You bring the ideas and we complete the design.
At Lundy Construction Co Inc, we are specialists in design and build construction and have been Butler Builders since 1958. This brings you, the client, the advantages of “systems construction,” earlier occupancy, and substantial cost savings. That’s why we’re the building contractor Lycomin, Clinton, and the surrounding counties choose for their designing and building services.
Lundy Construction Co. offers single-source responsibility for the entirety of your project. This includes our trained, experienced staff providing you with a consultation covering everything from site selection to structural system selection to cladding selections, all the way to site work and landscaping. Our project management staff is comprised of seasoned veterans, all of whom have substantial field experience, and are routinely trained on the software and building systems used to ensure that they understand exactly what is required to deliver your building when and how you want it.
There’s a Butler® structural system for every need. Through consultation and collaboration with our staff, you’ll be able to decide what best fits your needs.

How Does Design-Build Simplify a Construction Project?
Traditional construction can require owners to coordinate separately with designers, contractors, and other project participants. Our design-build approach creates a more integrated process by providing single-source responsibility from the early planning stages through construction.
We begin by understanding the purpose of the building, operational requirements, budget considerations, and long-term goals. From there, our team can assist with decisions involving site selection, structural systems, exterior cladding, site work, landscaping, and other elements that influence the completed facility.
Having design and construction considerations addressed together can also help identify potential challenges earlier. Instead of waiting until construction begins to determine whether a design decision affects cost or constructability, our project management team can provide practical input throughout planning.
For commercial and industrial clients throughout Central Pennsylvania, this coordinated approach can create a clearer path from concept to occupancy. Our goal is to simplify communication, improve efficiency, and develop a building solution that supports both immediate requirements and future use.
What Should Be Considered Before Selecting a Building System?
Choosing a structural system is an important early decision because it can influence cost, construction time, interior flexibility, exterior appearance, and future expansion possibilities. The right choice depends on what the building needs to accomplish rather than simply which system has the lowest initial price.
We work with clients to understand anticipated building use, equipment requirements, interior clearances, workflow, storage needs, future growth, and site conditions. These factors help determine which structural approach makes sense for the project.
As a Butler Builder since 1958, we also provide access to Butler Manufacturing pre-engineered building systems. Systems construction can offer advantages for many commercial and industrial applications, including efficient project delivery and a variety of structural and architectural options.
Our role is to help clients compare available solutions in the context of the entire project. By making structural decisions early and coordinating them with design, site work, cladding, and other requirements, we can help establish a more practical foundation for the construction process.
Why Should Future Expansion Be Discussed During Initial Design?
A building that meets today’s requirements may eventually need to accommodate additional employees, equipment, storage, production capacity, or customer activity. Discussing those possibilities during design can help owners make more informed decisions before construction begins.
Future expansion does not necessarily mean constructing additional space immediately. Instead, it means considering how the building’s placement, structural system, site circulation, utilities, and surrounding property could affect potential changes later.
For commercial and industrial facilities, this can be particularly important. An addition that appears straightforward may become more complicated if the original building or site was not configured with future growth in mind.
During our design-build process, we work with clients to understand both current operations and longer-term objectives. Those conversations help us evaluate options that support today’s project without unnecessarily limiting tomorrow’s possibilities.
Planning ahead cannot predict every future requirement, but it can help owners avoid decisions that make expansion unnecessarily difficult. A well-planned building should support the organization using it now while providing flexibility when practical.
We Know What Our New Facility Needs to Accomplish, but We Don't Have a Design Yet. Where Do We Start?
Many construction projects begin with a business need rather than a completed set of plans. You may know that your organization needs more production space, storage, offices, specialized rooms, or improved workflow without knowing exactly how the finished building should be configured. Those operational requirements provide an important starting point for the design process.
Our design-build approach allows us to work with clients from the early planning stages through construction. We can discuss how the facility will be used, evaluate site and building considerations, and help determine which structural systems and construction approaches fit the project. Bringing design and construction considerations together early also allows budget, materials, site work, schedule, and constructability to be evaluated while the project is still taking shape. Rather than developing a design in isolation and addressing construction challenges afterward, we can help establish a practical path from initial concept through completion. This creates a more coordinated process with responsibility centered around the project’s overall goals.
Why Should Construction Costs Be Considered While a Building Is Still Being Designed?
A building design can meet an organization’s goals on paper while becoming difficult to construct within the available budget or schedule. Materials, structural systems, site conditions, building size, specialized features, and construction complexity all influence cost. When those considerations are addressed only after design is substantially complete, changes may be more difficult to incorporate.
Our design-build services bring construction knowledge into the planning process earlier. As the project develops, we can consider how design decisions relate to materials, structural systems, site work, construction requirements, scheduling, and overall project goals. This creates opportunities to evaluate alternatives while there is still flexibility to make adjustments. It also helps the project team establish priorities and understand where different choices may affect construction. Our role is not simply to begin building after plans are finished. We can collaborate from the initial stages to help develop a facility that addresses operational needs while keeping practical construction considerations part of the conversation from the beginning.
