TUCON was founded in 1983 by Eric R. Wells as a base building Tilt-up Concrete General Contractor.Today , TUCON serves the development community performing all aspects of commercial construction ; including pre-construction services , design-build construction , base-building construction , tenant improvements , and at risk mission-critical facilities construction management.But the biggest change is that TUCON is no longer owned solely by Wells , but by the employees themselves , under the auspices of an Employee Stock Ownership Plan or ESOP.The key executives and I have worked for the past two years to develop a team of high level employees within the company , that could successfully manage TUCON into the future , states Wells , now Chairman.We feel confident these people are in place..
Due to tremendous growth over the past couple of years , TUCON expanded its corporate headquarters recently to over 35 , 000 square feet.Located just north of Dulles Airport in the Mercure Business Park in Dulles , Virginia , this facility accommodates the 130+ employees on staff.With the human resources and technical capabilities in place , TUCON is emerging as a major player in the general contracting business , including expansion of selective opportunities on the national level.
