Lydig Construction

What Lydig Construction does

Lydig Construction is a private, Washington State-based commercial general contractor founded in 1956, headquartered in Spokane Valley with regional offices in Bellevue and Kennewick. The firm delivers full-service construction — preconstruction through post-construction — across K-12 and higher education, civic and government, healthcare and pharmaceutical, industrial and advanced manufacturing, commercial and retail, and hospitality sectors. Project values range from mid-single-digit millions to over $234M, with marquee clients including Costco Wholesale (60+ projects over 30+ years), Seattle Public Schools, Spokane Public Schools, GSA, King County, Gonzaga University, Jubilant HollisterStier, and the Kalispel Tribe.

The company's underlying technology stack is anchored by its Virtual Design & Construction (VDC) platform, combining laser scanning, reality capture, Building Information Modeling (BIM), clash detection, 4D construction sequencing, and robotic layout to model, coordinate, and validate every project component before field installation. Service delivery spans Design-Bid-Build, GC/CM, and Progressive Design-Build arrangements, with LEED expertise dating to 2004 across Platinum, Gold, and Silver certifications. The firm self-performs general contracting and project management while subcontracting 75-85% of trade work.

Lydig generates revenue through fixed-price contracts, cost-plus contracts, and construction management fees tied to multi-year project milestones and percentage-of-completion recognition. Go-to-market is enterprise-field-sales: competitive bidding for public-sector work, supplemented by negotiated and design-build engagements secured via long-standing relationships in the Pacific Northwest and select Western US and Canadian markets. Approximately 101-250 employees support operations across Washington, Idaho, Oregon, Montana, Utah, Nevada, and Canada.
