Premier General Contractor in NC

Building Trust & Excellence Since 1996 | Healthcare, Commercial, & Education Specialists

Building a Legacy of Quality

Founded in 1996, Lomax Construction began with a singular vision: to bring a higher standard of integrity to the NC construction market. Leaving a position at a respected general contractor, John Lomax built a foundation that prioritized unique, complex projects over volume.

We grew steadily, earning a reputation for quality and the ability to deliver challenging builds that others might shy away from. Our clients know that our hands-on approach and absolute level of focus ensure success on their projects every time. At Lomax, big company capability truly meets small company attention.

Construction Delivery Methods

We tailor our services to the specific needs of each client, offering flexible delivery methods designed to maximize value and efficiency.

Negotiated General Contract

Offers benefits like early value engineering, detailed document review, and "open book" accounting. This aligns owner and contractor interests while maintaining competitive pricing at the subcontractor level.

Design-Build

Lomax serves as the single point of contact for both design and construction. We align with strategic design partners to provide a turn-key solution, perfect for owners looking for a "one-stop-shop" experience.

Construction Management (CMAR)

Similar to our negotiated approach, we act as both Construction Manager and General Contractor to eliminate duplicated fees. This method ensures rigorous oversight from pre-construction through closeout.

Lump Sum Bidding

Driven by our "hard bid edge," we remain competitive in the open market. While 75% of our work is negotiated today, we continue to welcome opportunities to bid for select clients who value service and schedule.

Leadership Team

We have an absolute minimum of management layers. Our ownership team stays close to all projects, ensuring that decisions can be made quickly in the field.

Where We Work

Our headquarters is in Colfax, NC, right in the heart of the Triad. We focus on projects we can reach quickly to ensure hands-on management.

Primary Markets:

Safety & Community

Safety First

The safety of our clients' personnel and those adjacent to our sites always comes first. We "own" the safety responsibility for every project, consistently achieving statistics better than the industry norm. We meet or exceed OSHA requirements and are proud of our N.C. Department of Labor Safety Achievements.

Corporate Citizenship & Charity

We believe charity should be its own reward. We support numerous non-profits and community organizations, often anonymously. For us, the best service we can provide is delivering a quality building that stands the test of time for the lowest overall cost.

MBE / WBE Outreach

Lomax has always adhered to a strict non-discrimination policy. We utilize minority and women-owned business enterprises (MBE/WBE) on our projects to find the best value, regardless of race or gender. We have an excellent track record of meeting contracting percentage targets in a fair and straightforward manner.
