One of eight companies under the DiGeronimo Companies umbrella, which has roots as a self-perform contractor dating back to 1956, Independence Construction was formed to bring a new approach to Construction Management and full scope execution of large commercial and industrial construction projects. As part of the DiGeronimo Companies, Independence Construction brings an owner’s approach to projects through the company’s work as a developer. This means we think like an owner, act like an owner, and advocate like an owner, always challenging the team to do better. This gives us the ability to view a project holistically and understand how specific construction decisions tie to the big picture of a project.
