What Corenic does

Corenic Construction is a privately held, mid-Atlantic commercial general contracting and construction management firm founded in 2009 by Brunson Cooper in Washington, D.C. The company delivers interior alterations, renovations, base buildings, facility additions, and tenant improvements for commercial, government, education, retail, automotive, healthcare, and nonprofit clients across the District of Columbia, Maryland, Virginia, and Pittsburgh. Its reported scope spans small interior fit-outs under 1,000 SF up to a 144,000 SF K-12 facility, with cumulative output of more than 1,000 projects and 19+ million square feet delivered since inception. Notable engagements include partnerships with the Baltimore Ravens on the $430M M&T Bank Stadium upgrade (with Gilbane), GSA-compliant federal tenant build-outs for the FDA and Veteran Affairs, K-12 and higher education work for Prince George's County Public Schools and George Washington University, luxury auto dealership builds for BMW, McLaren, Lamborghini, and Rolls Royce, and community retail projects for Starbucks.

Corenic generates revenue primarily through project-based general contracting and construction management fees on individual jobs, with delivery models covering general contracting, construction management, and design-build. Pricing is custom-quoted per project with no public rate card; over 80% of business comes from repeat clients, indicating a relationship-led, sales-driven go-to-market anchored in the mid-Atlantic. The company operates three offices (Washington DC headquarters, Largo MD regional hub, and Baltimore) with 50+ full-time staff as of 2025 and no disclosed external institutional funding.

As of 2025, Corenic reports annual revenue of approximately $68M (up from $50M+ in 2022 and a $17,000 first job in 2010), was named to the INC. 5000 list and received the DC Chamber 2025 Business of the Year award, and is preparing geographic expansion into Richmond, the Carolinas, and Florida. Strategic positioning centers on a founder-led operating team with deep Turner Construction lineage, sustainable construction solutions, and pursuit of high-credential projects that anchor its reputation for on-time delivery across commercial interiors, federal work, education, and community development.
