Today , the company ’ s capabilities span preconstruction , construction management , general contracting , carpentry , and laboring services . “ Our focus has always been based on creating long-term relationships in every one of these services ,” Gerry states . “ We place the client at the heart of operations and strive day in , day out to deliver the best possible service .

Such relationships are evidenced by DGC ’ s repeat customers , with numerous projects for Deloitte , Starbucks , Stew Leonards , Whole Foods , Stop & Shop , ShopRite , and Eataly . For example , DGC completed the interior fit out of a $ 20 million , 100,000-squarefoot multi-level new building for Deloitte in historic Morristown , New Jersey . Each floor consists of approximately 20,000 square feet of architectural and MEP office space including a sixth-floor open terrace with a view of the downtown and surrounding mountains . All the work was scheduled to be completed in eight months and was finished on time and on budget .
A winning outcome
“ One of our most challenging projects was at the Citicorp building , where we were contracted by 24 Hour Fitness Club to build a gym and full-size swimming pool in the basement of the famous skyscraper ,” Gerry recalls . “ This was one of three gyms we built for the client , but this one was particularly difficult because we had to dig down several feet into solid Manhattan granite while being extremely cautious of water springs .
