The Construction Source

OCTOBER 2020 When LIDA Homes began, the company focused primarily on renovations and additions. Lat- er in the life of the business, founder and President Dave Stephens and his team decid- ed to expand their horizons, and they started building their reputation as a custom home builder. In recent years, Dave and his team decided to branch out again, and LIDA Homes has since become known for their own multi-family development work. Even more recently, in response to the pandemic, the company created a maintenance division for small jobs and landscaping work. They found that people quarantining at home were tak- ing the opportunity to get some of those small jobs done when they could, and that influx of work has kept LIDA Homes busy and kept their whole team em- ployed. Moving forward, LIDA Homes will continue to grow those two newer divisions. On the devel- opment side, they have several developments in the pipeline which will include in excess of 70 units. They are also looking at doing some work in the mixed- use and commercial realm. “The important thing is, we’re not slowing down,” Lawrie says. “We’re getting a lot of phone calls for renovations and cus- tom homes, our development side is really growing, and we’re waiting on approval to start building our new office. The fu- ture is looking bright.” Not slowing down
