Despite being a century-old proven system, masonry’s value often goes unnoticed. Leidal & Hart is changing this perception by demonstrating the versatility and sophistication of masonry.
From commercial buildings and educational institutions to healthcare facilities and residential complexes, its versatile masonry skills have helped shape skylines and create functional spaces. It is also involved in various concrete and historical preservation projects like the Michigan Central Station.
Leidal & Hart understands the need for novel approaches to estimating and strategizing construction projects that have witnessed a surge in costs by up to 30 percent.
It works closely with architects and construction managers to apply a design assist format that combines design and technical expertise to ensure projects are strategized and executed to perfection. Preserving design integrity remains a priority, even when working within tight budgets and demanding schedules.
At Leidal & Hart, safety comes first. A safe working environment is ensured through comprehensive training. Its team of half a dozen safety personnel is supervised by a designated onsite safety director who assigns defined safety responsibilities and implements project-specific procedures.
“Our focus is on easing the burden of managing a project for general contractors. We handle multiple trade packages relating to the envelope of a building, reducing the number of subcontractors required by a general contractor,” says Matt Harman, chief financial officer at Leidal & Hart.
