Their team has consistently demonstrated their dedication and expertise to tenant improvement projects at Imeson Landing Business Park.

We look forward to continuing our successful relationship on future interior projects."

"We challenged LAY Construction to complete our headquarters buildout in just over six months. This was an incredibly fast-tracked schedule, given the size of the build out. LAY Construction's versatility and experience with complex construction enabled them to meet this aggressive schedule while achieving our high-quality standards and expectations."

“LAY Construction understood and met every one of the deadlines set by us during a massive project. During the buildout, I asked Hank and his team to do something they had not attempted and the result led to one of the best places in Jacksonville Beach! I am grateful to have met Hank in 2009 and highly recommend LAY Construction to those looking to complete improvements at your place of work!”

“After working many years with LAY Construction, we have found the entire team to be very professional, responsive, and able to get the job completed in a timely manner.”

"We have used Lay twice now for our commercial build outs.  We have unique needs being a pediatric rehabilitation practice.  Not only was LAY Construction efficient, their team was easy to communicate with.  They were also highly sensitive to the nature of our patient population of predominantly children on the Autism Spectrum.  They arranged for loud jobs to be conducted outside of business hours so they did not disturb the children.  When the time comes again to build on more space, they will be the first ones we call!"

"The entire team at LAY Construction were amazing to work with! They were very professional, knowledgeable and had excellent communication throughout the entire process. They made an overwhelming process seem easy from beginning to end, and the end result exceeded all of our expectations!"
