BUSINESS DIVERSITY
Promoting Diversity
At Larson-Danielson Construction, we are committed to building the communities in which we work, literally constructing a better world for all of us. We understand this requires creating meaningful opportunities for its residents and for the local trade contractors and suppliers. That is why we are committed to helping minority and women business enterprises, as well as small businesses in general.
Our commitment extends within our own ranks as well. In the past few years, the company has nearly doubled the employment of minorities and women on our jobs. We also understand the importance of providing even greater opportunities for future generations to join and grow in this exciting industry. We work with numerous organizations that help create these opportunities.
Why We Do It
It’s not about quotas, politics or philanthropy. It’s certainly more than just conforming to mandated EEO requirements. It’s about helping each other and working together. It’s about building communities and relationships.
Vendor and Subcontractor Initiative
We take a proactive approach to involve minority- and women-owned businesses in our projects. Our database includes qualified MBE, WBE, and VBE contractors in Northwest Indiana. We also use the certified supplier and contractor database from the Indiana Department of Administration.
We assist interested suppliers by providing all necessary project documentation. This proactive strategy boosts MBE, WBE, and VBE vendor participation and fosters competitive proposals.

Workforce Initiative
We believe in increasing the diversity of the construction industry workforce, including women and minorities. In that effort, we have partnered with our trade union partners and other Northwest Indiana contractors to support the Indiana Plan, a pre-apprenticeship program to support and encourage diversity within the construction industry.
We’re hiring. Join our team!
