About Colantonio

Since our founding by Chairman and CEO Fran Colantonio in 1978, we’ve carefully grown into a $75 million firm and become a proven leader in managing complex construction and renovation projects spanning the private and public sectors. Throughout, the cornerstone of our firm and our approach to doing business has been to build effective relationships by putting people first.

Through open communication and creative problem solving, our team is persistent, proactive, and resourceful in helping clients, designers, and subcontractors accomplish project goals. We earn our seat at the table by offering a team of highly experienced and deeply engaged industry professionals who share a long history of working together and a track record of exceeding client expectations.

What Our Clients Say

“When Fran [Colantonio] asked at the kickoff meeting what he could do for us, I asked him to treat this project like it was in his own back yard. That is exactly what Fran, John [Hobson] and their crew did, every step of the way. They were always mindful of the activity that surrounded the site and were extremely responsive to our concerns. We could not have asked for a better experience.”
