L&D Construction
Description
L&D Construction is a Denver-based ADU builder with deep roots in Colorado’s residential construction industry. Founded by Colorado native David Schultz, the company combines decades of family construction experience with hands-on knowledge of Denver’s evolving housing market and urban development landscape.
David grew up around the construction industry through his father, who spent more than 35 years building custom homes across Colorado. That early exposure to residential construction laid the foundation for a career centered around craftsmanship, project management, and practical building solutions.
A Background Built in Colorado Construction
Before launching L&D Construction, David worked as both a laborer and superintendent for Spanjar Homes in Fort Collins between 2006 and 2009. His experience covered a wide range of residential construction responsibilities, helping him develop a detailed understanding of the building process from the ground up.
In addition to his construction background, David is also involved in a family-owned real estate investment company. That experience provides valuable insight into the investment side of residential development, including long-term property value, rental potential, and strategic housing improvements.
After relocating to Denver in 2009, David established L&D Construction and began remodeling homes and building breweries throughout the city’s growing urban core.
From Personal ADU Project to Specialized ADU Builder
As Denver experienced rapid population growth and increasing housing demand, accessory dwelling units became an increasingly important solution for homeowners looking to maximize their property’s potential.
Rather than simply entering the ADU market from the outside, David personally built an accessory dwelling unit in his own backyard. That firsthand experience gave him direct insight into the permitting process, zoning requirements, construction challenges, and long-term value that ADUs can provide.
In 2017, L&D Construction formally expanded into a dedicated ADU construction division focused specifically on helping Denver-area homeowners build additional dwelling units on their properties.
Specialized ADU Construction Services
Today, L&D Construction works as a focused ADU contractor serving homeowners throughout the Denver area. Their projects are designed to create flexible living spaces that improve property functionality while adding long-term value.
Their services include:
- Detached ADU construction
- Backyard cottage builds
- Granny flats
- Flexible secondary dwelling units
- Urban infill ADU projects
- Site-specific ADU planning and construction
As an experienced backyard cottage builder, L&D Construction understands the unique challenges involved in building within established Denver neighborhoods, including zoning regulations, lot constraints, utility access, and permitting requirements.
Local Knowledge and Hands-On Experience
One of the key factors that separates L&D Construction from many general contractors is their focused experience in the ADU market combined with David’s personal involvement in the process as both a builder and property owner.
Their team understands the realities of urban residential construction in Denver and works closely with homeowners to create accessory dwelling units that are practical, functional, and aligned with long-term property goals.
Whether the project involves creating rental income opportunities, accommodating family members, or adding flexible living space, L&D Construction brings local expertise and hands-on construction experience to every ADU build.
Focused on Long-Term Value
L&D Construction approaches every project with an emphasis on quality craftsmanship, thoughtful planning, and durable construction practices. Their goal is to deliver accessory dwelling units that integrate naturally with the existing property while providing meaningful long-term value for homeowners.
For Denver homeowners considering a detached ADU, granny flat, or backyard cottage, L&D Construction offers specialized experience rooted in Colorado construction, real estate knowledge, and firsthand ADU building expertise.
