QUALITY
LSN prides itself on paying attention to the small details that put the finishing touches on a completed project.

-

Award Winning
LSN has been awarded the Historical Excellence Award for the work completed on the Arch Street DayCare Facility. The space was part of the Presbyterian Church located at 18th & Arch Streets in Philadelphia that had not been used in over 90 years. LSN converted the space into a daycare facility that benefits many Center City employees searching for that service.
-
Recognized
LSN was also interviewed for an article published in the Construction Today Magazine for the new construction of the Regional Presbytery Headquarters Building. This 9,000 sq ft new construction facility is the main office for all 137 Presbyterian Churches within the Region. To read the full article, click here.
SAFETY
Our first priority for each project is to identify the specific tasks for the work involved and the associated hazards for those tasks. Once that is established, we perform an analysis to mitigate those hazards.
-
Planning
LSN has a comprehensive safety plan that evolves as the company and technology evolve. We also tailor our safety plan to make it site specific for many projects.
-
Innovation
Our goal is to streamline the construction process and eliminate response lead times by handling shop drawings, RFIs and other construction related tasks electronically. This results in shorter project schedules and happier clients.
-
Training
One of the keys to our success is the ongoing personnel training for field and office personnel to ensure that we are in compliance with all current OSHA standards. Field personnel are required to participate in weekly tool box talks to discuss topics including, but not limited to: Fall Protection, Personal Protective Equipment, Proper Lifting Techniques, Tool Use & Maintenance.
All foremen and project managers are OSHA-30 certified and all laborers are OSHA-10 certified at a minimum.
MANAGEMENT
From our project managers to the field personnel, our experienced team will be with you every step of the way throughout the completion of your project.
-
Communication
Our project managers work very closely with field personnel to ensure materials are on site in a timely fashion, the correct manpower is being utilized for each task, the proper tools are on site, equipment and material approvals are submitted on time to allow the project schedule to run smoothly.
-
