Wdg Construction Group, Inc.

Description

For Mike Wyman, a devastating fire that gutted the family home during his teen-age years laid the foundation for a rewarding career in construction.The 41-year-old Wyman climbed from carpenter to become a leader of projects at two of the city's largest commercial developers before launching his own company in 2005.WDG Construction Group Incorporated on West Morris Street downtown has since grown into a firm that expects to top $30 million in revenue next year - double this year's figure.The rapid growth can be attributed to the contacts Wyman has made in his nearly 20-year career and a willingness to embrace out-of-state projects - perhaps most notably, building the headquarters of the controversial Blackwater USA security provider in Charlotte, N.C.But his late father, a small residential contractor, and the experience of helping him rebuild their house may be the real motive for success."I spent every night after school building it back up," he recalled. "To create something from your own hands was pretty cool."These days, he's busy creating a company that boasts nearly 30 employees, including a director of business development hired about a month ago to generate new clientele.WDG is a general contractor and construction manager.Even so, he's not about to alter his code of conduct that stresses completing projects on time. If necessary, Wyman even will go so far as to spend his fee to finish in a timely fashion, he said."Mike will perform exactly as he promises," Armstrong said. "His schedule is very dependable. He's basically all the things you want in a contractor."The philosophy is serving him well, said Alan Armstrong, an owner's representative who operates MR Armstrong Incorporated Armstrong came to know Wyman as he climbed the ranks at previous jobs and continues to contract with him.The two currently are teaming on the Independent Residential Living of Central Indiana Incorporated offices at East 56th Street and Keystone Avenue and just finished MedTech College in Greenwood.
