FOUNDED BY LEWIS L. “Hoss” Lemoine in 1935 as The Cottonport Lumber Company, The Lemoine Company was born from small town roots, humility and determination. In 1973, the company launched a commercial construction division under the leadership and vision of Tim Lemoine. Tim and his brother, Lenny Lemoine, grew the family business, relocating its headquarters to Lafayette in 1983. Full-service offices were opened in Baton Rouge in 2006 and New Orleans in 2012.
The Lemoine Company is built on a foundation of trust. Our reputation has allowed for an astonishing 85% repeat customer base. What values or principles guide your business? We believe that people are our great-
est asset, and that the work ethic, attention to detail and integrity of our team members help us achieve our purpose: to deliver excellence in construction while enhancing the lives of all involved. In addition, our No. 1 core value is Safety. We are committed to providing a positive and safe work environment for every person every day. What’s the best marketing advice that someone has offered you? Don’t try to create a brand that you can’t deliver. You are what your customers say about you.
What services do you provide? Preconstruction, general contracting, commercial building, municipal, construction management, design-build and disaster recovery.
What is the biggest lesson you have learned in business? Once you have the right people, it’s 10% strategy and 90% execution.
To what do you attribute your success? Great employees and customers, hard work, strong values and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
How has your business or industry changed over the years? The skilled workforce has diminished drastically, while expectations have
increased. Project leaders have to be more proactive with quality control than ever before. What are you most excited about for your business in the future? We have a great team of young, talented leaders who are aligned around a common purpose: to exceed customer expectations and deliver excellence. With a focus on corporate growth, geographic expansion and operational improvement, Lemoine is constantly evaluating new opportunities that will grow the firm’s revenues, while maintaining the same relationship-focused methodology it was built on.
