FASTEST GROWING COMPANIES | $75M AND ABOVE | 4TH PLACE
Shawmut Design and Construction is a fast-growing company that has also been recognized among the most innovative.
The 35-year-old, Boston-based, employee-owned firm has established a culture of ownership that promotes forward-thinking ideas and growth.
Over the past five years, Shawmut’s revenue has seen a nearly 50 percent increase. At the heart of Shawmut’s growth is not only innovation, but its dedicated employee base – growing from roughly 600 employees in 2011 to more than 1,240 in 2016.
“Each one of our more than 1,200 employees nationwide is charged with thinking and acting like owners – supporting our client-centric approach,” said Ron Simoneau, vice president and in charge of the Providence office. Features such as lean design and construction management, integrated project delivery, flexible work schedules, building information modeling, virtual reality, a diversity focus and paid family leave are all efforts to keep employees engaged and appreciated, which keeps Shawmut ahead of its game.
“Delivering on our promise to offer the best client experience in the industry is essential to who we are as a company. When over 80 percent of our business is repeat business, we think it’s working,” said Simoneau.
