EXPLORE The McCourt Story

It all started with a dream. In 1893, John McCourt left his job at Boston Gas to launch his own business, “The John McCourt Company.” That decision changed the trajectory of the McCourt family, and today, our projects stand as a testament to our unwavering commitment to building the infrastructure of New England and beyond. Rooted in safety, pride, and quality, we continue to push the boundaries of modern construction while staying true to the core values that have guided us from the very beginning.

At McCourt, our people are the heart of our success. We invest in and support each team member, fostering a culture where being valued inspires loyalty. The strong relationships we’ve built—with our employees, clients, and communities—have driven our continued growth.

As we look toward the future, we remain dedicated to training, mentoring, and empowering the next generation of civil construction professionals. Today's work is not just about building infrastructure—it’s about making a lasting impact. With 132 years behind us and many more ahead, McCourt Construction is ready to continue shaping the future with passion, expertise, and integrity.
