Build with Confidence
On Time. On Budget. Built Right.
With over 3 decades of experience, BLDG Construction delivers complex construction projects with confidence. As a developer minded construction company, we understand that every construction decision affects budgets, schedules, financing, and the long term value of the asset, not just the building itself.
As a wholly owned subsidiary of BLDG-UP, BLDG Construction, LLC serves as the company's dedicated construction management and general contracting company, combining an owner's perspective with disciplined execution from preconstruction through project completion.
Construction Problems Rarely Start All at Once. They Build Quietly.
Most construction problems do not begin in the field. They begin much earlier, during planning and design, when construction decisions are made without construction experience in the room. You can often feel them before they become obvious.
-
Drawings look complete, but questions keep coming.
-
Budgets no longer match the design.
-
Materials become difficult to procure on schedule.
-
Coordination gaps turn into change orders and delays.
-
Communication becomes inconsistent, and accountability feels less clear.
-
Small delays begin to build, making the schedule less certain.
-
Costs continue to move, but the budget becomes harder to understand.
-
Confidence in the project begins to fade, even though everyone says things are under control.
Nothing usually goes wrong overnight. Small issues quietly become expensive problems. Every delay reduces flexibility. Every unresolved issue adds pressure. Every missed decision makes recovery more difficult.
Construction Confidence
From Day One
When construction is guided by experienced leadership, the project feels steady from the beginning. Design decisions are reviewed with development and construction in mind. Budgets reflect real-world costs. Designs are refined to align with budgets, schedules, and actual constructability. Risks are identified while they can still be addressed, not after they become expensive.
​
As the project moves forward, communication stays clear, accountability is defined, and progress is visible. Instead of reacting to problems, issues are anticipated and addressed early so the project stays on track.
​
You move forward with confidence, knowing your project is being built with discipline, quality, and your investment in mind.When you succeed, we succeed.
Construction is in Our Roots
Construction is more than what we do. It is where we come from.
​
BLDG Construction was built on generations of builders, engineers, entrepreneurs, and developers who understand that quality work is earned one project at a time.
​
Founder Ben LoPiccolo grew up in a family of builders after his grandfather immigrated from Italy, bringing with him the values of craftsmanship, hard work, and pride in every detail. Ben began working in construction as a teenager, started his first business at sixteen, and has spent more than three decades building, renovating, and developing projects throughout the New York metropolitan area. Long before becoming a developer, he learned construction from the ground up with his hands in the field. Ben likes to say he knows buildings down to the last screw.
​
Partner and CFO Kevin Kansagra also comes from a construction family. His father founded a consulting engineering firm, where Kevin gained firsthand experience in mechanical systems, construction administration, and commercial real estate projects before building a career in investment banking and real estate finance.
​
Together, Ben and Kevin combine generations of construction knowledge with decades of development, finance, and execution experience. That perspective allows BLDG Construction to think beyond the building itself, understanding how every construction decision affects cost, schedule, financing, operations, and long-term asset value.
​
For us, construction is not simply a trade. It is our foundation.

Construction Becomes Clear
When the Right Team Is Leading
Every project begins with vision. Bringing that vision to life takes more than drawings and schedules. It takes experienced leadership, disciplined execution, and a team that understands how every construction decision affects the success of the entire project. When construction is clearly led, uncertainty begins to fade. You know where the project stands. Progress is visible. Budgets are managed. Decisions are made with purpose. Small issues are addressed before they become expensive problems. You become a more confident owner, developer, or institutional partner. Instead of managing the construction process, you have a trusted team managing it for you. Your focus stays on the success of the project while construction moves forward with quality, accountability, and steady progress. At BLDG Construction, our role is simple. Build the project the right way, protect your investment, and deliver a finished asset everyone is proud of. When you succeed, we succeed.
