The Great Lakes Construction Co., with offices in Cincinnati and Hinckley, Ohio has been a successful heavy/highway general contractor since 1948, completing hundreds of projects.  Great Lakes' success and reputation has evolved from our focus on major heavy civil construction projects including excavation, demolition, piling, earthwork, utilities, energy, concrete foundations, structural concrete, concrete paving, environmental remediation, and general site work.  

Our employee-owned team, which is comprised heavily of Engineers and Construction graduates including 19 Professional Engineers, oversees a field operations workforce of over 500 Union craftspeople. 

Our dedication to safety has allowed Great Lakes to be self-insured for workers compensation in the State of Ohio since 1976. Our six full-time Safety Compliance Officers report directly to the President of Great Lakes. This ensures that all projects are being run in a safe manner.

The Great Lakes Way … Safe. Capable. Efficient.
