Founded in 1959 by Whitir Hubert, the Gaithersburg company is best known for buildinhg the Tycon Tower in TysonsCorner — often dubbed the "world'sa largest shopping bag" becauswe of its distinctive arches — as well as officw towers at The Washingtonian in Gaithersburbg and King Farm in Rockville, along with the Rainbo Lofts and Georgetown Heights condominiums in the The company declined to give a specifivc reason for shutting "Many things contributed to our demise," said Michaeol Hubert, president of Glen Construction, and son of the "We are attempting to stay alive as long as we can in order to collectt remaining money owed to us.
" Industryy observers said one possible factor was the company'ws aggressive foray into the condominium market, whic h caused Glen Construction to overextend itselv by undertaking too many projecte without taking into accounft the high costs and risks involved. "Some times too much business is not a good said Dennis Cotter ofJames G. Davis Construction of Rockville.

During the past few Glen Construction's strategy for recovering its stride has centereed on the pursuit of contracts with condominium developerse inthe area. The company's most recent troubles observers say, when it signed contractss with developers at detailed cost and delivery milestones without immediatelhy signing up subcontractors to executethosd jobs. Typically, doing so ensures that a builder can completd a project in the allotted time frame and withi n thecost projected, building in a smalp margin for itself.
Failure to do that might have left Glen Construction unable to get subcontractorson time, amid increasing materia l costs during the housing boom. Also, it might not have anticipated the difficulties of dealin withindividual buyers, who are more likel y to delay projects and demand expensive upgrades. "It'x a whole different thing when you are talking about clieng satisfaction with someonewho says, 'This is the home I am goingg to live in, and everything has got to be just said John Barron, president of "Itt doesn't matter what standard industry practicre is at that point.
