We draw upon our history and experience as we continue to embrace positive change in the construction industry. Starting in the late 1980s, we began to perform CM at Risk projects. Moving with industry developments, we compete for an increasing number of construction management contracts each year. CM-at-Risk projects now encompass approximately 80% of our workload. Through these experiences, we have developed a reputation as a proactive Construction Manager who thinks ahead.

We have also embraced the industry-wide changes manifested in the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Certification process. As the US Green Building Council’s LEED program grew in prominence, Lewis Contractors constructed more and more projects featuring green building elements, such as recycled materials, geothermal wells, green roofs, and the like. Today, we construct an increasing number of projects seeking some level of LEED certification. Highlights include the Brody Learning Commons at Johns Hopkins University (in preconstruction and seeking LEED Silver Certification), the restoration of the Everyman Theater in downtown Baltimore (in preconstruction and seeking LEED Silver Certification), the Friends School Cafeteria Expansion (complete, LEED Silver Certification pending), and the Friends School New Middle School and Upper School Math/Science Addition (a LEED “certifiable” project). We have four LEED APs on staff, with additional employees training for accreditation.

Lewis Contractors has been affiliated with Richard D. Poole, LLC, a York, Pennsylvania based design/build firm, since 1999. In 2003, both Poole and Lewis became affiliated with Stewart & Tate, Inc., a York, Pennsylvania-based construction organization. Poole and Lewis became wholly owned subsidiaries of Stewart & Tate, Inc., in 2008. This relationship enhances Lewis’s depth of management, office support, and service offerings—particularly in sitework-related preconstruction services, including value-engineering and constructability reviews.

Backing Lewis’ management is a staff of over 70—estimators, project managers, superintendents, carpenters and laborers—with a company-wide average tenure of 15 years. Such low employee turnover is due in large part to our training programs and interesting mix of work assignments, as well as Lewis’s safety program, health insurance, 401K and vacation benefits. Satisfied employees help attract quality subcontractors and material vendors. We enjoy our work—our clients benefit.
