Core Concepts Contracting Achieves Triple WBE Certification: Setting New Standards for Diversity in Construction

When Core Concepts Contracting Inc. was founded with Nicole LaMontagne at the helm, our commitment to excellence extended beyond delivering superior construction projects. Today, we're proud to announce a milestone that reinforces our position as a leader in diversity and inclusion within the construction industry: Core Concepts has achieved triple Woman-owned Business Enterprise (WBE) certification at the city, state, and national levels.

Triple Certification: Comprehensive Coverage for Every Project

Our newly awarded certifications span all levels of government and corporate requirements:

NYC Woman-owned Business Enterprise through NYC Small Business Services positions us to participate in New York City's robust supplier diversity programs. With billions in municipal contracts requiring WBE participation, this certification opens doors to transformative projects across all five boroughs.

New York State Woman Business Enterprise certification enables Core Concepts to participate in state-funded construction projects throughout New York. From educational facilities to transportation infrastructure, our team brings nearly two decades of commercial construction expertise to state initiatives.

Women's Business Enterprise National Council (WBENC) certification provides the highest level of recognition for woman-owned businesses nationwide. This prestigious designation connects us with Fortune 500 companies and major corporations seeking certified diverse suppliers for their construction needs.

Meeting Diversity Participation Requirements Across All Sectors

If your project includes diversity participation requirements, Core Concepts Contracting covers all of it. Our triple WBE certification eliminates complexity for project owners navigating municipal contracts, state-funded work, and corporate supplier diversity programs.

Charles Asaro, our Director of Pre-Construction, emphasizes how this certification enhances our pre-construction services: "When we're developing project budgets and timelines, owners can count on us to meet their diversity goals without compromising on quality or schedule. Our certifications are backed by 25+ years of construction management experience."

Whether you're managing a hospitality renovation in Manhattan, an educational facility expansion on Long Island, or a corporate headquarters project in the Hudson Valley, Core Concepts delivers the expertise and certification credentials your project demands.

Woman-Led Excellence from Project Inception to Completion

This triple certification validates what our clients have experienced firsthand: Core Concepts operates with a level of attention and accountability that sets us apart in the commercial construction landscape. With Nicole LaMontagne directly involved in every project alongside Directors Charles Asaro and Stephen Cuomo, our woman-led approach ensures transparent communication and superior quality assurance.

Our Construction Management services maintain this standard across all project phases, from initial scheduling and budgeting through final commissioning. The same principals-on-every-project philosophy that drives our Design/Build partnerships and General Contracting work now carries the additional credibility of comprehensive WBE certification.

Strengthening Our Foundation for Future Growth

As we continue our work on featured projects like the India Pentecostal Assembly renovation in Syosset, transforming a historic synagogue while preserving its character, this triple certification reinforces our ability to serve diverse communities and project types throughout our service area.

Our Blue Book listing and HIA-LI membership, combined with these WBE certifications, position Core Concepts as the comprehensive partner for commercial construction projects requiring both technical excellence and diversity compliance.

Building Success on Certified Excellence

Core Concepts Contracting's triple WBE certification represents more than regulatory compliance; it reflects our foundational commitment to bringing diverse leadership and proven expertise to every construction project. From Pre-Engineered Buildings to complex Construction Management assignments, our team delivers results that meet your technical specifications and diversity requirements.
