What Buono Construction does

Gorick Construction Co., Inc. is a family-owned full-service heavy highway and demolition contractor founded in 1945 by Alfred Gorick in Binghamton, New York. The company serves government, institutional, and commercial clients across New York's Southern Tier through four integrated service lines: heavy highway construction (roads, bridges, ports), turnkey demolition (commercial, residential, industrial), excavation and earthwork (site preparation, grading, foundation work), and aggregate crushing and recycling via its wholly owned subsidiary Alfred Gorick Company, which operates four production facilities in Kirkwood, Nineveh, Greene, and Damascus producing NYSDOT-approved crushed stone, sand, gravel, and structural fill. Operations are anchored by a capital-intensive fleet that includes Trimble GPS-guided precision systems and a Caterpillar 352 UHD excavator—a 130,000-pound high-reach machine with a hydraulically removable 27,000-pound counterweight designed for expedited emergency mobilization—with on-site crushing and screening enabling up to 95% materials recycling by weight.

The business runs on a project-based professional services model. Pricing is quote-driven and not publicly disclosed, with a stated 24-hour inquiry response time and multi-year contract cadence on large engagements. The customer base spans municipal agencies (City of Buffalo / Housing Authority, City of Oneonta, Liberty School District), large enterprises (Bristol Myers Squibb, Casella Waste Systems, FedEx Ground, Boscov's), technology firms (IBM, Micron Technology), healthcare and education institutions (Strong Memorial Hospital / University of Rochester Medical Center, Binghamton University), and real estate developers (Oakdale Commons, The Marshall in Vestal). Marquee engagements include 1.7 million+ cubic yards of landfill airspace for Casella (2016–2019), 300,000+ cubic yards of site excavation for a FedEx Ground distribution facility, phase-one demolition of 40+ homes for the Micron Technology Clay, NY megafab, and demolition of the IBM Huron Campus and Country Club.

Go-to-market is sales-led and regionally focused, centered on direct engagement supported by a corporate website with quote-request functionality, an extensive project portfolio, social media presence (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube, LinkedIn), and earned coverage in Demolition Magazine and US Builder Review. The company is led by multi-generational family management—President Alfred F. Gorick Jr. and Corporate Secretary Kristi Gorick—with no parent company, outside investors, or public-ownership structure disclosed.
