General Contracting Takes Top Honor at Family-Owned Business Awards

SAN CLEMENTE, CA / ACCESS Newswire / July 2, 2025 / Consolidated Contracting, a leading commercial general contractor, is proud to announce that it was recently honored with the prestigious Family-Owned Business Award by the Orange County Business Journal for medium-size companies. This recognition celebrates the company's commitment to excellence, strong client relationships, and deep-rooted family values.

In accepting this award, founder and president/CEO, Tony Elias-Calles, credits Consolidated's success to God's provision, employees, and the trust and loyalty of its clients.

"We are deeply humbled and grateful for this recognition," said Elias-Calles. "Our faith has been the cornerstone of our business, guiding us through every challenge and triumph. We owe our success to relying on God to plan our steps, to our dedicated employees, and to the incredible relationships we've built with our clients and subcontractors over the years."

He followed by quoting a Bible verse, Proverbs 16:9, "The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps."

Founded in 1989, Consolidated Contracting has grown from a small business into a highly respected construction company. In 1993, Joseph Troya joined forces with his brother-in-law, Elias-Calles, and together they established a company grounded in integrity and driven by relationships. Their dedication to quality, family, and client loyalty has been integral to its longevity.

"At the heart of our approach is a simple but powerful belief: relationships matter. One of the key differentiators for us is making relationships a priority and genuinely caring about our clients," said Troya, principal and co-owner of Consolidated. "We truly care, and our clients appreciate that."

As Consolidated looks to the future, it remains committed to its core values, with the next generation proudly stepping forward. Today, Matt and Shane Elias-Calles, sons of Elias-Calles; Eric Flores, son-in-law of Troya; and Ryan Kraemer, nephew to both owners, are actively contributing to the company's continued success. Their involvement marks a powerful continuation of the multi-generational dream that Elias-Calles and Troya set in motion years ago.

"This award is not just a recognition of our past achievements, but a reflection on family and values," said Troya.

"We are excited about the future and the opportunities it holds for us as a family and company to make a positive impact," added Elias-Calles.
