ockwood Design and Construction Co. Inc. is a family managed business serving the Delaware area.  In 1975, Don H. Lockwood, started this company by commercially designing buildings. Just a year later, the corporation began constructing the buildings it designed. In 1989, Don A.

Brother, Darin Lockwood, now a registered Professional Engineer, runs Meridian Consulting Engineers, a partner company of Lockwood Design.  Don A.

The major portion of the Lockwood business is within a 35-mile radius encompassing the area from Dover, Delaware to Salisbury, Maryland. We build an average of 25 to 30 homes a year with 85 to 90 percent of our plans being designed in-house. We provide an in-house showroom and The latest in state-of-the-art technology for Computer Aided Drafting (CAD).  The atmosphere in our office unlike most companies, is relaxing and inviting....welcoming new customers with a warm greeting and a smile.   We treat customers as if we've known them for years, and our clients remain our friends even after the job is completed, which is rarely seen in other companies today.  

65 to 70 percent of our business are permanent residences, while the remainder are beach homes for those who want a second dwelling and commercial buildings for local businesses.

All types of homes (contemporary, ranch, and colonial) are popular in today's market, and there are many opportunities to build them in the beach area. One special feature, located at our Milton base, is a 17,000 square foot shop that we can construct a large portion of the structure in, thus protecting the product from inclement weather. Another added benefit of choosing Lockwood Design and Construction is that we have storage facilities (Lock, Etc.) and rental homes for those in transition. If interested in renovation or commercial construction, we do that also.
