R.H. White Co., Inc.

When Ralph H. White founded our company in 1923, his business was based upon solving his customer’s problems. And today, more than 95 years later, that same commitment to meeting our customers’ construction, operation, and maintenance challenges—whether an emergency repair at 2 o’clock in the morning or a multimillion-dollar building construction—has established R.H. White as a Service Company.

Of course, this commitment to service is only possible because of our dedicated team of more than 500 employees, the key to our many enduring customer relationships. We keep our people safe, provide them with excellent training and benefits, and give them the opportunity to succeed and advance. In turn, their depth of experience allows us to tackle the complex projects that have cemented our reputation as one of the premier construction firms in New England.

We proudly serve a wide range of market sectors, including energy, water, industrial, corporate, and institutional, giving us the breadth of experience to satisfy our customers’ needs in any aspect of their operation. And, unlike most construction managers, we also have the ability to self-perform a significant portion of our work, giving us the ultimate control over a quality product.

Our reputation might get us an introduction to a new customer, but it is our commitment to service that keeps them coming back to us time and time again. We would welcome the opportunity to deliver on our promises for you.
