Thriving on Challenge – continued


Despite the Corcoran Company’s growth, however, Corcoran doesn’t dwell on the volume of work. He keeps his focus on each individual project. “Our goal on every project is to surpass the expectations of the owners, architects and general contractors,” says Corcoran, who adds, “We do this by asking the right questions, listening well, and then giving our customers exactly what they want.”

Corcoran believes the strategies and attitudes of the leading designers and contractors has spawned a Renaissance period in commercial construction. “This industry is moving into unprecedented levels of quality and service. The way we’re building today is establishing methods and practices that this industry will use for generations.”

How far into the future is Corcoran looking? “What twists and turns are ahead for commercial construction is anybody’s guess. But I can see more projects with environmental concerns, like ‘green buildings,’ and increasing complexity to address health and technological concerns. Those are all areas where The Corcoran Company has already amassed a great deal of experience.”

Corcoran believes a company can never rest on its record. “This is such a dynamic industry.  We are always in a learning mode, forever honing our skills and constantly seeking creative solutions to every challenge.”  It’s a focus which translates into significant cost reductions and proactive problem-solving for the next generation of The Corcoran Company customers. “Today’s market demands that you’re in the game for the long haul,” says Corcoran.
