GenCon Associates Inc., founded in 1979 by Marvin Wheeless, is a family-owned general contracting and construction management firm based in Newton, Alabama. The company initially focused on governmental contracting projects, but over the years it has significantly expanded its scope to include ecclesiastical, educational, healthcare, industrial, multi-family housing, and retail construction. With deep roots in the local community, GenCon prides itself on being a close-knit business that fosters strong relationships with clients and employees alike. Marvin Wheeless, after many years as a Post Architect at Fort Rucker, pursued his entrepreneurial dream, starting the firm in his backyard with the help of a friend. The business has grown to become a trusted name in construction services in Alabama and Florida, known for its integrity, expertise, and commitment to delivering high-quality projects. In 2010, the company relocated to its current office on Searcy Road, where it continues to operate under the leadership of Marvin's son, Jonathan Wheeless, and son-in-law, Erik Vogt, both of whom are dedicated to upholding the values instilled by Marvin. The company ethos centers on strong family values and a professional approach, ensuring the satisfaction of clients through dedicated workmanship and a focus on community.
