Ricci Construction

What Ricci Construction does

Ricci Construction, LLC is a full-service construction management, design/build, and general contracting firm headquartered in Newington, New Hampshire, founded in 1935 by Erminio Ricci and now in its third generation of family ownership under President John E. Ricci, P.E. The firm employs 11–50 staff and serves clients across the New England region in four primary verticals: municipal/government, commercial/industrial, healthcare, and biotechnology. Its revenue model is project-based, generating income through one-time general contracting and design/build contracts as well as professional-services construction management fees, with pricing structured per project via bid or quote. Approximately 50% of clients are repeat customers, and recent project-level evidence shows a track record of completing projects under budget and ahead of schedule (e.g., North Hampton Safety Complex delivered $250k under budget and three months ahead of plan).

The firm's core technical capability is an in-house engineering and architectural design team that supports early-phase planning, permitting, foundation/site plans, and conceptual-to-final architectural design, allowing integrated design/build delivery. It also delivers LEED-type energy-efficient buildings that integrate geo-thermal heating/cooling, solar technologies, closed-cell foam insulation, and R-zip wall panels. Pre-engineered building solutions are offered through approved-builder relationships with Steelway Building Systems, Ceco Building Systems, and Essex Structural Steel Co., Inc. Distribution is exclusively direct sales to enterprise and government clients in New England; no resellers or intermediary channels are used, and lead generation runs through the company website, LinkedIn presence, and relationship-based repeat business rather than paid marketing.

Notable named customers include Lonza Biologics, New England Bio Labs, Exeter Hospital, Wentworth-Douglass Hospital, Gorton's Seafood, High Liner Foods, SIG Sauer, Wöhner, and multiple New Hampshire municipalities (Portsmouth, Dover, Manchester, Jackson, North Hampton). The fourth generation of the family — Joseph Ricci — joined full-time as Project Manager in 2021, and Keegan Taylor was hired as Project Manager in 2025, indicating an active generational succession and capacity build-out, particularly into multi-family residential and adaptive-reuse work.
