Thoughtful innovation is at the core of what we deliver today and every day. We’re always ready to build on big thinking.

Our History

Decades of thoughtful innovation.
When Lee Kennedy Sr. founded the firm four decades ago, his mission was to improve the construction experience for clients and communities. With a background in architecture and field construction, Lee saw the opportunity to create a customer-centric company, which was revolutionary in the construction business. He had a passion for preserving and adapting Boston’s historic architecture and saw the potential in reusing outdating buildings and converting them to beautiful, useful spaces for his clients. He explored and experimented with technology as it evolved to change the way builders did their jobs. Today, his namesake company continues to build on the big thinking that founded the company. As one of the premier construction management firms on the East Coast, the Lee Kennedy name is synonymous with thoughtful innovation. We bring our heart and passion to every project and take on bold, complex challenges, putting talent and technology to the task every day. We build on big thinking together today and every day.

Lee Kennedy

Founder and Chairman
Upon honorable discharge from the Marine Corps, Lee M. Kennedy started his career in construction as a union laborer, crane operator and iron worker. He perceived the need for a quality general contractor experienced in the construction field, and one that actually performed the tasks with its own full-time employees. In 1978 he founded Lee Kennedy Company. Mr. Kennedy’s philosophy of service and team work with the client and project professionals has resulted in an outstanding company reputation for on-time, on-budget, quality projects. This has led to valuable long-term relationships with team members and clients.
