GCON

The Company: About GCON

GCON is a general contractor and full-service construction management firm delivering value-based services across the US. Known for forging dedicated partnerships and building highly specialized teams, GCON approaches every project as a solution driver, advancing customer goals and elevating the construction experience at every level. 

The firm’s expertise spans a broad range of sectors, including Construction Management, Design-Build, Mission Critical, Critical Environments, Aviation, Healthcare, Industrial, Education, Government, Retail, and Tenant Improvement. Over a 10-year span, GCON grew from $58M to $700M in revenue and 52 employees to 300, a more than 12X increase in revenue and nearly 6X increase in headcount.

The Situation: Limited Scalability

GCON was facing several operational challenges common to growing contractors. Operations ran in silos, with accounting, field data, and project management living in disconnected systems. Processes that should have been straightforward turned fragmented. The gaps got filled with manual workarounds and patched-together spreadsheets. The result was a team spending more time managing the workarounds than the work itself, which was hindering their ability to scale.

The Solution: CMiC Construction ERP

GCON implemented CMiC across both financial and project management functions, with a deliberate focus on building a platform configuration that would serve the company’s future state, on top of its needs at the time of deployment.
