Why Choose Ricci

Ricci Construction LLC, an award winning construction management and design/build firm, was founded in 1935 by Erminio Ricci.  The company is now managed by John E. Ricci, P.E., a third generation family member.

EXPERIENCE: Over 85 years of commercial construction experience in the New England area allows us to use our expertise and knowledge to tackle any construction project. From small tenant fit-ups to large scale commercial, industrial, and biotech projects, we can assist in all construction phases from budgets, to engineering to planning through to successful project completion.

DIVERSITY: We have modeled our business to handle all types of construction from Municipal to Commercial to Industrial to Healthcare/Biotech. This diversity has allowed us to remain the industry leader in progressive construction using Ricci’s in-house engineering and design team to assist in the up-front planning. Our construction staff will ensure timely completion while maintaining budget pricing.

ENERGY EFFICIENT BUILDINGS: We have designed and completed several “LEED” type of facilities. The facilities integrate geo-thermal heating/cooling systems, as well as solar technologies. Ricci has been incorporating “green” technologies in our buildings for several years. Let us bring our “thermally efficient” building designs to your next project.

FINANCIAL STABILITY: By being in business for over 85 years we have maintained a fiscal responsibility that allows us to pass along our philosophy to our customers to provide for the most economical building budgets in the industry. Our fiscal practices provide for a VERY low overhead to the project. This directly translates to lower project costs that benefit the Owner and their team.
