Corcon Construction

What Corcon Construction does

Corcon Construction (CORCON), founded in 1987 by John Corso, is a privately-held national general contractor headquartered at 839 Stewart Avenue, Garden City, New York, providing commercial construction services across 27 states through regional operational hubs in New York, Florida, and California. The company specializes in four primary verticals — retail and store rollouts, restaurants, medical and banking facilities, and health and fitness spaces — executing multi-location rollouts, remodels and refreshes, ground-up construction, and construction management for enterprise clients including Nespresso, Hermes, Chanel, Abercrombie & Fitch, Bond Vet, PureGym, Barry's Bootcamp, Oak Street Health, and Kura Sushi.

The company's service delivery is built around a proprietary three-phase CORCON Process spanning pre-construction (permit expediting, budgets, site surveys, cost analysis, scheduling), construction (full-time on-site leadership), and post-construction (comprehensive close-out package, O&M manuals, systems commissioning). Differentiated capabilities include the 'Company Man' model of salaried superintendents and project managers deployed to every site, a traveling superintendent network enforcing New York quality standards across the 27-state footprint, OSHA 30 and ICRA compliance for regulated environments, specialized acoustic isolation systems for fitness studios, and night-shift and phased construction for occupied-space remodels. Supporting services include standardized estimating with unified CSI templates, centralized reporting with executive dashboards, regional vendor coordination, site development and pad preparation, shell and core construction, MEP undergrounds, exterior facade systems, finish and millwork upgrades, and a Builder's Toolkit of gated content resources for rollout planning.

CORCON generates revenue through project-based general contracting fees on fixed-price and cost-plus contracts, with all pricing quote-based and tied to project specifications. The go-to-market motion is direct enterprise field sales targeting global brand leaders undertaking national multi-site programs. With a headcount of 101-250 employees, the company is wholly founder-owned, has no external capital or parent company, and maintains leadership continuity under John Corso as CEO alongside COO Russ Delisi, CTO Dan Rubenstein, and VP of Construction Todd Stake.
