About
ISM IS A FAMILY-OWNED CONSTRUCTION AND RENOVATION COMPANY OF LEBANON, PA, AND SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES
At ISM Construction, we are a team that love new home construction and working with people. We are privileged with the opportunity to do both of those things each day in our work. If we can bring you into each phase of design and construction and successfully execute your dream, then we consider it a job well done.
CORE VALUES
Craftsmanship. At ISM, we recognize that craftsmanship goes beyond just building your home. Excellence is in the attention to detail. It means carefully choosing the best subcontractors for each phase and managing the schedule so that no job is rushed. And it means using quality materials that will provide lasting dependability and comfort.
Collaboration. The key to any successful project is clear communication. With countless messages and tasks spinning all at once, we understand how essential it is to connect continually with our clients and subcontractors throughout the project. ISM desires to be responsive to your needs and changes so that we can effectively guide the project to exceed your expectations.
Trustworthiness. At ISM, we realize that choosing a builder is a huge decision, and we don’t take our responsibility lightly. When we give you our word on schedule, cost or any other part of the process, we keep it. Nothing is more important to us than our relationship with you and to follow through on what we’ve communicated to you along the way
