Schooley's article highlighted the family and business timeline. Landau has a long history in the construction industry of Pittsburgh, beginning with Henrich and his sons in the late 1800s.  His three sons, Jacob, Fred, and Albert, formalized the family's work and incorporated it as Landau Brothers Construction Company, with  Jacob as the first president.  

The company continued to grow and secured its place as a respectable member of the construction region, as demonstrated through long ties with the Master Builders' Association of Western Pennsylvania.  CEO Tom Landau discovered the original 1922 MBA charter certificate from the MBA, as his family has also been active on the MBA board for generations.  MBA Director of Industry Relations Jon O'Brien commented, "It shows you how much of a long-standing relationship they have with us that they could hold on to important documents like that."  

When Tom's father Roy was president, Landau was known mainly for retail building, like Kroger, A&P, and JCPenney; before that, his grandfather focused on office renovations in downtown Pittsburgh, like Dollar Savings Bank, the Oliver Building and the Gulf Building.  Beginning during Tom Landau's presidency and continuing under Jeff's leadership, the company developed a solid reputation for work in healthcare and higher education, as well as commercial and community buildings.

O'Brien kindly remarked in the article, "They have one of the most friendly and energetic offices.  And it's a very close-knit group that they have working together.  They have a good thing going."  

Landau continues to work hard to build and maintain the reputation in the industry that was started by its ancestors over a century ago.
