Clear Scope. Firm Pricing. Strong Execution.

For projects where the design is already finalized and the path is clearly defined, General Contracting (GC) offers a straightforward construction delivery model.

At LCM, we bring the same level of rigour, care, and attention to detail to our GC projects as we do to our design-build work. The difference? Your drawings guide the scope—we guide the outcome.

A Fit for Well-Defined Projects

In the traditional GC model, the owner or developer hires a design consultant to create permit-ready construction documents. From there, several general contractors are invited to bid based on that fixed scope.

If your plans are complete, your budget is clear, and your timeline is locked in, general contracting may be the right approach.

What makes LCM different is how we handle everything that happens after we’re awarded the job. We don’t simply coordinate trades—we manage the full execution with proactive communication, quality oversight, and risk mitigation baked into the process.

Accountability That Goes Beyond the Contract

As your General Contractor, we manage:

  • Procurement of all trades and materials

  • Site logistics, scheduling, and safety

  • Quality control and deficiency resolution

  • Coordination with landlords, consultants, and inspectors

  • Clear, timely updates to keep you informed without being overwhelmed

We work with an established network of trusted trades and suppliers—selected for both quality and dependability. When challenges arise, we don’t deflect or delay—we solve, document, and keep things moving.

When General Contracting Works Best

General contracting is a strong fit when:

  • A complete set of construction drawings has been issued

  • You’re comfortable managing or retaining your own consultants

  • Your budget and scope are well-defined with limited flexibility

  • You want to competitively price the construction phase

  • The project benefits from traditional tendering and clear contractor boundaries

Not Just a Bid—A Builder You Can Trust

In today’s cost-sensitive market, fixed-price contracts offer clarity—but they can also lead to friction when unforeseen issues arise. At LCM, we approach general contracting the way we approach every project: collaboratively, constructively, and with your long-term goals in mind.

If you’re looking for a builder who will treat your vision with care, manage the process with discipline, and advocate for your success throughout—let’s talk.

Ready to move your project forward?

Starting is exciting. Staying aligned is where most projects go sideways. At LCM, we’ve shaped a process that protects the strategy—not just the schedule.

Because it’s not just about what gets built—it’s about whether it performs the way you need it to.
