Suffolk Construction Company stylized as Suffolk [4] is an American construction contracting company based in Boston, Massachusetts [5] with additional locations in California, Florida, Maine, New York and Texas. [6] [7] [8] The company is contracted for work in the aviation, commercial, education, healthcare, gaming, residential, mission critical, and government sectors. [9] [1] [10] Suffolk is the largest construction contractor in Massachusetts and one of the 20 largest in the country. [11] [9]
Suffolk Construction Company was founded in 1982, by Edward Fish Sr. as an open-shop building contractor. [12] Immediately thereafter, Fish seeded Suffolk with an $80,000 loan and transferred full leadership and management to his 23-year-old son, John F. Fish, who has led the company as president and CEO since its founding. [13]
By 1987, the company had grown its annual revenues from $300 thousand to $66 million. [14] In 1989, the company expanded its operations to South Florida. [12]
Suffolk reached an agreement with Boston's carpentry union in 1993, in which it agreed to use union workers in downtown Boston, but would remain non-union in other areas. [12] In 1999, Suffolk reached a larger deal with the carpentry union in which it agreed to use union workers throughout the New England area. [15]
In 2009, Suffolk acquired William A. Berry & Son, a large New England contractor that specialized in biomedical and healthcare construction. [9] Suffolk acquired the San Diego-based ROEL Construction in January 2011 in an effort to expand its growth in California. [16] [17]
In January 2016, the company was selected as general contractor for the $1.7 billion Wynn Resorts casino in Everett, Massachusetts. [18] In September 2016, the company held a ceremony in which they used virtual reality technology to "break ground" on their new headquarters project. [19] Suffolk was chosen as the general contractor for the General Electric's Boston headquarters building in December 2016. [20]
In 2018, Forbes reported that the company is the 148th largest private company in the U.S. [35] That same year, Suffolk was ranked 23rd on Engineering News-Record's "Top 400 Contractors" list. [36]
