Construction is a tough business, and staying around for a long time takes a certain set of skills. In the case of 111-year-old Clark Group, this not only means a lot of old-fashioned hard work, but also maintaining open communication with subcontractors and stakeholders, building trust with a steady stream of repeat clients and diversifying into many different sectors.
“What drives Clark is our diversity of capability,” says Steve Dell’Orto, Clark senior vice president in San Francisco. “We are deep in our expertise but also broad in our product type that we build. We build anything from high-rise office buildings and sports venues to student housing and academic buildings to large-scale health care projects, aviation and more.”
