Construction executives regroup

Wendy Mack is back.

The well-known local construction executive, longtime CFO of Lakewood Ranch-based DooleyMack Constructors, technically never left. But now she runs a new local firm: DM Constructors.

That new firm, moreover, marks the end of DooleyMack, which was once one of the largest commercial construction firms in the region. Founded in 1977 by Bill Dooley, the company had $104 million in annual sales and 130 employees as recently as 2010. Recent past projects include a $20 million renovation at the Van Wezel Performing Arts Hall in downtown Sarasota.
