Construction-Driven Engineering
At Lanzo, we always begin with the end in mind.
Constructibility is at the heart of all our engineers — because we know what we’re designing for you so it can be built.
With construction-driven engineering, we create solutions for our clients that seamlessly transition from blueprints to real, completed projects. Taking constructibility under consideration at every step ensures our clients have the high quality, cost-effective designs they expect. As part of a large construction and engineering firm, our engineers understand the crucial role that contractors have in the overall development and delivery of every project — from start to finish. It’s what separates Lanzo engineers and designers from the pack and provides our clients an advantage that better controls budget, quality and cost throughout a project’s lifecycle.

Less Risk, More Certainty
One of the biggest causes for change orders in the construction phase occurs when design plans don’t mesh with the realities that contractors encounter in the field. Construction-driven engineering is a proactive approach that leads to the simplest, most cost-effective solutions for even the most complex projects, reducing the risks of schedule delays and design-driven cost overruns that adversely affect delivery.
Our construction-driven engineering mindset helps position us as an engineer-procure-construct (EPC) and design-build partner of choice in any market.

Infrastructure Engineering Solutions
From roadways to bridges to rail, Lanzo’s construction-driven engineers create transportation infrastructure solutions that seamlessly transition from blueprints to completed projects. We understand the realities that contractors face in the field and deliver designs that reduce the risk of construction delays and cost overruns, while maximizing value for clients. It’s why Lanzo is the design-build partner of choice in the transportation infrastructure market.
Our Team
Our transportation infrastructure experts are a multi-disciplined engineering group and a hybrid of design and construction experts whose skills align with clients’ goals. Our structural, geotechnical, civil roadway, hydraulics, drainage and materials science experts are actively involved in hundreds of design-build transportation infrastructure projects across North America.
Our Services
Preliminary Design Services
We develop design concepts that meet infrastructure clients’ requirements and take constructibility into account throughout. These preliminary design concepts can be developed into detailed designs that result in successful projects — delivered on time and within budget.
Final Design Services
With our final design services, infrastructure clients face fewer risks, benefiting from engineers who have the expertise to deliver design solutions that make construction safer and more expeditious, reduce disruptions to the public and minimize maintenance and life cycle costs.
Construction Engineering Services
We develop, analyze and design cost-effective temporary works that enable project to be built more safely and efficiently. Lanzo designs and builds temporary works such as cofferdams, excavation support systems and crane lifts, which are crucial to quality project design, cost control and construction excellence.
Design Optimization
We develop design solutions that meet contract requirements while efficiently optimizing construction schedule and cost value for clients. We accomplish this by bringing clients an integrated, unified design and construction partner to brainstorm solutions, identify and develop technical concepts and analyze impacts to cost and schedule. All of this empowers clients to choose the best solution for their projects
Design-Build Management
Clients are turning to Lanzo during all stages of design-build projects to manage their multi-disciplined design teams to improve schedule, control costs and minimize risk. Our construction-driven engineers analyze root causes and resolve design issues before they impact schedule and budget. Particularly on large design-build projects, clients benefit from the proven processes and tools used by Lanzo to minimize project risk.
