Decades Construction Group

What Decades Construction Group does

Decades Construction Group, Inc. (now operating as 'Decades') is a privately held, mission-driven construction and facilities management company headquartered in Magnolia, New Jersey, founded in 2022 by President Bill Bamford. The company provides integrated construction, renovation, and facilities management services specialized for non-profit organizations serving the intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) community, with particular depth in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Delaware, and the Greater Philadelphia region. Service lines include commercial construction, group home construction, facilities and maintenance management (covering 300+ properties), capital planning (30-year horizon), residential renovation and aging-in-place modifications, and smart home technology integration via partnership with SimplyHome Technology Solutions.

The company operates a hybrid model combining self-performed maintenance crews with contracted vendor services managed through a proprietary RFP process software. Operational technology includes GPS tracking for field technician routing, an online maintenance request platform, and predictive maintenance tooling, supported by a dataset of more than 150,000 man-hours of monitored reactive maintenance that the company cites to demonstrate 160% improvement in productive hours and 58% reduction in labor cost per productive hour. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeted at non-profit IDD operators, layered with thought leadership through industry associations (NJACP, SHA-NJ, CCSNJ, SNJDC, Satell Institute, ASAH) and conference speaking engagements.

Revenue grew from $2.42 million in 2022 to $8.73 million in 2024 (123.47% two-year growth), earning the No. 2 ranking on the Philadelphia Business Journal 2025 Fast 50 list. Pricing is quote-based across project and managed services contracts, with multi-year billing cadence. Headcount is small (1-10 employees) given the revenue scale, indicating a leveraged model reliant on subcontractors and contracted vendors. The company rebranded from 'Decades Construction Group' to 'Decades' in January 2025 to emphasize mission-driven identity beyond pure construction.

Broad incumbents

• Skanska USA: Major national general contractor with significant commercial, healthcare, and institutional building construction practice. Comparable as a broad incumbent competing for institutional construction and renovation contracts in the same U.S. geographies, though at much larger scale.
• ABM Industries: Large national provider of integrated facility services including maintenance, HVAC, and janitorial across commercial and institutional properties. Comparable as a competitor in the recurring facilities management and maintenance revenue stream that anchors Decades' managed services.
• Whiting-Turner Contracting Company: Large Mid-Atlantic-based general contractor with deep nonresidential and institutional construction capabilities. Comparable as a competing provider of commercial and institutional building construction services, though Whiting-Turner operates at vastly greater scale and lacks Decades' IDD/non-profit vertical specialization.
• ISS A/S: Global facility services provider offering integrated workplace and facility management across commercial and institutional real estate. Comparable as a broad incumbent in the outsourced facilities management market that Decades targets with its 300+ property managed services base.
• ServiceMaster Restore / ServiceMaster: National facility services franchise network providing commercial maintenance, janitorial, and disaster restoration services. Comparable as an incumbent in the facility maintenance/managed services category that competes for the same recurring maintenance budgets.
• Gilbane Building Company: Established national general contractor serving commercial, institutional, healthcare, and education clients. Comparable as an incumbent delivering commercial construction and renovation services across the same Mid-Atlantic footprint, but at significantly larger scale and without a focused IDD non-profit go-to-market.

Emerging players

• BrightSpring Health Services: Large diversified provider of home and community-based health services, including to the I/DD population. Comparable as an ecosystem participant whose IDD provider clients overlap with Decades' customer base, representing both a potential strategic partner and an indirect channel influence on IDD facility demand.

Regional players

• Hall Construction Co., Inc. New Jersey-based commercial general contractor performing commercial construction, renovation, and design-build across NJ and PA. Directly comparable as a regional competitor serving institutional and commercial clients in Decades' core geography.
• Massaro Construction Group: Pittsburgh-based construction management firm delivering commercial, institutional, healthcare, and non-profit facility projects. Comparable as a Mid-Atlantic competitor serving institutional and non-profit clients with similar construction and renovation services.
• T.B.P. Construction Company: New Jersey-based general contractor providing commercial construction, design-build, and renovation services in the same Mid-Atlantic region. Directly comparable as a similarly sized regional competitor pursuing commercial and institutional clients in the same geographies.
