LFG Story

REDEFINING GREAT SERVICE

In 2021, Patrick Loyacona, founder of the Loyacona Consulting Group, and Russell Fountain, founder of Global Disaster Solutions, merged companies to establish Loyacona Fountain Group, a building and construction consultancy. After working together on several multimillion-dollar projects, Patrick and Russell discovered they had a shared vision for doing good business and providing unparalleled services to their clients. Throughout the years, Patrick and Russell have observed their industry shift, creating voids and opportunities. Together, they felt compelled to scale their businesses through a merger to fill these voids and provide the quality of service and expertise the building, construction, and insurance consulting industries are craving. Patrick and Russell began their venture by assembling a passionate and dedicated team of experts with decades of building and construction experience, equipping them with robust technology and sound systems. Since its conception, LFG has quickly grown into a national provider of first-class building and construction consultancy solutions for projects of all sizes and complexities.
