Lester Building Systems is one of the nation’s leading manufacturers and builders of pre-engineered post-frame wood structures. Approximately 1500 Lester Buildings are constructed each year in the US between the Rocky Mountains and the East Coast. Lester Buildings are purchased for a wide variety of end uses in the agricultural, commercial, institutional and suburban/hobby markets. (See www.lesterbuildings.com for more information.)  

Most Lester Buildings are sold using Improv, Lester’s custom-built Building Design, Configuration and Sales software. Improv is used to collect a customer’s building requirements, do complete structural design and detailing, compile parts into a bill of material, calculate building pricing information, and produce drawings for sales, permitting and construction. Improv is built and maintained solely by Lester personnel and is a critical component in all aspects of Lester operations from sales to construction.
