Tuttle Construction

On January 18, 2008, the Tuttle Construction Inc. building in Lima, OH was leveled in a massive gas explosion.  In just one year, on January 30, 2009, a new Tuttle Construction office building was dedicated in an Open House.  The 12,000 square foot building was designed to be environmentally friendly, to save both energy and water.  The air conditioning and heating unit uses a refrigeration loop to transfer energy around the building, the lobby is floored in renewable bamboo, and a bike rack was installed to encourage employees to bike to work.  The building is expected to be designated as the county’s first LEED certified building by the U.S. Green Building Council, recognizing the building and construction process as earth-friendly as possible.

Tuttle Construction was started in 1928 by Herbert U. Tuttle as a general construction company, in Lima, Ohio.  In 1954, the company incorporated.  Since 1992, Clyde R. Rauch has been the sole owner of the company.  The company was founded on family values and a strong, honest work ethic.  Still today, Tuttle Construction’s success remains a direct result of its continuous commitment to its many customers.
