Company Profile

L. A. Schaefer Construction is a privately held company founded in 1929. We specialize in institutional and municipal construction and have provided construction services for over 40 public owners: the cities of Ballwin, Clayton, Crestwood, Des Peres, Hazelwood, Sunset Hills, Town and Country; 28 area school districts; St. Louis Community College, the State of Missouri and St. Louis County. Additionally, we have built numerous churches and healthcare facilities.

We provide general contracting and construction management services to clients in eastern Missouri. Our offices are located in Chesterfield near the intersection of Highways 40 and 141. Each project has a satellite office to coordinate daily construction activities with the corporate support staff in the Chesterfield office.

The success of our company is based on 73 years of client service, a dedication to excellence in construction and a corporate philosophy based on the team approach to construction. Each project, large or small, has the personal attention of one of the company owners, and no building program is complete until the client is satisfied with their facility. As a result, we have a long list of satisfied clients, many of whom are repeat clients.

Several projects have received national and regional recognition. The Center of Clayton received "Construction News and Review's" 2001 Regional Excellence Award; The Pointe at Ballwin Commons was judged the nation's best new municipal recreation center, earning the "Athletic Business" Facility of Merit Award, and "Construction News and Review's" Readers' Choice Award; and Troy Buchanan High School received a national award for excellence.

Our role as the construction professional requires a full understanding of construction practices and good coordination skills to interact with the owner and other team members for successful project delivery. We have established long-lasting, professional relationships with contractors throughout the area and have been honored four times by The American Subcontractors Association as a nominee for Contractor of the Year Award.

We look forward to the opportunity for discussion of your project and the value-added service provided by L. A. Schaefer Construction Company.

"L. A. Schaefer's vast experience was a great asset. As we began construction, Bob Schaefer continued coming to our weekly meetings….His answers to our endless questions were clear and concise….The value engineering he did during the design process and throughout construction saved us countless dollars. Everyone associated with L. A. Schaefer was professional and efficient….It was very reassuring to know our special building was in the hands of this consummate professional and his company."
