Our History & Future

Laying Foundations
& Building On Dreams

Choate Construction Company was founded in 1989, in a basement, as our nation’s economy headed into recession. Construction projects were few and far between, our employee roster small, and our “fleet” just one old truck.

What might have looked like insanity to the world, to us felt like a mission: to learn, to grow, to forge relationships, to build – not just buildings but essential parts within ourselves, our team, and our community.

We worked long hours. We tackled jobs other companies wouldn’t. We took on projects from diverse industries. We delivered on our promises. We laid a solid foundation.

MOST IMPORTANTLY… The foundation we established has given us the rare opportunity to build structures beyond our wildest dreams. To truly connect and partner with clients in ways that add value – to both their projects and their bottom lines. To be given the chance to build families, businesses, communities, lifelong relationships – and our ever-growing family of employee-owners.
