LA CRESCENTA, Calif. — May 21, 2025 — After more than ten years of shaping Southern California’s built environment, LCA Construction Corporation is reflecting on its journey and growth from a one-person engineering firm into a full-service construction and consulting company committed to community-focused development.

Founded in 2014 by licensed civil engineer Feehan, LCA Construction Corporation has established itself as a boutique engineering-led construction management firm that prioritizes structure, function, and thoughtful living. Based in La Crescenta, the company specializes in small-scale, high-integrity projects ranging from accessory dwelling units (ADUs) to seismic retrofits and custom single-family homes.

What sets LCA Construction apart is its end-to-end project delivery model, made possible through its close collaboration with affiliate firm Fiver Management Corporation. The two entities together offer a full spectrum of services — from property acquisition and engineering to project design and final construction — all with an emphasis on practical, sustainable design tailored for California communities.

LCA’s work is underpinned by the belief that construction should be smart, accessible, and people-centered. The team places equal importance on aesthetics, efficiency, and structural resilience. “We’re not trying to create something groundbreaking,” Feehan states. “But we’re doing everything carefully and intentionally, which is obvious from how the layout flows, how we selected the materials, and how we waterproof the exterior. Our attention to detail makes the final product something we’re proud of.”

An Integrated Model for Higher Quality Construction

By integrating engineering, design, and construction management under one roof, LCA eliminates the common gaps and inefficiencies that occur when multiple firms handle different phases of a project. This seamless approach allows for tighter control over timelines, costs, and outcomes. It also enables better communication with clients and stakeholders, who benefit from a more transparent and accountable process.

“Too often, small projects are treated as afterthoughts in the industry,” said Feehan. “But we’ve found a niche in delivering small-scale projects with large-scale quality. Our goal is to make every detail count — whether it’s a foundation detail or the way light enters a room.”

Community-Driven Focus and Mission-Led Design

LCA’s portfolio is marked by projects that respond to local housing and resilience needs. For example, the firm actively participates in California's seismic retrofit programs, helping homeowners protect their properties through state grant-funded upgrades. Additionally, LCA frequently builds ADUs to increase density and offer more housing options in established neighborhoods without drastically altering their character.

One of LCA’s recent undertakings — a speculative single-family home in Los Angeles County — demonstrates this mission in action. The team purchased a raw lot, developed the design internally, and is now midway through construction. The home features a compact yet open layout with vaulted ceilings, ample storage, and space-optimized amenities such as a walk-in pantry and a streamlined laundry area.

Looking Ahead: Growth Rooted in Purpose

As LCA Construction enters its second decade, the company remains focused on deepening its impact in underserved corners of Southern California’s housing market. Rather than pursuing high-profile commercial or luxury projects, the firm continues to invest in neighborhoods where smart development can make the most difference.

“Small projects, when done right, can transform the way people live,” said Feehan. “That’s the type of construction we want to be known for.”

With a growing team, a robust pipeline of residential work, and a clear design-build philosophy, LCA Construction Corporation is poised to continue building smarter, more resilient communities — one project at a time.
