One contract.
Construction and millwork.

DKT Contractors LLC is an MBE-certified general contractor and architectural millwork fabricator serving public agencies and institutional clients across New York and, increasingly, New Jersey.

Founded in 2014, DKT pairs general construction with in-house 5-axis CNC millwork for true single-source delivery, reducing coordination risk and controlling schedule and cost.

We are scaling from a word-of-mouth business toward a $20M, systems-driven public-sector contractor by 2029.

N06Problem / opportunities

Too many hands
on one project.

Public agencies and institutions face fragmented coordination across multiple trades, schedule delays, and inconsistent execution quality.

MTANYCEDCCUNYNYPANYC public schoolsColumbia UniversityHospital systems

The problemFragmented coordination across multiple trades leads to schedule delays and inconsistent execution quality.

Who it affectsProject owners, facilities teams, and end users at public agencies and institutions.

ImpactCost overruns, missed milestones, and compliance risk.

Our solutionSingle-source delivery that combines general construction with in-house CNC millwork — and, soon, wood powder coating — to reduce coordination risk and improve schedule and quality control.

N07Our competitive advantage

Why owners pick DKT.

Competitors	What they offer	Why we are better
Traditional general contractors	Subcontract millwork and finish carpentry to third parties	DKT self-performs CNC millwork in-house: tighter quality control, faster turnaround, single point of accountability
Standalone millwork / fabrication shops	Custom casework and fabrication only; no construction services	DKT delivers construction and millwork under one MBE-certified contract, reducing coordination risk
Large non-MBE general contractors	Full construction services without supplier-diversity credentials	NYS/NYC/PANYNJ MBE certification supports agency diversity goals, paired with an agile, client-centered team and a planned powder-coat finishing line

What the cohort
changed in how we run.

Formal financial reporting and SMART goal-setting

Disciplined reporting and measurable goals support bonding readiness and lender conversations.

A documented growth plan tied to milestones

A three-year plan with dated milestones (Yonkers facility, bonding capacity, revenue targets) replaces informal goals.

Strategic frameworks sharpen positioning

These tools clarified DKT’s public-sector strategy.
