The Principals
Robert Knox knows New York construction. With over 30 years of extensive experience in the construction industry, he is the kind of talent you want on the job. Having worked every type of construction job over his dynamic career – from being a Carpentry Forman and Field Superintendent to Project Manager and Vice President of Operations at a major Manhattan commercial construction company for the majority of his career – Robert Knox knows what goes into every step of any building project both on and off-site.
Joseph Rigazio is a business leader. A natural motivator and multitasker, he can take any type of complex project, simplify the challenges and turn it into a huge success. As a businessman, he is a foremost authority, anticipating every angle of a project and quickly understanding the optimum solutions. Dynamic and forward thinking, Joseph knows how to get projects done, and get them done right.
Philosophies of Our Partnership
Individually, both Joseph Rigazio and Robert Knox have become leaders in their respective fields, bringing innovation, professionalism and extensive insight into every aspect of every project over the course of their long, successful careers. Together, they create a powerful partnership of two highly skilled visionaries – a dynamic combination of Joe’s expertise and leadership in business development, marketing and sales and Bob’s extensive experience and forward-thinking vision in day-to-day construction operation and project management.
