In 1963, (Alden) Gene Lake founded Union Fab & Machine Co. After the immediate success of Union Fab, Gene recognized the local needs for a structural steel construction company. So in 1965, Gene founded A.V. Lake Steel Company. It wasn’t long before A.V. Lake Steel became a success as well. Over the years, both companies realized major growth working independently of each other. However, for business purposes, they were eventually merged into one which became known as AV Lake Construction Company. With success comes growth and transition, so after a few moves around Sandusky Ohio over the many years, the company now permanently resides in the Lake Industrial Complex located at 3427 Venice Rd, Sandusky Ohio 44870.
It’s more like…..,“what can’t we do?”
We have grown to be a leader in design and construction of pre-engineered buildings. We are a franchised dealer for Butler Manufacturing Company, the world’s largest producers of pre-engineered metal building systems. Our growth has also come from our heritage of forming as a custom engineered and fabricated general building contractor. We design, engineer, and construct from start to finish. How do we tackle all of this? Our 10,000 sq. ft fabrication shop gives us the ability to tackle the more creative and challenging projects that other companies can’t handle. Our crew has tackled a plethora of jobs from storage buildings, office spaces and haunted houses, to water parks, billboards, pedestrian bridges & boat condos.
