ABOUT GOLDEN STORM

Our Story

BUILT BY IRONWORKERS,
FOR BUILDERS

Golden Storm Construction Corp was founded in 2009 by Marcus Rivera, a third-generation ironworker who spent two decades erecting steel across New York City. After years of watching mid-rise developers struggle to find a steel contractor who could handle the full scope — from shop drawings through erection — Marcus built the company he wished had existed.

We started with a crew of six and a single project in Greenpoint. Today, Golden Storm employs over 45 people across our Ozone Park office and fabrication shop, and we've completed more than 85 projects across all five boroughs, ranging from 4-story residential additions to 20-floor mixed-use towers.

What hasn't changed is our focus: mid-rise New York City construction, done right, on time, and with the kind of craftsmanship that makes structural engineers and general contractors call us back project after project.

What Drives Us

OUR CORE VALUES

Quality Without Compromise

Every component we fabricate meets AISC standards. We never cut corners on material quality, weld inspection, or connection design.

Safety Above All

Our safety program is embedded in every aspect of our operation, from shop floor procedures to field erection protocols. Zero incidents is our standard.

Partnership Mentality

We treat every client as a long-term partner. Our success is measured by our clients' success — on-time delivery, on-budget performance, and buildings that stand for generations.

Engineered Efficiency

Our integrated fabrication-to-erection model eliminates the coordination gaps that cost developers time and money. One team, one contract, one point of accountability.
