Corna Kokosing Tops Business First Annual List

COLUMBUS, Ohio, July 30, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Corna Kokosing Construction Company ranks No. 1, according to Columbus Business First. The construction company tops the magazine's "A Different View" list, recognizing 2011 contract values for projects in central Ohio.

"You hear that chant 'we're number one' all the time, so to be able to say it is really exciting," said Mark Corna, president of Corna Kokosing Construction Company. "It is a tribute to all the people that work here."

Corna Kokosing also ranks second on the Business First list of commercial construction companies, jumping 10 spots since last year. The honor recognizes 2011 contract values of projects awarded to the firm's central Ohio office.

Despite one of the most challenging three-year spans in the history of the construction industry, Corna Kokosing's revenue improved to nearly $150 million annually – success Corna credits to the company's integrity.

"We always do the right thing," Corna said. "We emphasize to everyone that there is never a question of cutting a corner or doing something that would jeopardize our relationship with one of our clients."

Corna said building client relationships is just as vital to success as the structures Corna Kokosing builds each year.

"We are a multigenerational company and we want to make sure that we do everything possible to maintain our reputation, maintain our relationships and continue to serve our clients well into the future," Corna said.
