CIVIL CONSTRUCTION THAT PERFORMS
UNDER PRESSURE
Lee Civil delivers underground utility, sitework, and water and wastewater infrastructure for municipalities, general contractors, and industrial clients across the Midwest and Southeast. When schedules are tight, coordination is complex, and the infrastructure has to perform for decades, we bring the experience and accountability to get the work done right.
ONE CIVIL PARTNER FOR THE FULL PICTURE.
Complex civil projects often divide earthwork, underground utilities, and treatment work across multiple contractors, scopes, and schedules. Every handoff creates another point of coordination and another opportunity for delays or gaps in accountability.
Lee Civil brings more of that work together under one accountable team, helping align schedules, reduce handoffs, and maintain clear responsibility from groundbreaking through commissioning.
For complex infrastructure projects, that’s more than convenience. It’s risk reduction.

INFRASTRUCTURE THAT HAS TO WORK FOR DECADES.
BUILT FOR THE ACCOUNTABILITY THAT COMPLEX CIVIL WORK DEMANDS.
Whether it’s public infrastructure or private development, civil work carries real consequences when schedules slip, coordination breaks down, or the work isn’t done right.
With decades of experience across public and private civil construction, Lee Civil brings the same disciplined approach to planning, coordination, and execution on every project.
Compliance Mastery
With decades of experience navigating public infrastructure requirements, Lee Civil understands the regulatory environments in Michigan, Ohio, and Indiana, including EGLE, U.S. EPA, Ohio EPA, and IDEM requirements.
That familiarity helps teams anticipate permitting needs, coordinate inspections, manage documentation, and keep compliance requirements from becoming unnecessary project delays.
Design-Build for Water and Wastewater
Our water and wastewater teams support projects from early planning through commissioning. We can work alongside your engineering team or provide design capability directly when the project calls for a more integrated delivery approach.
Full-Cycle Project Management
Long-cycle civil projects demand disciplined coordination from start to finish. With experience managing multi-year timelines across hundreds of projects, Lee Civil keeps owners and engineers aligned through procurement, construction, commissioning, and closeout.
Accountable by Design
In civil construction, accountability is non-negotiable. Lee has built its reputation by earning repeat work from municipalities and public agencies where performance, communication, and follow-through matter.
As a 100% employee-owned company, that accountability is personal for the people responsible for your project.
FAQ: LEE CIVIL
Lee Civil, the civil construction division of Lee Contracting, offers two specialized disciplines: Earthwork & Underground Utilities (including excavation, water and sewer line installation, site development and utility repairs) and Water & Wastewater Treatment (including new plant construction, design-build projects, plant upgrades, lift station and pump station construction and ongoing maintenance programs). Lee Civil is a civil construction company that serves municipalities, public works departments and industrial facilities across Michigan and the Midwest.
Yes. Lee Civil has built more than 200 water and wastewater treatment plants across Michigan and the Midwest over the past five decades. Services include new plant construction, plant additions and upgrades, design-build delivery and ongoing maintenance and repair programs. We work with municipalities, county and state agencies, and water utility districts.
Yes. Lee Civil's earthwork and underground utilities team installs and repairs water lines, sanitary and storm sewer lines, chemical sewer lines and utility infrastructure for municipalities, general contractors, and industrial facilities across Michigan, with concentrated project experience in Mid-Michigan and the Tri-Cities region.
Lee Civil operates two distinct service areas. Our Earthwork & Underground Utilities side covers site preparation, excavation, underground pipe and utility installation, site development and restoration work, primarily for municipalities, GCs, and industrial facilities. Our Water & Wastewater Treatment teams cover the construction and maintenance of water and wastewater treatment plants, lift stations and pump stations, primarily for municipal governments and utility authorities. Both operate under Lee Civil as part of Lee Contracting.
Yes, and that coordination is a key advantage of working with Lee Civil. Many infrastructure projects require both underground utility work and treatment plant construction. Having both disciplines under one civil construction company eliminates the gap in accountability that comes from managing two separate firms, and allows for a unified project schedule and a single point of contact throughout.
