Interstate Construction Corporation

Jim Sideris was the sole proprietor of the commercial construction company Interstate Construction Corporation (ICC) when he landed a five million dollars hotel construction assignment. As the company's founder, president, and owner, he made a promise to complete the project in ten months, but finished it in just nine.

This massive project’s success, along with Sideris’ decades of experience and reputation in the construction space, attracted many more clients to his company.

Today, ICC is a leading and well-respected construction company in the hospitality industry, relied upon by long-established hotel chains to handle their new construction projects. Owners can always vouch for Sideris’ dedication and ability to ensure his team and subcontractors complete the project on time and within budget. It currently has more than 14 hotels under contract, nine of which are under-construction projects from leading franchisees.

Focusing on integrity and transparency, ICC keeps clients updated on the status of their projects and always goes the extra mile to ensure timely delivery. It has built a solid network of contractors and vendors that allows it to quickly procure materials, like electrical panels and transformers with a long lead time, ensuring on-time completion of projects.

“I have resources and contacts for securing the products necessary to meet a timely schedule and eliminate the possibility of delays, even in the current scenario of supply chain shortage,” says Sideris.

He regularly visits the construction sites to ensure everything goes as planned and remains available 24/7/365 to support clients and address their concerns.

“Our knowledge, modesty, and ability to deliver on our promise have made us the fastest growing company in the space. We have experienced a substantial growth coming out of COVID-19 with around 1700 percent increase in revenue,” says Sideris.

Most of the projects ICC receives come from referrals. The company also participates in bidding processes to win contracts. Before submitting a bid, it conducts due diligence, estimates costs, and finds the best approach for clients to save money.

After winning the contract or receiving the project through recommendation, the building process often begins with a consultation, where ICC’s experts work with clients to understand their specific requirements. Its professional estimators then provide an accurate cost estimate for the project, taking into consideration the structure’s square footage, materials needed for construction, and other aspects that impact construction costs. Once the client approves the cost estimate, ICC’s construction experts collaborate with them to develop a detailed construction plan that outlines the project’s timeline and budget. It works with their design team, architects, and engineers to come up with solutions that help them accomplish the goal and save money. It also makes necessary revisions to the plan if necessary.

ICC operates across the U.S and employs local contractors and onsite managers to oversee projects in different regions. These professionals are familiar with the building practices and regulations specific to their area, ensuring that structures are built to withstand any natural disasters or climatic conditions. For example, contractors in California are well-versed in earthquake-resistant building codes, while those in Florida are experienced in designing structures that can withstand hurricanes. By employing locals, ICC can effectively meet the needs of clients in each region.

ICC employs field supervision crew such as carpenters and electricians who have years of experience in the building trades. They are skilled in directing subcontractors to ensure that the job is done well according to the plan. ICC's employees have a minimum of five years' experience, with many over 35 years of professional background.

With a focus on delivering high-quality results and providing personal attention to each client, ICC completes projects on time and within budget, while meeting the unique needs of each client.
