Cranshaw is a 80-person general contracting and construction management company founded in 1983. We are located in Newton Lower Falls, Massachusetts. We have completed over $1 Billion dollars of commercial, multi-family, retail, senior housing, hospitality, industrial and medical work in the past 10 years alone. Approximately 30-50% of our work comes from our parent company National Development and the remaining from other third party developers and institutional clients. Our diversity of project types, ability to work in a diverse array of project types and building methods, and experience in urban as well as suburban locations provide Cranshaw with a stable and steady pipeline.
Our experience working hand in hand with our development and institutional partners provides us with a unique insight into the processes and goals of ownership. Cranshaw’s expertise in pre-construction management and estimating also contribute to our growing success. We were recently listed as the 9th largest general contractor in Massachusetts in the Boston Business Journal’s 2018 survey.
Currently, we have two openings in our Estimating/Preconstruction department. If you qualify and are interested, please send a cover letter and resume to Andrew Bisbee at abisbee@cranshaw.com.
