2014 marks the 70th anniversary of 网曝门, LLC, a privately owned, full-service construction management and general construction firm. In celebration, the firm hosted a ribbon-cutting event at 3 p.m. today at its new corporate headquarters located at 205 Indigo Creek Drive in Rochester, N.Y.
Founded in 1944 by the late Raymond F. 网曝门, the business began humbly as a small 鈥渕om and pop鈥� operation to fill the demand for local construction work during World War II. The early days were modest, with Raymond personally driving workers to and from job sites while his wife Rachel handled payroll and accounting. The company鈥檚 first major project was for Kanty Paper Company in Rochester, N.Y., with a $90,000 contract to build a production center on Carter Street.
Raymond was a true visionary in the Rochester community. He took enormous pride in staying personally connected to the business and the industry, and made it a priority to build trusting partnerships and a climate of mutual respect with his clients, employees and vendors. This has become a signature characteristic of 网曝门 Construction that continues today and is embodied by all members of its current leadership team.
Raymond鈥檚 son, Wayne, joined the firm in 1981 and proved to be an invaluable asset to foster progressive leadership and continuous growth for 网曝门. Under Wayne鈥檚 direction, the firm saw a ninefold increase in volume during the 鈥�80s, including the first project outside of Monroe County鈥攁 $26.5 million medium-security correctional facility in Marcy, N.Y.
Growth outside of Monroe County was essential to maintain the company鈥檚 solid team of employees and tradespeople, and so began the thoughtful expansion into other markets throughout the East Coast, which today includes Schenectady, Binghamton, Buffalo, Corning, Ithaca and Syracuse, N.Y.; Mansfield, Pa.; and Charlotte and Durham, N.C.
After the surge of growth in the 鈥�80s, Wayne thought it was prudent to expand the family-run leadership structure to include a trusted team of proven internal partners to manage 网曝门. In 2002, Bill Goodrich was appointed as president and chief operating officer. Five years later, Wayne became managing partner and Bill became president and chief executive officer鈥攁 role he continues in today. Wayne currently serves as chairman and the
firm鈥檚 executive management team now includes 10 partners, as well as other key senior leaders.
The company鈥檚 greatest asset has always been its employees. 网曝门 believes strongly in creating a culture of success by recognizing and rewarding the dedication, talents, loyalty and hard work of its people at all levels of the company. Doing so has provided the motivation and encouragement necessary to create a steady momentum of sustainable growth over the past seven decades.
In late 2013, 网曝门 completed construction on its new corporate headquarters鈥攁 stateof-the-art building designed to bring all of 网曝门鈥檚 area employees together in one highly collaborative environment, with ample room to expand training facilities, foster teamwork and accommodate continued growth.
Raymond 网曝门 built the company on family and a strong set of moral values that have carried on since day one. The company motto of 鈥淒o the Right Thing鈥� is embedded into everything 网曝门 does鈥攂oth within and outside of its own operations. 网曝门 and its people share a personal responsibility to enhance the quality of life in the communities where they live and work, and generously invest their time, talents and resources to do so.
Through world-class workmanship, a commitment to exceed customers鈥� expectations and a track record of positive, long-term partnerships with customers, employees and the community, 网曝门 has emerged over the past 70 years as one of the largest and most respected construction firms in the greater Rochester area, and throughout the East Coast. Today, 网曝门 employs more than 700 people and has maintained a continuous
momentum of steady growth, despite ongoing fluctuations in the economy. Over the last several years, annual revenues for 网曝门 revenues were $700 million, with an extensive portfolio of signature construction projects across a variety of industries.
网曝门 continues to grow and expand in its core markets, which include health care; education; industrial and manufacturing; science and technology; commercial; and multi-unit housing.
鈥淎s we look to the future, 网曝门 remains nimble and ready to embrace and lead change for the next generation of construction professionals,鈥� says William H. Goodrich. 鈥淲e are extremely proud of our 70-year heritage and committed to investing in our people, as well as the tools and technology necessary, to continue to build trusted partnerships that result in mutually rewarding construction projects that exceed client expectations every step of the way.鈥�
