March 17, 2023 marks 40 years of Lloyd’s. We appreciate the good days, learn from the bad ones, and look forward to many more days together.
We feel this monumental milestone is a perfect opportunity to unveil our logo refresh and a video highlighting our focus on a sustainable future – because constant evolution is crucial to the longevity of any successful business.
Thanks to all who have supported our growth and accomplishments; you continue to make this all possible!
We are extremely proud to showcase our new office space. Completed in 2020, this labor of love was years in the making for the Lloyd family and something that we hope will be meaningful and impactful for future generations of our family and community.
In our line of work, there is a strong emphasis on environmental impact through waste reduction, recycling, and reuse. As a selective demolition contractor, we have a unique opportunity at the start of projects to salvage a wide variety items that originally were slated to be landfilled. It has been something that has been important to our company from the start for economical and environmental reasons, and because of that, it is something we have been doing over the past 30 years. As we set out to build our new headquarters, we knew that we wanted this idea to be at the forefront of our building efforts – not only to “talk the talk” that we preach to our own customers and building owners, but to show the industry that reuse is a worthwhile and effective building solution.
We are extremely proud that 338.74 tons of material or roughly 55% of our new space was created with reused building materials; materials that required no additional carbon footprint to recycle, but rather used in the virgin form and diverted from the landfill. One of the most impressive feats of the entire project is that we were able to complete deconstruct an existing three-story building on site and reuse the top level as the structural frame for our office. Additionally, almost all interior and exterior design elements of the office were created using stockpiled salvaged debris. Many of these items were identified and salvaged at the beginning of a multitude of our selective demolition jobs or were found in our dumpsters and were extracted before they ended up in the landfill.
Our hope for this project is that our office will be a showroom of innovation. A way for others to see that reuse is not only environmentally-friendly, but design-friendly as well. Many times when we come onto the project as a demolition contractor, owners and other project stakeholders don’t look at the building components through a reuse lens. They aren’t able to see the potential in the items and instead look for new products that achieve an on-trend look. Our office gives us the ability to showcase this potential to others and provide inspiration for future projects. Recycling is good, but reuse is best. Reuse requires no additional energy consumption and finds a way to make use of the material in its original state. We would argue that it would be difficult to find a project of this scale ever previously done, but hope that it will be replicated many times in the years to come.
We are humbled to be one of five family businesses honored this year with a Minnesota Family Business Award. We thank Twin Cities Business magazine and the entire panel for the honor and especially all of those who have worked along side us for the past 37 years to mold our family business to the success it is today.
