History

Suffolk Construction Company was founded in 1982, by Edward Fish Sr. as an open-shop building contractor.[11] The following year, Fish's son, John F. Fish, was named CEO of the company. By 1987, the company had grown its annual revenues from $300 thousand to $66 million.[12] In 1989, the company expanded its operations to South Florida.[11]

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.[11] In 1999, Suffolk reached a larger deal with the carpentry union in which it agreed to use union workers throughout the New England area.[13]

According to Forbes, as of 2016, it is the [14]183rd largest private company in the U.S.
