LG Pre-Construction

Success starts before a tool is lifted. We work with our clients to create a plan, and keep them involved and informed at every step of the way.  LG’s pre-construction checklist covers every step of the way, including:

  • Assembling the right project team, from architects to attorneys, designers and engineers, realtors and inspectors, builders and finishers
  • Defining the scope and budget of your project, creating the design concept, and formalizing the blueprints
  • Securing all necessary permits, ordering project materials, establishing a full building schedule, and ensuring on-site safety

From boutique restaurants and retail to multi-unit commercial spaces,  LG Construction has managed it all! Our customized design-build and pre-construction services make sure you get exactly what you want for your lifestyle and budget, with no surprises. We listen and inform, and believe that building a new project should be a fun, participatory experience for you, without worry, anxiety, or unpredictability.

LG Construction Group

Our roots are in high-end, custom, single-family homes, and that tradition of detail continues today. Whether you’re building a home, restaurant, or a large mixed-unit commercial building, we’re here to help! We understand our clients are building around their lifestyle, needs, and budget, and we make sure to keep them in the loop at every stage of the build. Building is a monumental life event, so we want to make sure the experience is not only enjoyable, but free of worry or unpredictability. We also offer project budgeting, value-engineering design, and construction execution.

Nick Siewerth

Senior Project Manager

Team: Multi Family & Mixed-Use Projects
Years at LG: Three

Growing up in Arlington Heights, IL, Nick’s father worked in the trades as a concrete laborer, which always piqued Nick’s curiously about construction. His passion for building lead him to receive his Bachelor of Science in Industrial Technology and Construction Management at Illinois State University.

Outside of work, Nick enjoys spending his time with his wife and Irish triplets; two boys and a girl, all within a year of the next. On the rare occasion he has time for himself, he’s on the ice playing hockey or the course, playing a round.

Zack Stanley

Senior Project Manager

Team: Residential, Multi Family, and Commercial Projects
Years at LG: Four

Born and raised in Orland Park, IL, Zack went to Illinois State University where he received a degree in Business Administration. His construction background blends well within his family tree, which has 3 architects, 2 engineers, and an industrial designer.

In his free time, he’s passionate about giving back to his local community, Logan Square, and enjoys outdoor activities like hiking, camping, motorcycling, and most of all, hitting the links. It’s a good thing he loves to build because you’ll often find him helping friends and family members with home projects, most recently renovating a kitchen and building a set of loft beds.
