The rhythmic pounding of heavy machinery merges with the loud chatter of project managers while blueprints transform into towering structures — this symphony of creation is Marshal LeMoine’s daily soundtrack. With over two decades of military service informing his approach to the construction industry, LeMoine has developed a comprehensive methodology that encompasses every step from raw land to finished project. 

Walking onto a Marshal LeMoine-managed construction site feels remarkably different from standard industry operations. The influence of his extensive military background permeates every aspect, creating an environment where accountability and structure reign supreme. “We take the core values and we adhere to those core values,” he notes with conviction. “The leadership structure, chain of command exists within the companies on top of that.”

Marshal LeMoine’s Game-Changing Advantage

This military-derived organizational framework establishes crystal-clear communication channels throughout LeMoine’s construction operations — a game-changing advantage when orchestrating the complicated, multistakeholder ecosystem of modern construction projects. The implementation of a defined chain of command dramatically reduces miscommunication and guarantees accountability across all project phases, from initial concept development through completion and handover.

LeMoine’s construction philosophy also incorporates another unexpected element from his military days: an unyielding commitment to physical fitness. “I really do think people function better at a manageable weight and with good physical aptitude and good physical fitness,” he shares. “My guys and I play soccer together, or basketball together, or they’re more than welcome to go workout with me on a daily basis.” 

His personal regimen demonstrates extraordinary discipline: “I get up by 4 a.m., and go to workout. I start my workday by 6:30 a.m., take a break at 10:30 a.m., then I go for a walk to collect my thoughts, and try to figure out how I’m going to attack the day mentally. I go for a walk or a run at 2:30 p.m. as well.”

The fit body, fit mind ethos is a pillar of his company. “I encourage that with my project managers and superintendents because I think it leads to better mental health,” he explains. 

Commanding the Entire Construction Value Chain

The construction marketplace teems with specialized contractors who excel in narrow slices of the development process, yet Marshal LeMoine takes an entirely different viewpoint, mastering the complete spectrum of construction activities. 

“Typically, on the home building side, I do land acquisition all the way through project completion, but we also do land development, too,” he explains. This comprehensive strategy enables his operations to generate value at multiple points throughout the construction life cycle while maintaining rigorous quality standards from beginning to end.

Beyond standard construction, LeMoine provides an expanded range of building solutions. “We do contracting, consulting, construction management. We do safety, environmental compliance, we do health [-related checks] as well,” he notes.

“I really would like to get involved in more manufacturing processes and manufacturing construction because we do a lot of it,” he explains with enthusiasm. 

Intelligence-Driven Cost-Control Systems

Construction professionals scramble daily to manage wildly fluctuating material costs and labor expenses, yet Marshal LeMoine has engineered sophisticated tracking systems that give him exceptional market foresight. “Materials have fluctuated 46.39% in the past year and a half and I track it weekly by myself,” he discloses.

This intelligence gathering operates through active relationship cultivation throughout the supply chain. “I’ve got two or three contacts at the different large material suppliers,” he says.

LeMoine extends his market monitoring beyond materials into workforce expenses. He tracks labor trends regionally and nationally, providing comprehensive visibility into one of construction’s most significant cost categories. This intelligence enables his team to optimize crew scheduling and workforce budgeting across multiple simultaneous projects.

Technology integration plays an increasingly crucial role in LeMoine’s market intelligence apparatus. “We’re looking into assistance from AI,” he acknowledges. However, he maintains that human judgment remains essential.

This balance between cutting-edge technological tools and human expertise extends throughout LeMoine’s construction methodology, particularly in estimation and quantity takeoffs — the detailed quantification of project materials. He says that “takeoffs on specific projects, custom home builds, and being able to track material costs” represent areas where technology delivers substantial efficiency gains while still requiring experienced human oversight.

The Ultimate Construction Blueprint

Marshal LeMoine’s construction approach — comprehensive, disciplined, and intelligence-driven — offers powerful lessons for industry professionals tackling today’s complex building environment. His integration of military principles into construction management, complete lifecycle visibility, sophisticated market intelligence systems, and strategic future positioning demonstrates a holistic methodology that delivers exceptional results.

And while technological disruption and market volatility continue reshaping construction fundamentals, leaders maintaining this comprehensive perspective — from initial concept through completion — will deliver superior value and successfully overcome tomorrow’s building environment challenges.
