127 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 9, ISSUE 12 In the realm of construction, you are only as good as your last project. Being able to build a portfolio that stands the test of time and demonstrates a creative edge is the key to moving one step beyond others in the field. Longevity is also the name of the game. For W&J Construction Corporation, staying in the construction race and landing the most sought-after contracts is what it has built its stellar reputation on. W&J is the oldest general contractor in Brevard County, set to celebrate its 58th anniversary in March of 2023. Formed in 1965 the company has moved from strength to strength and has been the driver behind high-profile projects including prominent buildings and launch complexes at the Kennedy Space Center as well as many of the exhibit buildings at the KSC Visitor Center. W&J Construction continues its aerospace work today by focusing its efforts on private industry projects in the area and has added many projects to its top-performing portfolio. Another key relationship W&J Construction has built and continuously fosters is with the county where it traces its roots; Brevard County. The construction company has built many municipal buildings within the county including fire stations, police stations, a courthouse, public works facilities, and community centers. It maintains close links with the county and the cities within and takes on projects to benefit its valued residents. Basing its business model on key pillars including building and maintaining strong relationships with its clients and hiring top talent and working diligently to retain its staff has led the construction firm to keep its competitive edge. Drawing its team from some of the top construction firms in the country, W&J Construction has been able to almost double in size from 17 employees to 38 in just the last 10 years alone. With such growth, strong relationships and top construction projects on the horizon, W+J Construction is certain to be a leader in the construction industry.
