Construction Management
L&M has successfully provided Construction Management Services to public school districts throughout Southern California since 1997. These services encompass the project/program development (including planning) through post-construction. The specific needs of each project and/or program will determine the services provided. L&M is not only a Construction Manager but a licensed General Contractor as well. This unique combination of qualifications and experience adds a valued benefit to our Clients.
As the Construction Manager, L&M provides leadership as a participating member of the construction team. L&M will work together with the Client and Architect offering unbiased expertise and advice in construction means, methods, coordination, and scheduling. Serving as the “nuts and bolts” detail member of the construction team, L&M fills the role of respected construction intermediary; a responsibility we take seriously. This vital role helps ensure the project(s) remains on-schedule, on-budget, and without litigation as we work through the day-to-day issues between the Prime Contractor(s), the Architect, and the Client.
Our vast experience with multiple-prime trade contracting has saved our Clients virtually millions of dollars by providing them maximum project control to produce a superior finished product. Throughout our company’s history, 100% of our projects have opened on-time and on budget. We have never failed to open a school on time.

Program Management
Program management is a partnership with our Clients that cultivates effective, cost-efficient and innovative project delivery. Acting as an extension of our Client’s staff, L&M protects the Client’s interests in all areas of the construction program process from planning and design, through the bidding phase and construction, and throughout the warranty period. Ultimately, our company has developed and implemented our Client’s Facilities Master Plans and programs and has successfully managed multiple projects in a phased time frame. Program management is frequently used with bond measures to ensure cost control and comprehensive project scheduling.
DELIVERY METHODS
Project Management
As a full-service Project Manager, L&M serves as the Client’s representative and provides overall management from the initial plan development through post construction and warranty periods. In this role, we assist in defining the project, budgeting, scheduling, constructability reviews, and a variety of custom services. All services are tailored to meet the specific needs and goals of each project for our client while managing the contracts of the design and construction team members.
General Obligation Bonds
The passage of a successful general obligation bond for a School District is dependent on preparation, planning, and effective communication. Our team at L&M will assist our Clients in the development of a comprehensive facilities master plan by engaging with the stakeholders in an interactive process of prioritizing their needs and collaboratively working together to support the District Administration and Governing Board. In addition to the initial process, members of our team have participated as members of several Bond Committees, in fundraising activities, distributing literature, and other communications. We have worked tirelessly helping with phone banking and other activities to support our Clients.
