W.T. Rich Company

Last Friday, we celebrated a significant milestone in the construction of the new Middleton Municipal Complex with the Topping-Off ceremony! This transformative project involves the redevelopment of a former golf course into a multi-functional municipal complex. The site will feature two state-of-the-art buildings: a public safety building, housing both a fire and police station, and a combined community/senior center with Town offices. Thank you to all the team members, partners, and community members who joined us to celebrate this exciting step forward. We’re proud to collaborate with the Town, PCA360 and Context Architecture • Boston to deliver a project that will serve the Middleton community for generations to come!

We’re thrilled to welcome Antonio Bassil, CMIT back to W.T. Rich as our new MEP Superintendent! Antonio began his journey with us in 2017 as a Co-op while pursuing his degree in Construction Management at Wentworth Institute of Technology. After graduating in 2018, he joined our team full-time as an APM/MEP Coordinator and contributed to projects such as Zervas Elementary, Kipp Academy High School, and Pentucket Middle High. Antonio will now be bringing his expertise to the Massport ATCT project team. 

We're thrilled to announce that the Pentucket Regional Middle High School project in West Newbury has been recognized as the Best K-12 Project by Engineering News-Record New England's Best Regional Projects Awards! This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible collaboration and dedication of our partners: The Vertex Companies LLC and DORE + WHITTIER. Together, we delivered a state-of-the-art educational facility that reflects innovation, quality, and a commitment to the Pentucket community. Check out the video to see highlights of this award-winning project! Congratulations to everyone who contributed to making this vision a reality. We are proud to celebrate this milestone with you!

We’re proud to celebrate a major milestone in the construction of the new Lawrence Police Headquarters with the Topping-Off ceremony! This 4-story, 64,000-square-foot facility will house critical police and public safety functions, including emergency dispatch services, a firing range, physical detention spaces, and much more. We're honored to collaborate with Context Architecture • Boston and CHA Consulting, Inc. to bring the City's vision to life. Thank you to all the team members, partners, and community members who joined us to celebrate this exciting step forward. We look forward to continuing the journey toward project completion!

Members of the W.T. Rich team recently attended the Procore Groundbreaking event in Denver, Colorado! The event provided valuable insights into the future of Procore Technologies and how advancements in construction technology can enhance efficiency across every stage of the construction process. Our team had the opportunity to meet with dozens of companies specializing in preconstruction, bidding, scheduling, project management, and analytics to explore ways to further improve our practices. We’re excited to apply these learnings to deliver even better results for our clients and partners. Thank you, Procore, for hosting such an inspiring and innovative event!

This Thanksgiving, we’re reflecting on the incredible relationships that make what we do possible. To our client partners and the communities we serve, thank you for your trust, collaboration, and support. And to our team, whose dedication drives our success every day, we are deeply grateful. Wishing everyone a joyful Thanksgiving filled with connection, gratitude, and celebration!

We’re excited to welcome Brodie Caizzi, who joins W.T. Rich with a diverse background in construction and civil engineering. Brodie previously worked as an Engineering Aide for the Town of Longmeadow, where he gained hands-on experience in construction job site observations, facility inspections, sewer structure assessments, and interpreting mapping and town records. Brodie will split his time between the Cambridge Fire Department Headquarters and Tobin School projects. We’re looking forward to the contributions he’ll bring to both teams.

We reached a major milestone at the Middleton Municipal Complex! Starlite Building Services and North & South Construction Services, LLC teamed up to set the final pre-fabricated wooden trusses for the project. This phase required meticulous pre-planning and seamless communication between the teams. Thanks to their flawless coordination and unwavering commitment to safety, this critical step was executed with precision. We’re proud of the progress being made and look forward to sharing more updates as the building continues to take shape. Great job to everyone involved!

We’re excited to welcome Diana Kasule as our new DEI Manager! Diana holds a bachelor’s degree in business management from the University of Massachusetts, Boston, focusing on Leadership & Organizational Change. With experience in DEI and HR roles at organizations like SharkNinja, Tufts Healthcare, and the Massachusetts Senate, where she served as HR Manager of DEI, Diana brings a proven track record of building inclusive cultures and driving meaningful engagement. Diana will be vital in advancing our diversity initiatives and supporting our project and corporate diversity goals.

We’re thrilled to share that we've been selected as the Construction Manager for The Community Group’s project in Lawrence, MA! This 53,660-square-foot K-8 school and childcare facility will be built on a 7-acre site, with existing structures demolished to make way for a brand-new campus. We’re excited to partner with The Community Group, QPD as OPM/Developer, and Finegold Alexander Architects to bring this vision to life!
