Architectural Paving & Stone, Inc. (APS) has been a cornerstone in the commercial construction industry since its establishment in 1986 by Bill McConnell and Jim McEttrick. With decades of combined experience, both founders brought critical industry knowledge—Mr. McConnell from his tenure with Anastasi Brothers and Manganaro Corp., and Mr. McEttrick from Hastings Pavement Company. This wealth of experience translated into a dynamic approach that allowed APS to thrive in various challenging environments throughout New England.
Over the years, APS has successfully undertaken numerous significant projects across Massachusetts. Some of the hallmark achievements include the granite veneer of the Boston Police Headquarters and the extensive sidewalk paving associated with the Central Artery Tunnel project. Their portfolio reflects a commitment to quality and precision, illustrating how APS has become a respected name among masonry subcontractors in the region.
Notably, the company has earned multiple awards over the years, underscoring its dedication to craftsmanship and service excellence. Their accolades include the prestigious New England Golden Trowel Awards and numerous recognitions from the Boston Society of Landscape Architects. These honors not only showcase APS's quality of work but also their fervent commitment to the construction industry's standards.
By prioritizing long-standing partnerships with organizations such as Bricklayers & Allied Crafts Local 3 and the Massachusetts Laborers District Council, APS demonstrates its commitment to collaborative success and union work in both public and private sectors.
Today, APS continues to adapt and grow within the ever-evolving construction landscape, reflecting their adaptability and resilience. With an eye on the future, they remain steadfast in delivering exceptional project outcomes and fostering strong, value-centric relationships with their clients and partners.
