Turner Construction, on the Great Wolf Lodge in Ohio
We at Turner Construction completed a 79,000 sq. ft., 96 ft. high indoor water park structure for Great Wolf in Mason, Ohio. We hired Lonsdale Construction to erect the structure, composed of Tenemec painted steel, Glulam trusses, and T&G decking. Lonsdale excelled in scheduling and coordinating with suppliers and subcontractors, and their OSHA certified personnel and engineered bracing plan gave us definite reassurance. We would be thrilled to work with Lonsdale again.

APA Article Excerpt on our Work at Austin Events Center in Texas
"Because the local construction firms were not familiar with the style of wood roof assembly specified in the design, an erection crew from Lonsdale Construction Company in Minnesota traveled to Austin to work with MW Builders on the critical phases of the truss assembly and erection. 'Even though the roof was very design intensive with a lot of trusses and unique angles, the decking went up quickly and simply', said Greg Herriott, MW Builders. The erection crew [Lonsdale] brought in a truck crane, scissor lifts, and boom forklifts. 'We're used to seeing much heavier equipment with steel construction', Herriott added. Because of the building's elaborate wave design and asymmetrical configuration, the crew worked with very narrow tolerances when attaching trusses to the columns. The elevation had to be within 1/2 inch at the top of the column. The trusses were connected to a matrix of columns, with a base plate, or shoe, at the top of each column. 'It went together amazingly well', said Lauren Goldberg, project architect with Barnes Gromatzky Kosarek Architects. 'We have gotten tremendous feedback on the structure'."

JP Cullen, Epic Campus Projects
The Epic Systems Campus in greater Madison, WI, is one of the largest construction projects in our history. We are in our 5th year as General Contractor on this project. Quality sub-contractors are a necessity. We hired Lonsdale Construction for a 9 month duration for erecting roof structures on that project. They had quality equipment and helped maintain our schedules.
