We don't meet
the standard.
We set it.
Veteran-owned general contractor in Syracuse, New York. Since 2010 we have run construction, excavation, demolition, and grounds work on VA medical centers, national cemeteries, reserve centers, and FAA facilities — sites that stay open while we build.
A grounds crew that
became a contractor
Industry Standard started as a grounds maintenance company on Army bases and national cemeteries — unusual ground for a general contractor, and the reason our work looks the way it does. Cemeteries have to be right every day, not just at final inspection.
Three generations of military service run through this company, back to a Marine outpost in the Iraqi desert. Today we hold prime contracts and teaming agreements across New York State.

Six lines of work, one contractor
General Construction
General construction for government agencies, prime contractors, and commercial facilities. Industry Standard USA holds prime contracts and works teaming and subcontracting arrangements with larger and smaller firms. Scope runs from single-trade work packages through full sitework and building projects on active federal campuses.
Detail
Excavation & Sitework
Site-work excavation, land clearing, utility trenching, excavation and grading, parking lot installation, and installation of underground pipe and structures. Industry Standard USA is an HDPE supplier and installer. Difficult access, variable soil conditions, and hard-to-excavate material are routine — the site is delivered construction-ready.
Detail
Demolition
Industrial, commercial, and building demolition performed safely on occupied and active sites. Industry Standard USA handles structural demolition, interior strip-out, and complete debris removal, with the sequencing and site control required to work on federal campuses that stay open during construction.
Detail
Trucking & Hauling
Company trucking resources for debris removal from the site and delivery of construction material and aggregate on-site. Hauling capacity is scheduled against the crew's own production, so excavation and demolition work is not held up waiting on an outside carrier.
Detail
Facility & Grounds Maintenance
Grounds maintenance, janitorial, window washing, and tree removal for government and commercial facilities. Industry Standard USA maintains military reserve centers, VA hospitals, and national cemeteries — grounds that are held to a standard most commercial properties never face.
Detail
Snow & Ice Removal
Seasonal snow and ice removal for government and commercial facilities that cannot close. Industry Standard USA plans routes and priorities before the season starts so lots, walks, and access drives clear in the order operations actually need them.

Sites that don't get to close
A hospital campus, a national cemetery, an active airfield. These are places where the work has to happen around people who are already there, on a schedule that was set before we arrived, to a standard somebody signs their name to.
That is the whole company. It is also why we started as a grounds maintenance contractor on Army bases and national cemeteries before we ever poured a sidewalk.
Dept. of Veterans Affairs
Sitework, parking expansion, sidewalk and roadway, storm repairs, and grounds at VA medical centers including Montrose and Syracuse.
National Cemetery Administration
Construction, landscaping, trimming, and headstone work at Long Island, Massachusetts, and Western New York national cemeteries.
Federal Aviation Administration
Runway vegetation management at JFK International Airport.
Military Reserve Centers
Grounds and facility maintenance — the work the company was built on before it expanded into general construction.
Prime Contractors
Multi-year teaming agreements and subcontract packages. Our SDVOSB and DBE status helps a prime meet its small business goals.
Commercial Facilities
Property and grounds maintenance, snow and ice removal, and construction for commercial clients across Central New York.
