A word from the founders:

We all spend countless hours at work, so we need our space to be comfortable, inspiring, and reminiscent of what our business is about. Our clients and employees see ICG in part through the environment we offer them when they walk through our front door.  The same applies to all businesses.  You look to your A&D team to guide you through those design decisions. We take great pride in making that vision a reality by managing the budget, schedule and quality of the projects we are entrusted to build. 

Leadership 

  • Steve J. Zuwala, President, LEED AP, Founder

Culture

A trusted name in construction for thirty years, ICG is an advocate for clients, always putting teamwork and quality of workmanship at the forefront of the organization. We pride ourselves on being a progressive company. Remaining in tune with what is important to our clients and the architectural and design community has always been a key component to our success. We also understand the importance of sustainability. ICG's co-founder and President is LEED accreditated, and our office is LEED CI Gold Certified.  As a result we are able to share our experience with clients seeking the same type of transformation for their companies.

Focus

ICG is signatory to the collective bargaining agreements for the laborers' union. Except for general labor and demolition, the construction on our projects is performed by subcontractors. Subcontracting enables us to focus on our skills as managers, maintain a competitive bid process, and select the ideal subcontractors to deliver the best value at the highest quality of construction. 

Safety

ICG has established an excellent safety record. We are continuously working with our insurance carrier and risk management consultant to maintain our safety program and favorable insurance rating.

Technology

ICG controls field and overhead costs through an integrated job cost system allowing management access to the most current job cost information. This enables us to turn around timely and accurate proposals and reporting. Our superintendents are equipped with the tools and technology to quickly resolve issues and be in constant contact with the entire team.
