Much of the business for Lindler’s Construction comes from low-bid contracts, so staying profitable requires operating with high efficiency and productivity.
“Of the projects we do, we’ve got to be the low bid,” Oneal Lindler says. “And in order to be low bid, you’ve got to get out here and figure out how to get it done quicker than the competition and more efficient.”
In the video above, co-owners Heather and Oneal Lindler tell how they’ve achieved success in low-bid contracting after 20 years in business.
Based in Newberry, South Carolina, Lindler’s has 50 employees and performs road construction, site prep, storm drainage and demolition. They have worked on major interstate projects, as well as for county and municipal governments in their area. They also perform emergency work for the South Carolina Department of Transportation.
Both Heather and Oneal work long hours and are dedicated to growing the business. And they wouldn’t have it any other way.
“When it’s all said and done, you get two days off at the end of the week,” says Oneal, “and hell, you’re itching to get back at it Monday.”
They also strive for efficiency, with 2024 being their most profitable year yet – without adding new employees.
For that reason and more Lindler’s Construction was a finalist for Equipment World’s 2024 Contractor of the Year.
