Our founder
Don Duane
A tribute to our founder, to remember who we are and where we came from.
Don studied civil engineering at the University of Louisville's Speed Scientific School, then traded engineering for building and founded Duane & Company General Contractors. Over the next two decades the firm built Lantech, Hellringers, the Xerox Building, the Ten Thousand Building and a number of office buildings on Linn Station Road. He went on to develop warehouses and residential communities, and was one of Louisville's first Certified Property Manager designees.
Builder, owner, manager: the way Don did it is still the way we work.
