LEADING THE INDUSTRY IN COMMITMENT TO FAMILY

Lund Construction Co . has a rich

history as a family business and is one of the construction industry ’ s regional leaders . George and Alta Lund launched the company in 1958 with small grading jobs , a motor grader and tractor , growing the business until the 1980s when their son Jerry Lund took over . Today , 62 years later , Jerry as president and his son Kevin Lund as vice president oversee all company performance and growth initiatives .
“ We really value our family connections in this company — my grandfather George would come to job sites after he retired , and we still consider my grandmother Alta , now 94 , part of the company ,” says Kevin .
Lund Construction ’ s services include grading , wet utilities ( water , sewer and storm drain ) and dry utilities ( electrical , gas , telephone and television ). “ We offer the whole spectrum , both underground and above-ground work , whereas most companies offer only one or the other . We ’ re one of the few contractors in town who can say that ,” says Kevin .
The company ’ s projects span Northern California , but the importance of family guides the company in its growth . “ Most of our work is within 100 miles of Sacramento because we want our employees to be able to go home every night to their families ,” Jerry says . “ When we started , most clients and competitors were individually owned companies . Now , they ’ re West Coast or national companies , so it becomes a bigger task to keep the family atmosphere in that type of company structure . We want our employees to be as involved with their families as they are with this company .”
Looking to the future , Lund Construction continues to diversify , adding key industry experienced leaders and more publicworks jobs and commercial projects to its residential-sector work . “ That will help us weather economic downturns as well as provide the satisfaction of helping revitalize the region ’ s infrastructure ,” says Kevin . “ We ’ re well-positioned to take on any job .”
“ We want our employees to be as involved with their families as they are with this company .”
