SERVICES
Design-Build
Consolidating design and build services with Lepori helps ensure a more efficient project timeline, cost-efficiency, and quality control. Under design-build methods, designer and builder collaborate throughout the project cycle, addressing concerns as they come up and adhering to budget parameters throughout the process.
CMAR
With Construction Manager at Risk — or CMAR — Lepori agrees to deliver the project within a Guaranteed Maximum Price (GMP) based on construction documents and specifications, plus any reasonably inferred items or tasks. The owner’s risk is limited by the CMAR process.
Layout Assist
Based on our years of experience and expertise, Lepori can provide guidance on how to layout a space to maximize function and flow in a whole host of work and living spaces.
Design-Assist
We’re team players — with our team and yours. If you’re working with an architect or engineer on your project, Lepori can offer design assistance to facilitate the build process, improve timelines, and reduce cost. With design-assist, concerns about plans are addressed early on in the design process rather than at bid time.
Permit Assistance
With Lepori’s expertise and knowledge of local building departments, we can help navigate the coding and permitting process to keep your project moving forward efficiently.
self Perform/In-House Trades
Lepori has skilled in-house tradespeople and equipment to handle key construction activities, ensuring quality control and keeping your project moving forward efficiently and cost-effectively. Self-performing activities include: earthwork, work performed by Lepori building crews, custom cabinetry and casework, and pre-engineered metal buildings.
Occupied Site
With additions and remodels, many businesses choose to, or must, remain open during construction. Lepori has extensive experience navigating sensitive spaces like healthcare facilities and casinos during construction projects without disrupting customers and employees.

“On all University projects, it is advantageous to have an experienced general contractor on the team who can provide feedback on a project with sensible and constructible ideas, value engineering, a firm knowledge for cost impacts created by changes to design and a team player mentality that allows projects to progress in a win-win manner throughout construction. The Lepori Construction team exhibited these qualities.”
—Marcella Yeates, Facilities Services, UNR

“The St. Albert’s School job had a very tight timeline and many complexities. They calmly took us from pre-construction through the final inspection, performed brilliantly, and brought the job in under budget and on time. I consider Frank Lepori Construction as one of the few truly elite contractors in the entire region and know that when I hire them I will always get the results I’m looking for.”
—Mike Quilici, Diocese of Reno Chief Development Officer
“It’s always challenging to maintain healthcare as usual when you have a large team of craftsmen working next door, but the team led by Frank Lepori Construction took very much to heart the caution required to work in proximity to some of our smallest and sickest patients. They were accommodating and caring every step of the way. Our facilities staff and our Children’s Hospital team appreciated their communication, attention to cleanliness and craftsmanship. We had zero complaints from staff during construction.”
—Kristen Cleveland-Ceballos, RN, BSN, CPN, Manager of Children’s Inpatient Services and Infusion Services
“Frank Lepori Construction, Inc. was very responsive to questions, concerns, and requests. We were a little apprehensive at first to go with a local GC, since we didn’t have any experience with them, but were very happy we did. The Credit Union saved a considerable amount by doing so, and we were extremely satisfied with their performance.”
—Nathan Shepherd, AC, PMP, Construction Project Manager
“Being able to collaborate with Kevin Good in the Lepori Cabinet Shop made our design process go quicker. He used his millwork design expertise to adapt to our needs and evolving state legal requirements to develop solutions that function well. His proposal to use roll-up cabinetry that we lock at night meant we didn’t have to move product to a safe every night, saving Washoe Wellness $15,000 a month. This is now a new industry standard. Kevin also used his creativity with wood and finishes to enhance our design concept.”
—Mark Pitchford, Manager, Washoe Wellness
“The detail Frank Lepori put into making our building a great facility represents a job well done, and will carry Bristlecone far into the future.”

“To deliver the Burlington building in 150 working days is pretty impressive. Lepori Construction orchestrated as many as 80 crafts people on site at one time, including their site and building crews, as well as 18 subcontractors. It was a pleasure to see how smoothly they brought it all together.”
—Dustin Cleveland, Red Development Project Manager
“At Peg’s, we have a very specific workflow to support our business. Our Lemmon Valley location was especially challenging because it had a very different layout than we had ever used previously. Lepori Construction is a great partner to work with. Their team was able to accommodate all our numerous requests, and even present the pros and cons of each option, so that we could make the best design choice. In particular, I was quite impressed with the work that the designer, Dominic Gonzales, did on the plan to support us the entire way to maximize every corner of our space and nail down the entire plan to the exact inch.”
—Fred Lee, Owner
