New Generation Construction Group
If there ’ s one thing to take away from a conversation with the senior management team at New Generation Construction Group , it ’ s that relationships are important to them .
Founded in 2009 , NGC didn ’ t just survive the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression ; it thrived . It ’ s taken the company only five years to go from start-up to a business that reported close to $ 80 million in revenue last year . According to President Justin Hernandez , the relationships that company has built are the glue that holds their vision together .
“ We build relationships ,” Hernandez said . “ We really focus on understanding our clients [ and ] delivering a project that meets our client ’ s needs , but more importantly building a long-term relationship . Approximately 70 to 80 percent of our business is repeat .”
That ’ s a responsibility that NGC takes seriously . Since a company operating in the construction market , like so many others , can go for periods of time without having enough work , many businesses turn to subcontractors for both specialized and generalized labor .
