Company History

Since Raymond F. LeChase founded LeChase Construction in 1944, the LeChase name has been synonymous with building construction.

In 1981, Raymond “Wayne” LeChase succeeded his father as President and Chief Executive Officer. This change in leadership renewed motivation company-wide, provided a fresh management style and attracted extremely qualified construction people.

Capitalizing on this wealth of new talent, LeChase opened up management of the company to a team of partners in the late 1990’s, and in 2002, appointed William H. Goodrich as President and Chief Operating Officer. Bill’s passion for excellence is keenly focused on maintaining the company’s core philosophies.

In 2007, Wayne became Chairman and Managing Partner, and appointed Bill as President and Chief Executive Officer.
