Charles Licha Construction Inc., established in 1948 by Charles Licha, is a family-owned general contracting company rooted in strong values and a commitment to quality. Originally founded to address the housing shortage in post-WWII Los Angeles, the company quickly built a reputation for excellence, attracting high-profile clients from Hollywood and beyond. Over the decades, Licha Construction transitioned its focus to commercial construction, a decision that has led to a diverse portfolio boasting various structures such as offices, retail centers, restaurants, and religious buildings.
With licenses across nearly 40 states, including California and Hawaii, Licha Construction has maintained a steadfast commitment to adapting to the changing landscape of the construction industry. The leadership has remained within the family, with Rick Fricke, son-in-law of the founder, overseeing operations since 1993, ensuring that the company's core principles are upheld while integrating modern construction techniques and technologies.
Licha Construction prides itself on delivering projects on time and within budget, a feat made possible through a highly experienced staff and strong partnerships with architects and government agencies. Their reputation is further enhanced by their commitment to community service, as they actively support multiple non-profit organizations. The company also emphasizes sustainability and has a LEED-accredited design team dedicated to creating environmentally-friendly buildings.
As they continue to expand their services throughout the Western U.S., including recent projects in states like Arizona, Texas, and Nevada, Licha Construction remains a trusted name in the industry, recognized for superior business ethics and an exemplary track record.
