Company Profile
I.C.R. Drywall, Inc. was founded in 1992 by
partners Tom Bond and John Gonzalez. The company operated as a partnership
until 1997 when it was incorporated. By this time, revenues had reached
approximately $4 million and were continuing to grow; the letters “I.C.R”
in the company name originally represented “Industrial, Commercial and
Residential” – the targeted customer base at the time. Today, the customer
base is totally commercial and industrial but the I.C.R. name was retained
for continuity.
In 1999, I.C.R. Drywall, Inc. became a union
company. This decision has proven to be a major propelling force for I.C.R.
Being a “union shop” brings bigger jobs for higher total value. Larger jobs mean
that workers stay on a job for a longer period of time thus cutting down on the
management headaches and inefficiencies of frequently moving from job to job and
the uncertainty of constantly seeking new work to keep busy.
In some ways larger jobs have a higher risk factor
than smaller jobs; but, with effective estimating, bidding, and job execution,
the rewards can be much greater. General contractors place higher demands on
I.C.R. for bidding and performance than is experienced with smaller projects,
however, the stability of longer term jobs combined with the well trained union
work force have made a significant difference in the company’s growth and
profits.
I.C.R. now employs a core work force of over 120
full and part-time union employees working on jobs averaging over $250,000. As
demand fluctuates, the union work force can be expanded or contracted relatively
easily with the union support and reserves. This takes much of the typical
hiring load off of the company - screening and training of workers is mostly
assumed by the union - though I.C.R. must still maintain standards in hiring
criteria to ensure they get the desired quality of worker. The unions provide
retirement plans, health care plans, and training programs.

New England to join the world on the explosively growing "Information

Suppliers, and Drywallers around the world will come here often to see what we are doing,
what we have planned, and where we will be purchasing materials and hiring personnel.
