What Zlotnick Construction, Inc. does

Zlotnick Construction, Inc. (ZCI) is a third-generation, family-owned commercial general contractor headquartered in Mansfield Center, Connecticut. Founded in 1948 by George Zlotnick after returning from WWII and formally incorporated in 1958, the company has built a 75+ year operating history delivering commercial construction services across the Northeast US — primarily Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Rhode Island, with historical and ongoing project extension into New York, Vermont, and New Hampshire. The leadership team is composed of Gregory G. Zlotnick (President & CEO, 55+ years of industry experience), Peter G. Zlotnick (Vice President & Corporate Secretary), and Gregory G. Zlotnick Jr. (Vice President, leading the sitework division). Headcount is 11–50 employees, consistent with a delivery model that self-performs key trades while subcontracting the majority of specialty work.

ZCI offers a full suite of commercial construction services, including General Contracting (design-bid-build), Construction Management, Design/Build, Pre-Construction planning, and Pre-Engineered Metal Building construction through a partnership with Kirby Building Systems. Self-performed capabilities span site-work, demolition, concrete, carpentry, gypsum assemblies, acoustical ceilings, painting, and flooring. Project sizes range from $1,000 to $25,000,000 across diverse end markets including retail chains, multifamily housing, healthcare, educational institutions, municipal and government, industrial, religious, gas/convenience, and food/hospitality. The company uses Procore for project management and GPS-enabled estimating technology for its sitework division; there is no proprietary technology platform.

The business model is project-based. Zlotnick Construction generates revenue through lump-sum fixed-price contracts and construction management at-risk agreements, acquired via competitive public and private-sector bidding, direct client negotiations, Master Service Agreements, and long-standing repeat engagements. Named enterprise customers include Walmart (Master Service Agreement since 2010), McDonald's USA LLC (Master Agreement since 2018), Costco, BJ's Wholesale Club, Big Y, Price Chopper, Price Rite, Pfizer, Pratt & Whitney (task-order contract since 1984), UCONN, Hartford Hospital, Samuels & Associates (relationship since the 1970s), and multiple Connecticut municipalities and the State of Connecticut DOT. The company reports 90% repeat client revenue and 300+ projects completed in the last five years. ZCI is privately held with no external investors, parent company, or public ticker.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• General Contracting Traditional design-bid-build project delivery where the contractor coordinates and manages the entire construction project from start to finish, capable of self-performing work, hiring subcontractors, or using a combination of both. Targeted at commercial property owners, developers, and institutions.
• Construction Management Project delivery method where the owner hires both the construction team and design team early on, featuring a partnership and team approach from project inception to closeout with increased value engineering and client involvement. Includes CM at-risk agreements used on public projects such as the I-95 Rest Plazas.
• Design/Build Delivery method where the contractor and design team form a single entity working collectively for the client, providing one point of contact and increased communication between design and construction phases.
• Pre-Construction Services Strategic planning phase services including risk assessment, conceptual estimates, value engineering ideas, and subcontractor qualification and selection, available as a standalone offering or incorporated into construction management agreements.
• Pre-Engineered Metal Building Construction Custom-engineered steel building solutions delivered through a partnership with Kirby Building Systems, offering cost-effective, durable construction with design flexibility and direct manufacturer support for a seamless turnkey project.
