A Firm Built
By Operators
New Edge Contractors is a construction management firm headquartered in Glen Burnie, Maryland. Founded in 2022 by John Wiegand and Mike Clay, the firm runs on a two-discipline operating model: Construction Management, delivered through the EdgeControl™ Process, and Resource Management, delivered through the EdgeReady™ System. Every project is managed with an owner’s mindset, regardless of contract type.

The firm exists because most construction contractors are good at building or good at managing people, rarely both. New Edge was founded to do both, and to do them with an owner's mindset on every project.
The core belief.
New Edge builds long-term relationships through a construction-management operating ethos, whether the contract says CM, GC, or RM. Every completed project deepens trust and earns the next engagement. That's what brings owners and builders back.
How we grew.
New Edge was founded in 2022 by John Wiegand and Mike Clay. The leadership team carries more than 150 years of combined construction experience, drawn from ten elite national general contractors. That depth is what lets the firm run engagements at a level most four-year-old companies cannot.
We're not trying to be the biggest contractor. We're building a firm you call back. — New Edge leadership
Why two disciplines.
Construction Management delivers projects directly under CM and GC contracts, priced on an open book. Resource Management places embedded talent that runs the work with the same CM mindset. Both stand on the same senior team and the same operating standard.
Few firms offer both under one roof, with the same people behind each. For owners and builders, that means one accountable relationship — whether you need a project delivered or your own team strengthened.
What we don't do.
We don't sell the lowest bid. We don't lead with superlatives. We don't take on more work than the team can manage to the standard. We aren't trying to win every RFP. We're trying to win the right ones, deliver them on the open-book CM model, and earn the next one.
Geographic reality.
The firm is headquartered in Glen Burnie, MD, and active in eleven states. Reputation travels, and the work follows the team.
