What Conger does

Conger Construction Group, Inc. is a family-owned commercial construction firm headquartered in Lebanon, Ohio, founded in 1992 by Larry Conger and currently led in its second generation by Justin Conger as President & CEO. The company delivers projects across Southwest Ohio through six core service lines: Construction Management (including Construction Manager at Risk, or CMR, delivery), Design/Build, General Contracting, Preconstruction planning, Pre-Engineered Metal Buildings (PEMB), and Self-Perform construction. As an authorized Star Building Systems distributor for approximately twenty years, with two in-house certified Star designers, the firm offers vertically integrated PEMB design-build capability that distinguishes it from typical regional general contractors.

Conger has completed more than 700 projects with a cumulative value exceeding $800 million, including $104 million delivered via CMR, $49 million via General Contracting, and $8.3 million via Design/Build. Its primary customer segments are K-12 education (school districts such as Middletown, Valley View, West Clermont, Mt. Healthy), municipal and government clients (Warren County, Franklin-Springboro Public Library, fire stations, fairgrounds), and healthcare providers (dental offices, dialysis clinics, orthopedics, a pet adoption center). Secondary segments include corporate/professional services, sports and recreation, sacred spaces, and industrial/manufacturing. The firm pursues LEED certification on public-sector projects, with notable LEED Gold (Middletown Middle School, 2018) and multiple LEED Silver outcomes. Marquee projects include a 402,000-square-foot high school, a 211,586-square-foot PK-12 building, and the 300,000-cubic-yard Warren County Sports Park.

The business model is project-based services revenue earned through competitive bidding, GMP agreements, and CMR contracts with project owners; there are no franchisees, resellers, or intermediaries. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and varies by project scope, complexity, and delivery method. The go-to-market is relationship-driven enterprise field sales, with a dedicated Director of Business Development, long-standing architect referral partnerships (SHP Leading Design, Fanning Howey, CR Architecture, Emersion Design), and a project portfolio website as the primary digital channel. Operations are supported by Procore and Building Connected. The firm is privately held with no disclosed institutional investors, funding rounds, or parent entity, and remains under family control.
