What Murphy Brothers Contracting does

Murphy Brothers Contracting is a privately held, family-owned full-service construction firm headquartered at 416 Waverly Avenue, Mamaroneck, NY, founded in 1979 by brothers Chris Murphy and Sean Murphy. The company serves the Westchester County (NY), lower Hudson Valley (NY), and Southern Fairfield County (CT) markets, delivering luxury custom homes, whole-home renovations, historical restorations, private-club construction, commercial build-outs and adaptive reuse, mid-rise multifamily, and specialized equestrian facilities. Project management is delivered in-house from design through permitting and construction, eliminating third-party project managers for the client.

The technical capability base spans conventional high-end construction plus energy-efficient and specialty building methods, including LEED for Homes (first certified single-family LEED project in Westchester County), Passive House construction (Harrison Playhouse Lofts, first FitWel-certified building in Westchester County), Insulated Concrete Form (ICF) construction (Shore Road, HERS Index 27 with photovoltaics), and NYSERDA-aligned all-electric commercial buildings (Mamaroneck Self Storage, 50%+ more efficient than code). Documented specialized work includes subterranean pool engineering (forty-five foot indoor lap pool eight feet below existing foundation with underpinning and dewatering) and historical restoration projects recognized by the Connecticut Preservation Office. Licensed in NY (WC-00337-H87) and CT (NHC.0003901, HIC.0573446).

The business model is project-based contracting with high-net-worth homeowners, private clubs, commercial property owners, architects, and designers. Revenue is generated through one-time project contracts (residential $5-7M scale remodels referenced; commercial projects over $1M); pricing is scope-specific with no public pricing tiers. Go-to-market relies on a portfolio website, organic social (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), architect/designer referral partnerships, industry awards as credibility signals, and a private-consultation request channel. The current leadership team spans two generations of Murphys alongside a COO, CFO, two Senior Project Managers, additional Project Managers, and an Estimator.

Broad incumbents

• Shawmut Design and Construction: National full-service construction manager with a strong commercial-build, hospitality, and institutional renovation practice that overlaps with Murphy Brothers' commercial and private-club work, but at much larger scale and broader geography.
• Whiting-Turner Contracting Company: Large national general contractor with a strong Mid-Atlantic/Northeast commercial and multifamily practice. Comparable in executing mid-rise commercial and institutional projects similar to Murphy Brothers' club and multifamily work, but at substantially larger scale.
• Structure Tone: National commercial interior and building contractor with a significant New York tri-state presence serving corporate, hospitality, and institutional clients. Comparable on commercial build-outs, adaptive reuse, and occupied-facility construction.
• Clark Construction Group: One of the largest U.S. commercial contractors, with active work in Mid-Atlantic/Northeast commercial, hospitality, and multifamily markets. Comparable on commercial GC execution, but operates at a scale and complexity far beyond Murphy Brothers.
• Gilbane Building Company: Large, family-founded national construction manager with a Northeast office serving commercial, institutional, and residential clients. Comparable in family-business heritage and breadth of project types, though at far greater scale.
