Veteran construction leader brings decade of expertise in complex commercial, industrial, and medical builds

BEHKO is proud to announce that David Gross has joined the team as Senior Project Manager. With over 10 years of experience leading complex commercial construction projects across the Southeast, David brings a proven track record of disciplined execution, financial control, and stakeholder alignment that strengthens BEHKO’s capacity to deliver Bold Excellence on every project.

Experience That Delivers Results

David’s career has been defined by his ability to lead high-stakes projects from concept through completion. His expertise spans ground-up construction, design-build execution, and large-scale redevelopment initiatives across retail, industrial, multi-use, and medical sectors.

Prior to joining BEHKO, David served as Project Manager at WDS Construction, DooleyMack, and National Maintenance, where he built a reputation for driving predictable outcomes through transparent communication and proactive risk management.

“David’s approach to project management aligns perfectly with how we operate at BEHKO,” said Jordan Behringer, Managing Owner. “He understands that complex projects require more than just coordination—they require foresight, precision, and a commitment to delivering what was promised, on time and on budget.”

A Portfolio Built on Complexity

David’s project portfolio reflects the breadth and depth of his expertise:

  • Vine Works Trade Park (Johns Island, SC) – A historic restoration and adaptive reuse project transforming a vintage tomato packaging facility into a vibrant commercial hub
  • Greendock Spec Warehouse (North Charleston, SC) – Advanced industrial logistics facility
  • Dick’s Sporting Goods (Clarksburg, WV and Brandon, FL) – Large-format retail construction
  • Briarwood Mall Redevelopment (Ann Arbor, MI) – Complex adaptive reuse and commercial repositioning
  • Proesis Bio (Raleigh, NC) – Precision medical and biotech facility construction
  • Tractor Supply (Spring Lake, NC and Greeneville, TN) – Ground-up retail builds

Each project required not only technical skill but also the ability to navigate regulatory complexity, coordinate multiple stakeholders, and deliver results that exceeded expectations.

Education and Professional Foundation

David earned his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration from Millersville University, where he developed the financial acumen and strategic thinking that would become hallmarks of his project management approach.

The BEHKO Fit

“David embodies the values we’ve built BEHKO on,” said Raz Cojocaru, Managing Owner. “He doesn’t just manage projects—he owns outcomes. That sense of accountability and pride in the work is what separates good project managers from great ones.”

David’s addition to the BEHKO team comes at a pivotal time as the company continues to expand its presence across the Lowcountry, taking on increasingly complex commercial and industrial projects that demand the kind of expertise and leadership David brings.

Looking Ahead

As BEHKO continues to establish itself as the standard for design-build excellence in the Charleston region, David Gross will play a key role in ensuring that every project reflects the company’s commitment to Bold Excellence—from initial planning through final delivery.

“I’m excited to be part of a team that doesn’t settle for ‘good enough,'” David said. “BEHKO’s approach to construction—the emphasis on preparation, precision, and partnership—is exactly the kind of environment where complex projects succeed. I’m looking forward to contributing to that legacy.”

Welcome to BEHKO, David. Let’s build something bold.
