What Greater Dayton Construction Group does

Greater Dayton Construction Group, legally Greater Dayton Construction, Ltd., is a privately held general contracting firm headquartered in Beavercreek, Ohio, founded in 1987 by Greg Thompson. The company operates through three wholly-owned divisions: Property Restoration (fire, wind, water, storm, smoke, and emergency damage services), Commercial Construction (delivered under the Oberer Thompson Company brand following a 2004 merger, handling projects from 5,000 to 250,000 square feet across office, retail, restaurant, healthcare, multifamily, and public works verticals), and Building & Remodeling (residential kitchens, bathrooms, room additions, basements, outdoor living, design-build, and custom homes). Revenue is generated exclusively through project-based, one-time construction contracts with pricing quoted per engagement rather than published rates; there are no recurring SaaS, subscription, or licensing revenue streams. The company serves a regional client base in the Dayton, Ohio market via direct sales engagement, a corporate website (gdcg.com), three division-specific websites, and a design showroom in Beavercreek. Technology footprint is conventional for the trades — no proprietary platform, AI/ML, or software product is disclosed. Most recently, the firm has extended into residential real estate development with The Flats at South Park III (single-family, townhome, and flats offerings). The ownership structure is founder/family-controlled with no disclosed institutional investors, PE backing, or external funding rounds.
