Milford Firm Named For Framingham's Fuller School Project

FRAMINGHAM, MA- The Fuller Middle School Project officially has a construction manager, and they're not coming from far.

Consigli Construction of Milford was unanimously voted as the school's construction manager by the School Building Committee at Monday night's meeting. The firm competed against two other firms for the job and was first chosen for recommendation by a pre-qualification subcommittee.

The firm was chosen for their proven track record of success on similar projects and their local appeal. "People who are working on the job live in the town and have a vested interest among us," said Michael Grilli, chair of the subcommittee that reviewed applicants.

Consigli has been based in Milford since 1905 and markets itself as a family-led business that has grown to one of the largest general contractors in the Northeast. Consigli has seven regional offices along the east coast from Maine to Washington, DC.

Consigli previously worked with Framingham State University on the construction of the university's North Hall. The new residence hall is seven stories tall and has 410 beds for students along with living spaces, common areas, lounges, bathrooms and kitchens on each floor. The firm also worked with the Cambridge School of Weston on the construction of the Garthwaite Center For Science and Art.

Project Manager Joel Seeley explained that Consigli will be a partner in the building process throughout all three phases. Consigli will also act as a guide for cost estimates, traffic concerns and construction logistics.

While no one representative from Consigli will be assigned to attend School Building Committee meetings, Seeley assured members that they would be interacting with various different people from the firm who will be attending meetings.
