Zlotnick Construction Inc.
Z
lotnick Construction Inc. is
a general contractor that of-
fers commercial, municipal,
industrial, retail and institutional
construction services.
Recent accomplishments:
We've recently completed a new,
ground-up Big Y Supermarket in
Marlborough
and won a bid
for an addi-
tional Big Y
in Derby ($7
million and $6
million projects,
respectively).
Concurrently,
we completed a
very aggressive
UConn dormi-
tory bathroom
remodel before
the start of the
new school year,
and began a beautiful interior fit-
out project in the new UConn Inno-
vation Partnership Building ( $1.4
million and $1 million, respectively).
Additionally, Greg Sr., Greg Jr. and
the rest of the team had to step up
and fill Peter Zlotnick's void as he
was deployed to the Middle East for
approximately 10 weeks.
How do you remain competitive in
the market?
This is a real challenge. Anyone
can reach the top of the ladder, but
staying there is the trick. Most of
the time, the motivating factor with
owners is money. One's reputation
is no doubt important when looking
to be invited to submit a proposal
and ultimately awarded a contract,
however, if you're 20 percent higher
than others, your reputation will
more than likely not get you the job.
We do our best to stay sharp with
our numbers and constantly strive
to find competitive companies
to partner with when presenting
clients with our proposals.
How can Connecticut improve its
family business environment?
Less regulations and more sincere
dialogue with all businesses — let us
do what we do best. The "red tape" is
getting out of control — it strangles
businesses and is forcing companies
and individuals to leave our state. We
all lose when this happens, and it's
happening more and more.
