Estimator/Project Manager




Chris Lochmann

Chris started at Kelpe Contracting, Inc. in March of 2002.  He was hired on to manage our pipe and fitting inventory warehouse commonly known as “West County Supply.”  Throughout the years, Chris developed a close relationship with the material vendors and learned a vast amount about the various pipe and fitting types.  This eventually led to a smooth transition into estimating and project management.  Chris joined the management team in 2010 and is one of our most effective and successful estimators/project managers on the team.  Chris provides estimates on all utility types and has developed excellent working relationships with various water districts, sewer districts, and municipalities.  When Chris is not at work, he enjoys classic and modern car restoration, golfing, and spending time with his wife.
