Lund Construction

What Lund Construction does

Lund Construction Co. is a Sacramento, California-based general engineering contractor founded in 1958 and operating under third-generation family ownership (George Lund → Jerry Lund → Kevin Lund). The firm delivers pre-construction planning, earthwork, wet utilities, dry utilities/joint trench, surface improvements, and emergency repair services with self-performed crews and a company-owned heavy equipment fleet spanning Caterpillar, Case, and John Deere scrapers, bulldozers, motor graders, excavators, rock saws, and service trucks maintained by factory-trained technicians at a North Highlands repair facility. Technology stack includes Procore, Drone Mapping, BIM, and Lean/Agile practices, with internal references to 'ConTech & AI Integration' and 'Infrastructure & Data Systems' functions.

The company serves four primary customer segments: private residential and commercial developers (Taylor Morrison, KB Homes, Elliott Homes, Lennar, D.R. Horton, Cal-Atlantic, Beazer, Anthem United, Brookfield Properties), public utilities (SMUD under 5 consecutive contracts totaling $190.8M, PG&E, AT&T under 21-year approved-contractor status), county, state, and federal government agencies (Placer County Water Agency, City of West Sacramento, Butte County, Department of Water Resources, Department of the Interior for Yosemite National Park work), and general contractors (Whiting-Turner, Syblon Reid, AMA Diversified). Service geography covers Northern California, Central Valley, and Bay Area counties. Single disclosed projects range from $166K to $13.8M (Gum Ranch subdivision with Elliott Homes), with demonstrated capability on 1,000,000+ cubic yard excavations and emergency mobilization (Oroville Dam 2017, 24/7 operations for 8 weeks, zero accidents).

The business model is project-based competitive bidding — public works via formal government bid process, private developer work via special invitation, and emergency mobilization via on-call relationships. Revenue has doubled since 2015 under President Kevin Lund's leadership, supported by multi-decade anchor customer relationships (30+ years with Elliott Homes, 23+ years with SMUD/AT&T, decades with Taylor Morrison and PG&E), an extensive regulatory certification stack (California General Engineering Class A License #342677, DIR# 1000005212, Gold Shovel Standard, OSHA 10/30/40, HAZWOPER, AT&T/PG&E/SMUD/Roseville Electric approved contractor), and demonstrated safety record (zero accidents on multi-year and emergency projects). The firm has remained privately held with no external institutional capital and explicitly intends to remain a family-operated corporation.

Contract sizes range from hundreds of thousands to $10M+; SMUD contract series totals $190.8M across 5 contracts. Kevin Lund has 'doubled revenue since 2015.'
2. Pre-Construction & Professional Services: Pre-construction services including constructability reviews, scope/budget development, schedule development, and value engineering. Emergency response and disaster response services (e.g., Oroville Dam, NID bypass).
3. Project Management & Construction Management Services: Revenue from full-scope project management including self-performed field operations, heavy civil scope, value engineering during design stage, and ongoing maintenance/rehabilitation services.
