Wise Construction Corporation
Founded in 1984 by John Wise, Wise Construction Corporation has established itself as a leading construction manager in the Boston, Massachusetts area. Originally launched as a carpentry and general contracting business, the firm quickly became one of the largest framing operations in the state, employing up to 100 carpenters. By the mid-1990s, Wise Construction shifted its focus toward managing full-service construction projects, specializing in complex, occupied space renovations that enable organizations to remain fully operational throughout the construction process. Today, Wise Construction is particularly active in the science and technology, healthcare, and institutional sectors. The company’s long-standing relationships with clients and its expertise in delivering projects under challenging logistical conditions are key aspects of its operating model.
