Core offering

Landwehr Construction is a fifth-generation, family-owned heavy construction services company founded in 1895 that delivers crane and rigging, demolition, environmental remediation, highway heavy construction, machinery moving, renewable energy (wind and solar), sitework and utilities, and wetland specialty services. The company leverages a fleet of over 30 cranes (up to 450-ton capacity) and a large workforce of NCCCO-certified operators to serve government, commercial, industrial, and renewable energy customers across the Upper Midwest.

Product overview

Landwehr Construction is a fifth-generation, family-owned construction company founded in 1895, offering a comprehensive portfolio of construction services rather than a single software product. The company's core offering centers on crane and rigging services (with fleet of 30+ cranes up to 450-ton capacity), complemented by demolition, environmental remediation, highway heavy construction, machinery moving, renewable energy (wind and solar), wetland specialty, and sitework/utility services. The product portfolio operates as a unified service offering where specialized divisions work together on complex projects—for example, crane services support wind turbine installation, demolition feeds into sitework, and renewable civil construction encompasses site preparation for solar and wind projects. The June 2024 acquisition of Jerke Construction expanded the company's crane and rigging footprint to three Midwest locations. Services are delivered using proprietary equipment including GPS-enabled machinery, wireless torque monitoring systems, and specialized rigging, with capabilities ranging from delicate machinery moves to massive wind turbine installations.
