What Newport Construction does

Newport Construction Corporation, founded in 2000 by Richard A DeFelice and headquartered at 145 Temple Street in Nashua, New Hampshire, is a privately held, full-service heavy highway civil construction firm that has operated continuously since incorporation and was acquired by VINCI Construction in June 2024. The company self-performs major roadway construction, highway construction, bridge construction, asphalt paving, milling, reclamation, grading, utility work, excavation, cement concrete work, granite curb installation, sidewalk construction, parking lot construction, and site reconstruction across the New England and broader Northeast United States, executing more than 1,000 projects annually through a field-sales and competitive bidding go-to-market.

Its operations are vertically integrated around three wholly-owned subsidiaries operating primarily out of Westford, Massachusetts: Newport Construction Corporation (core construction), Newport Aggregates (a granite quarry and aggregate recycling/processing operation located in the nation's oldest active granite quarry at 99 Ledge Road, 20 Commerce Way), and Newport Bituminous Products/Newport Materials (asphalt manufacturing facility opened in 2020). This co-located quarry and asphalt plant configuration enables the company to internalize materials supply and quality control from aggregate extraction through final paving.

Commercially, Newport generates revenue through bid-based government contracts (federal, state, local agencies; US Air Force Bases; municipalities) and direct private-sector contracts with developers and landowners. Pricing is not publicly disclosed and is contract-driven per project. The company maintains dedicated full-time paving, milling, reclaim, and grading crews; a 4-bay, 20,000 sq ft state-of-the-art fleet maintenance facility operating around the clock; a union labor workforce; and a 30+ year-tenured senior management team. Following the 2024 acquisition by VINCI Construction, the entire Newport team remains in place, and the company is positioned to expand its geographic footprint across the Northeast region under the VINCI umbrella.
