What Bognet Construction does

Bognet Construction Associates, Inc. is a 100% employee-owned (ESOP) commercial general contractor founded in 1998 and headquartered in Tysons, Virginia, with a second regional office in Columbia, Maryland opened in 2024. The firm specializes in large-scale commercial tenant interior fit-outs, base building and repositioning work, and historic preservation across the Washington metropolitan and Mid-Atlantic regions, with growing capabilities in secure/SCIF construction, multifamily conversion, and hospitality. Its service portfolio spans pre-construction (estimating, value analysis, CPM scheduling, constructability review), full construction management (schedule, materials, quality, safety, and close-out), and sustainability consulting for LEED, WELL, and DC Green Code compliance, with a 100% success rate cited on green building certifications.

Revenue is generated through project-based contracts (fixed-price, cost-plus, and construction management delivery) with enterprise, government, and institutional end clients, sourced primarily through relationship channels with major CRE brokerages (Cushman & Wakefield, JLL, CBRE, Newmark, Transwestern, Avison Young) and property owners (Boston Properties, Monday Properties, American Realty Advisors). The go-to-market is enterprise field sales, with a heavy emphasis on repeat clients and referrals; documented customers include NGA, US Secret Service, Peraton, ANSER, Two Six Technologies, Boies Schiller Flexner, Zuckerman Spaeder, Russell Reynolds, and the Visitation Hotel. Differentiators include the ESOP ownership model, a registered "RELENTLESSLY PROACTIVE" service philosophy, deep architecture-firm partnerships (OTJ, Hickok Cole, FORM), and a 15+ award track record across CREBA, NAIOP, CoreNet, AIA|DC, CREW DC, and the Washington Building Congress. The company is privately held with no disclosed external investors, parent, or acquisition history.
