We also support internship programs provided by local technical schools.” With the pandemic affecting businesses across the economy, Comstock Construction has managed to weather the worst of these effects by adapting protocols required to continue working and keeping workers safe, while also complying with the safety standards that owners are looking for and expecting. Koppang explains, “Although several projects were canceled and others stalled at the beginning of the pandemic, we have since resumed some projects with new projects also in the pipeline.” Looking forward, as the company approaches a century of doing business, Comstock Construction is eyeing organic growth, especially in the facilities management area it is now entering. “Facility services are a great opportunity for us to work with some owners we’ve built buildings for and continue that relationship,” says Koppang. “It’s a major priority for us right now and a tremendous opportunity for growth as well.” Despite angling for growth, the company does not want growth for growth’s sake. “We aren’t heavily focused on just chasing the top line,” Koppang avers, “we want it to be the right work as well. To work with the right people and maintain controlled growth because it leads to less of the ebbs and flows that can sometimes otherwise happen. So strategic growth is what we are more focused on.”
