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, Texas and Virginia.[6][7][8][9][10] The company is contracted for work in the aviation, commercial, education, healthcare, gaming, residential, mission critical, and government sectors.[11][1][12] Suffolk is the largest construction contractor in Massachusetts and one of the 20 largest in the country.[13][11]

History

[edit]

Suffolk Construction Company was founded in 1982, by Edward Fish Sr. as an open-shop building contractor.[14] 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.[15]

By 1987, the company had grown its annual revenues from $300 thousand to $66 million.[16] In 1989, the company expanded its operations to South Florida.[14]

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.[14] In 1999, Suffolk reached a larger deal with the carpentry union in which it agreed to use union workers throughout the New England area.[17]

In 2009, Suffolk acquired William A. Berry & Son, a large New England contractor that specialized in biomedical and healthcare construction.[11] Suffolk acquired the San Diego–based ROEL Construction in January 2011 in an effort to expand its growth in California.[18][19]

In January 2016, the company was selected as general contractor for the $1.7 billion Wynn Resorts casino in Everett, Massachusetts.[20] In September 2016, the company held a ceremony in which they used virtual reality technology to "break ground" on their new headquarters project.[21] Suffolk was chosen as the general contractor for the General Electric's Boston headquarters building in December 2016.[22]
