LEMA Construction Building Green, Solar, Sustainable Environments.

Green, Solar & Sustainable Buildings

High Performance. Sustainable. Green. For LEMA, each of these concepts goes hand-in-hand with being a better builder-taking care of every community we serve. Setting new standards for green building construction. Promoting buildings that are environmentally responsible places to do business. And, operating our own company in the same way.

As a green construction company LEMA strives to meet community and national standards in high performance building. Creating innovative structures that cleaned form with functions, in harmony with the environment. Through leadership in the greater green movement, including with the United States Green Building Council (USGBC), LEMA employees are active participants in the green dialogue. We believe the choices we make are not just for today..not just for us, or our clients. The choices we make will leave a legacy for those who will follow us and create new footprints on this earth. Our advanced green building construction systems and services do just that.

Our Commitment

It was a pleasure working with LEMA Construction on the Plantation Club House in Tampa, FL. LEMA communicated with our office and the Owner on a weekly basis to provide updates. Their personal attention and commitment to the project’s value and quality kept the Owner, Architect and Subcontractors running professionally and efficiently. I would recommend LEMA for future projects and welcome their participation to serve our clients here at Aude Smith.

It is my pleasure to recommend LEMA Construction to anyone undertaking any construction projects. St. Petersburg College worked with LEMA Construction on the Douglas L. Jamerson, Jr. Midtown Center, an exemplary 52,000 sf, three-story education and community center. As with any project, communication is key and the LEMA team provided consistent updates and were fully committed to delivering the project on schedule and on budget. I recommend LEMA without reservation and look forward to working with them on future projects.

I have worked with LEMA Construction on two projects at Johns Hopkins All Children’s Hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida. The Physician’s Office Building project was the complete renovation of a 4-story, 65,000 sf medical office building. LEMA worked very well with staff and patients to safely maintain adjacent occupied spaces with as little impact as possible. They kept a constant line of communication open with everyone involved, and had competent superintendents on site to oversee the work. LEMA Construction did a great job on both projects!
