Jim Lally is always looking for a challenge. From building an advanced septic system for the Madison Beach Hotel to developing fish ladders on the Quinnipiac River, Schumack Engineered Construction is certainly more than your average “pick-up truck with two shovels in the back.” Schumack tackles municipal (roads, dams, and bridge work, etc.), residential (drainage, septic, etc.), and commercial (drainage, water main work, etc.) projects with years of experience and expertise. It is, indeed, Schumack’s versatility that has enabled it to create a niche in the construction industry. Jim Lally, owner and president, took over the business in 1979 from his friend, Bill Schumack. Jim liked working on “Engineered Projects” as they are more of a challenge. He pursued these projects and then renamed the company Schumack Engineered Construction.
