Shawmut Design and Construction is a national construction management firm with offices in Boston, New York, Providence, Las Vegas, New Haven, Los Angeles, and West Springfield that builds exciting projects from coast-to-coast. Our main objective is delivering exceptional, personalized service to our clients. We accomplish this by truly listening to our clients’ goals and concerns as well as implementing comprehensive tools and services. Our unique business model allows our project teams to better service our clients by focusing their specialized expertise within one of the following areas: academic, commercial, corporate interiors, cultural and historic preservation, healthcare and life sciences, hotels, gaming, restaurants, retail, spas and healthclubs, and sports venues. This approach also has allowed us to diversify as a company, attract the best people, and cultivate a team of expert project executives, project managers, superintendents, and estimators.

100% employee-owned company
Shawmut is 100% employee-owned which means each and every employee has a vested interest in the success of the company. It also means employees get to reap the financial benefits of being a part owner through the Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). The more Shawmut grows, the more the ESOP pool grows – which translates into more profitability for each staff member.

But we aren’t the only ones who benefit from ESOP—our clients do too. Think about it, most clients like to work directly with an owner because of the personalized service and a feeling of confidence that things will get done. Since each Shawmut employee is essentially considered an owner, our clients know that no matter who they deal with, each person will do their part to make every project a great success.
