Four Point Business Philosophy
LCW History
A Story of Success
The winter of 1984 saw the emergence of a new commercial general contractor in Winchester, VA. Beginning with two small projects, two foremen, a secretary and three field workers, Allen D. Ervin began the successful journey of developing LCW. Our initial projects, the Dickey Ridge Comfort Station and the Scott Plastics industrial renovations, both in Warren County VA, had combined contract values of $250,000. This was quite a humble beginning for a company that today has completed single projects in the $20 million range. LCW’s success is attributable to several core principles: a strong work ethic; uncompromising safety standards; and the business philosophy put in place in our early years. That ongoing philosophy commits to building quality projects at acceptable costs and on-time schedules while providing outstanding customer service.
Success in the early years allowed us to grow our company into a well-recognized name in the construction industry serving the tri-state area of Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland. LCW has become a complete, turn-key commercial general contractor offering services in; land acquisition support; pre-construction services (preliminary budgeting, value engineering, design-build opportunities, etc.); construction management; and skilled construction operations.
Never forgetting our roots, LCW still constructs small commercial jobs as well as larger commercial projects, like the Shenandoah County Sheriff’s Office, A.S. Rhodes Elementary School, and the Orlean Volunteer Fire Department. Working on projects involving concrete, masonry, wood, steel, and pre-engineered steel structures allows us the ability to construct or renovate any commercial or industrial facility type.
Our experienced and dedicated staff, including engineers, estimators and project managers, together with our highly skilled field superintendents and field crews, is more than willing and able to exceed your expectations.
Built on Experience, Relationships, and Accountability
LCW Construction has grown from a small Winchester, Virginia based construction company into a trusted commercial general contractor serving Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland. The company’s growth has been shaped by the same values that guided early projects: trust, integrity, value, safety, and a commitment to doing the work the right way.
LCW’s team brings together experienced estimators, engineers, project managers, superintendents, and field crews who understand the responsibility that comes with every commercial construction project. Each project represents a major investment for the client, and LCW approaches that responsibility with careful planning, clear communication, and dependable execution.
The company’s long-standing presence in the region allows LCW to understand local project needs, site conditions, permitting considerations, and construction expectations. From small commercial improvements to large-scale projects, LCW remains focused on building relationships that last beyond the final walkthrough.
A Team Prepared for Complex Commercial Projects
Commercial construction requires more than manpower. It requires organization, leadership, technical knowledge, safety awareness, and the ability to adapt when conditions change. LCW Construction brings those qualities to every project.
With services that include general contracting, design-build, pre-construction, construction management, and industrial solutions, LCW is able to support clients at different stages of the building process. The team can help owners evaluate early project goals, develop budgets, review design decisions, coordinate construction, and manage the details needed to bring the project to completion.
LCW’s self-performed capabilities also give the company greater control over critical scopes of work. This helps support quality, scheduling, and accountability across a wide range of project types.
Commitment to Clients Across the Tri-State Region
LCW Construction serves clients across Virginia, West Virginia, and Maryland with the goal of making the construction process clearer and more reliable. The team understands that clients need a contractor who can listen, plan, communicate, and follow through.
That commitment is reflected in LCW’s mission: every client deserves the best the team has to offer, every project should meet high standards, and every relationship should be stronger when the project is complete.
For clients looking for an experienced commercial contractor with regional knowledge and a relationship-first approach, LCW Construction continues to provide the leadership, field experience, and accountability needed to support successful projects.
