W.T. Rich

1968:

W.T. Rich Company was founded by Walter T. Rich to provide construction services throughout the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Established on the cornerstones of honesty, transparency and integrity, W.T. Rich began its corporate life providing strictly general contracting services. Our reputation for always putting the owner first quickly spread, and our capabilities as a firm simultaneously took flight.

2003:

Jonathan Rich, Walter’s son and the firm’s CEO, and Brian Santos, President, took the strong foundation Walter created and catapulted the company into a new, modernized dimension.

Today:

W.T. Rich now serves as a leader in delivering MGL Chapter 149A projects with an outstanding track record across multiple sectors including K-12 schools, higher education, public safety, municipal, historic restoration, and life sciences. It is our commitment to operate under the same principles on which we were founded that has earned us an admirable reputation among owners, architects, engineers, and subcontractors.

Our Vision:

To be the best Construction Manager in the Massachusetts Public Building Sector. We will accomplish this by delivering exceptional construction management services, consistently exceeding expectations, and setting new standards in safety, quality, customer satisfaction, and employee engagement.
