Local Expertise. Proven Experience. Community Commitment.
True Grit Construction Inspection LLC is a Crawfordsville‑based firm founded in 2026 by Ian Lesko, a construction professional with more than two decades of experience supporting Departments of Transportation, Local Public Agencies, airport authorities, and utility owners across the country. After years of leading inspection teams—often more than 60 certified inspectors nationwide—Ian saw firsthand how large firms operate and how profit‑driven models can overshadow service quality.
True Grit was built to be different.
Our mission is to deliver dedicated, community‑focused construction inspection at rates far more cost‑effective than national providers. Every inspector on our team lives, works, and invests in the same communities we serve. That local commitment creates a level of accountability, responsiveness, and care that outside firms simply cannot match. The result is meticulous inspection, strong compliance oversight, and responsible stewardship of taxpayer dollars—performed by professionals who genuinely value the long‑term success of West Central Indiana.
Ian’s career includes extensive work with INDOT and LPAs, with project experience spanning roadways, bridges, utilities, and aviation. His deep understanding of INDOT standards and specifications has made him a trusted resource to the INDOT Crawfordsville District, earning strong performance evaluations and repeated requests for leadership on high‑profile projects.
Core Strengths
- Construction management — guiding projects from pre‑construction through closeout with a focus on quality, safety, and schedule.
- Materials testing & inspection — utilizing INDOT‑recognized methods and industry‑standard testing procedures.
- Quantity tracking & budget control — ensuring accurate documentation and responsible use of taxpayer funds.
- Clear, consistent communication — maintaining thorough records and fostering productive relationships with contractors, owners, and stakeholders.
Clients—including the City of Crawfordsville—value Ian’s work ethic, detailed documentation, and firm‑but‑fair approach to contractor oversight. His technical proficiency includes SiteManager and a wide range of INDOT‑approved testing methods such as LWD, DCP, concrete air/slump/yield testing, beam breaker testing, soils testing, and retroreflectivity evaluations.
True Grit combines technical skill, leadership experience, and community‑based values to deliver inspection services that strengthen local infrastructure and support the long‑term growth of the region.
