With around 40 years of combined experience, LoDuca is a well-qualified, family owned business that keeps ahead of the game. Here we talk to Associate Project Manager Salvatore Gulemmo about LoDuca and how it operates. oDuca Associates Inc. has a rich tapestry of experience in the private and public construction industry. With its many years as a general contractor in the sector, LoDuca converts dull projects into excellent pieces of art. Keeping the client’s vision in mind, LoDuca streamlines its intelligent, innovative, and practical minds into every intricate piece that it creates. Associate Project Manager Salvatore Gulemmo says, “Innovation is oxygen.” To LoDuca, revolution and modernization is everything. It likes to be inventive as it experiments with colour, structure, and sustainability. Salvatore tells us, “We have learned that there is a time and place to reinvent the wheel and be creative. We also know there is a time and place to follow Industry standards. We understand that there is no end to aspirations. Sometimes following a lead gets you to where you need to go and innovating off of that helps you stand out.” By working to an agreed schedule, LoDuca gets everything done within a defined window of time to satisfy and empower clients. The fact that LoDuca has continued to succeed, even throughout the pandemic, simply shows that it has a lot of valuable connections due to its fantastic nature. It builds long-lasting relationships with suppliers and vendors, as well as with its clients. Salvatore admits, “Working on Long Island and NYC can prove to be difficult from a logistic standpoint. We have a lot of islands and private communities, and we deal with a lot of regulations and insurances for the city. We always need to be ahead of material drop logistics and time of day work stoppages which can be cumbersome in our area. When suppliers and vendors want to work with us, we know that’s a big advantage for that aspect of challenges.” Now that the pandemic has begun to ease off, LoDuca sees itself flourishing from its recent reorganizing and rebranding. It is now rapidly growing in size and is looking forward to what is to come in the near and distant future. LoDuca understands how crucial it is to be ever evolving and client- focused. “Doing it right trumps everything. We never sacrifice the quality of craftsmanship. We understand that challenges make us better and we own those challenges and solve them. Learning is powerful and we never let lessons go to waste. We take them and apply them and that is why our skill in completing jobs that most companies are afraid to work on have spotlighted our company. It has been shown through our longevity that skill and ability of fine detail are never relinquished,” Salvatore concludes. LoDuca creates bespoke, fresh, and crisp designs that are executed brilliantly. With tenacity, precision, and a dedicated team of associates and creators, this construction firm is impacting the industry with exquisite taste and timeless execution.
