About Us
Serving Northwest Arkansas Since 2005
History of Da Vinci
The grandson of a US Veteran/Builder, a successful Chemical Engineer who has led numerous multi-million dollar projects, combined with a passion for custom home building launched the creation of Da Vinci Construction, Inc.
​​
President, Brian Lehmann, founded the company in February 2005 serving the Northwest Arkansas area. His mission, with wife and high school sweetheart, Michelle, was to build forever homes and spaces where dreams are created and memories are made.

Da Vinci primarily built custom homes in the early years throughout Benton and Washington counties. During the recession, the company continued business by shifting to a very strong remodel and renovation market where opportunities mainly came through word of mouth. Their consistent focus on the customer, the application of project management principles, and the practice of energy-efficient building has led to a successful business that thrives on referrals.
​​
This continued success has been built on the trust and partnership of the best of the best sub-contractors in the Northwest Arkansas area. The majority of these relationships are 10+ years and counting. In addition to the long-standing team of subs, Da Vinci has recently added a full-time foreman and additional skilled contractors. This will allow Da Vinci to scale for the continued growth in serving the Nation’s #4 Best Places to Live.
​
This increased growth over the last few years gave Michelle the opportunity to leave her 20+ year career in Engineering and join her husband in their shared dream of building homes for others. They value each opportunity as a partnership and strive to continually learn and improve. They share these values with their daughter, Bailey, and son, Keegan.
