Building with concrete since 1906.
Wickersham is a general contractor in Lancaster, PA, building plants, treatment facilities and public buildings across Pennsylvania, Maryland and Delaware.
We build the hard parts ourselves.
Structural concrete, process piping, rigging and carpentry are done by our own crews. That’s work many general contractors hand off, and keeping it in-house is how we hold quality, schedule and cost.
