What led the founders to begin their journey in the industry?

With over 30 years of construction industry experience, Eric and Gino, our founders, embody a rich legacy rooted in Italian craftsmanship. Growing up in a family of contractors, their journey from sweeping job site floors to becoming supervisors, estimators, and ultimately owners, has given them a comprehensive insight into the construction process from start to finish. Their passion, inherited from generations before, fueled the creation of their own company. As hands-on owners, they infuse every project with unmatched craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail, building a foundation of trust and excellence with each client.

Who is the Structure Team?

Our Project Managers and Foremen, echoing the rise of our founders, Eric and Gino, from laborers to leaders, bring critical construction experience to every project. Their skill in interpreting architectural, MEP, and structural plans ensures precise execution of every design detail. We prioritize quality, safety, and organization on every site, reflecting our professionalism and commitment to efficiency. This comprehensive approach boosts operational effectiveness, aligns with our core values of quality, safety, and respect, and surpasses our clients’ expectations.

What makes Structure a boutique firm?

A boutique General Contracting firm like Structure excels by offering services that are custom-tailored to each client’s specific needs, setting us apart from other, one-size-fits-all contractors. Defined by a focus on personalized attention, boutique firms ensure that each project is met with a unique approach, guaranteeing meticulous care and a high level of detail. This model promotes exceptional flexibility and swift adaptation to any changes or challenges that arise during the construction process. The defining features of a boutique contractor—dedication to excellence, the ability to build strong, personalized client relationships, and the agility to innovate—result in a superior construction experience that other firms struggle to match.

What advantages does your In-House Millwork Studio offer?

Our Brooklyn-based In-House Millwork Studio exemplifies our commitment to top-tier, Made-in-NYC millwork without third-party dependency. By managing the entire process—from design to installation—we ensure unparalleled quality and coordination. This model allows for custom designs and finishes, enhancing unique architectural details. Our in-house approach streamlines operations, enhancing both accuracy and aesthetics, making our studio a key contributor to our projects’ excellence and uniqueness. This dedication to in-house production underscores our commitment to innovation, quality, and the significant impact of our millwork.

When working on projects within co-ops, how do you handle the complexities of dealing with management companies, shareholders, building staff, residents, and the building superintendent?

Our method for co-op projects emphasizes clear communication, precise coordination, and community respect, drawing on years of experience. We consult closely with co-op boards and work with building staff to reduce disruptions for residents, adhering strictly to regulations for timely project completion. Our commitment includes thorough cleanups and direct follow-ups, reinforcing our reliability. This efficient approach allows us to skillfully handle co-op project complexities, ensuring satisfactory and on-schedule completions. 

After my project is finished and I find myself needing more help or have questions, how do you handle it differently from other companies? Can I reach out to you at that point?

Our commitment extends beyond project completion without pushing service contracts, unlike others. We value long-term relationships and offer continued support. From the start, our co-founder, Eric, gives clients his personal cell phone number for direct access during and after the project for any queries or future discussions. Our practice emphasizes transparency, genuine care, and prioritizing your needs, aiming to be trusted advisors rather than just contractors. This approach of personal access and avoiding service contract sales underscores our dedication to your satisfaction and the enduring success of your endeavors, reflecting our deeply personal commitment to our clients.
