GCM History

The Vault

General Construction Management (GCM) was founded in 1991, with the vision of being one of the best general contractors / commercial construction management companies in the industry. Under the direction of owner Steve Blount, GCM has developed a second to none reputation for superior quality, prompt service, safe sites and client relationships built on a foundation of integrity and trust.

Due to the early success with companies such as McDonald's, GCM quickly expanded their services to include several other brands, such as Burger King, Wendy’s, Subway, Dunkin, Wawa and Chick-Fil-A. Additionally, we have expanded into the retail arena working with major brands, including Tanger Outlets.

GCM was recognized by McDonald's Philadelphia region as having the most successful project in 2018. This acknowledgement was given with consideration to key factors such as project cost, quality, and scheduling.

With our dedicated team of professionals, we have been able to exceed our clients' expectations in the most competitive markets of today. Our diverse experience, attention to detail and experienced construction crews help us to constantly expand our vision, improve our offerings and continue to produce superior commercial construction projects.

As we travel out of our area and into another, we try to utilize as many local trades as possible leaving the money in that community.

We are licensed to work in the following surrounding states: PA, DE, MD, NJ, NY, WV

We are also members of and affiliated with the ICSC, ABC and Our Local Chambers of Commerce

Vice President

In 2015 Jeremy left full-time Pastoral Ministry to join the GCM team. After spending time in the field with our experienced Superintendents, Jeremy filled the role of project manager for a period of two years, 2016-2017. In 2018 his focus shifted to give operational leadership to a Major Remodel Program consisting of 40+ projects throughout Central PA and New Jersey.

Currently, Jeremy is working to improve company policies and procedures, develop customer relationships, and strategically plan for GCM's continued growth.

Jeremy enjoys watching his kids play sports, spending time outdoors, especially on a four-wheeler, and fulfilling his calling in the community as a Pastor and Chaplain.

Business Development

Rick Trumper

Rick joined the GCM team in 2012 and brought with him 29 years of construction experience. He has been the leading supervisor on commercial projects for more than 20 years.

Development Administrator

Danny Tanner

Danny spent 11 years in Pastoral Ministry before diving into the Nurse Case Management industry as the Director of Operations with Aurora Case Management. He joined the GCM team in the Winter of 2022 to focus on processes and procedures that would help GCM to run more efficiently. Danny's attention to detail and creative solutions to any problem make him a valuable member of the team.

Estimator & Project Manager

Jon Ottey

In the Spring of 2018 Jon was thrown into the fire as we were in the middle of a very intense Major Remodel Program. Jon proved that he was a quick learner and was willing to do whatever was necessary to satisfy the customer's requests. Jon works tirelessly to make sure that our projects meet or exceed the customer's expectations.

Jon enjoys working around his home and spending time with his family.

Project Manager

Bill Coker

Bill joined the GCM team in the Fall of 2022, as we prepared for our next busy season of growth. Bill's past experiences and focus on the customer relationships set him apart.

Bill enjoys spending time with his family and riding motorcycles.

Project Manager

Javier Cedeno

Javier began his construction career as a laborer in 2001. He was quickly promoted to the role of Superintendent, and then Project Manager/Estimator. Javier brings experience in both design-build and bid-spec projects. He firmly believes the key to a successful project is by being a good listener and maintaining an open channel of communication.

Javier is married and enjoys time with family, friends, and weekend getaways.

Lead Estimator

Michelle Miller

GCM invited Michelle Miller to join the team in October of 2020 to fill a newly created Estimator position to facilitate an expansion into alternate market sectors. With over 25 years of experience in the commercial general contracting realm, she has managed and estimated multimillion-dollar projects.

In addition to aiding GCM with sustainable growth, Michelle’s position was also created to allow the project managers more time to focus on their active projects and less time estimating costs. She leads pre-construction budgeting and approximates costs for negotiated and competitive bid projects.

Michelle enjoys spending free time with her family. If they are not camping, she can usually be found at a youth sports event cheering for and snapping photos of one of her two sons, at an occasional scout outing, or hanging out around a backyard fire pit with friends.
