, style and finish desired
• Energy Efficient: many features increase energy efficiency and decrease overhead

“In our role as an architect and general contractor, we have a responsibility to deliver the best solution at the best price. The decision to include Lester Buildings in our custom project was beneficial to our company and our client. We considered many different construction options – steel frame, concrete block, precast concrete, stick-frame wood – and found Lester to be the best value for the shell structure.  It allowed us great flexibility for us to customize the interior spaces. Well done, Lester!”
