Preconstruction Services: Smarter Designs, Lower Costs, Faster Builds

LNI Custom Manufacturing recommends to its clients that LNI becomes involved earlier in projects—specifically during the planning phase rather than solely at the bidding stage—in order to contribute insights that draw on its builder’s perspective and practical expertise in materials and manufacturing processes.

As a designer-builder-fabricator, LNI Custom Manufacturing understands how designs translate into actual construction, encompassing considerations such as material availability, fabrication methods, sequencing, and job site preparation. This comprehensive knowledge enables LNI Custom Manufacturing to provide valuable input that architects and engineers may not possess.
