ULTIMATE PARTNER Profile Kipcon, Inc.

Courtesy CAI-NJ.

3 0 years ago, I started Kipcon based on a dream; one that I always had of owning my very own engineering firm. My passion for engineering was realized in my high school technical drawing classes. This passion shortly transformed into a goal that was the cause of nearly every action I took. While studying engineering at Tulane University, I learned that a “kip” is a unit of force equivalent to 1,000 pounds. At that moment, my compa- ny’s name was born as Kip Consulting, or Kipcon. After receiving my MBA from Rutgers, I was finally prepared to deviate from my entry-level job and start my firm. Over the years, Kipcon has steadily grown and made a name for itself as one of the region’s leading engineering consulting firms specializing in community associations. As the President of Kipcon, my role is to lead the orga- nization in providing cutting edge engineering services to

the industry. These services include all types of engineer- ing design services, Reserve Studies, Transition Studies, condition assessments, litigation support and much more. However, a company is only as great as the people that make it run. Passionate employees including Professional Engineers, architects, certified inspectors and Reserve Specialists allow Kipcon to formulate the best solution for each client. Providing the bare minimum is not in the interest of Kipcon. We strive to constantly improve and remain on the cutting edge regarding all of our services. We view capital replacements as an opportunity for capital improvement. Whether this is accomplished by the use of low mainte- nance materials or high efficiency equipment, the goal is always to evaluate aesthetics along with function and long term costs.
