LeChase Construction is doing changes in its leadership structure.
The company recently named William Goodrich as president and promoted Kyle Sayers to president, according to a company press release.
Goodrich, who has been with LeChase for nearly four decades, has served as CEO since 2007, a position he retains in his new role. Sayers, who joined the company in 1997, previously served as executive vice president and chief operating officer, according to the release.
The moves align with LeChase’s strategy to grow its market share in established regions while expanding its footprint in the Northeast and Carolinas.

“In the Carolinas, we have a long-standing presence in Durham and Charlotte. While we continue to grow in those areas, we are also looking to increase our presence in the [Piedmont] Triad market,” Goodrich said in an email to Construction Dive. “Similarly, our New York metropolitan office has received clients in nearby Connecticut, and our Corning, New York office is giving serving a growing number of customers in North Central Pennsylvania.”
Like many in the industry, Goodrich stressed that the workforce remains one of the main challenges of the company. The company has implemented several workforce development initiatives, university partnerships and referral programs to address these needs and provide development opportunities for existing employees to grow within the company.
“It’s not just a matter of finding people,” Goodrich said. “It’s about finding the right people, who are not only talented, but who meet our expectations for safety, quality and customer service.”

How LeChase moves ahead with expansion plans, Sayers expects the construction landscape to remain strong in the company’s regions through 2025. However, he noted: global supply chain issues and the affordability of the project remain priorities to monitor.
“We We have a very positive outlook for 2025 and see strength in all the markets and geographies in which we operate,” Sayers said in an email. “Our focus on building partnerships with our customers, rather than simply building projects for them, will continue to guide us in the future.”
