Eventually, he switched to the commercial construction industry working for a developer in the Fairfield county area. During that time he was responsible for building and developing commercial buildings all around the State of Connecticut.
As part of his business philosophy Bruce is flexible to adapt to changing markets. In response to economics of the early 1990’s he decided to include the construction of Custom Homes to the company’s portfolio. In the late 2000’s, he again had to adapt to the economy which prompted him to enter the municipal marketplace. Over the past few years more consulting services are being offered by the company and the future is to continue to be flexible.
