Collins Construction Company, Inc., a family-owned business, has established a solid foundation in the construction industry for over 90 years, making it a trusted name across Southeastern New England. Founded in 1928 by Francis L. Collins as F.L. Collins Builder, the company initially focused on industrial work and factory maintenance. By 1933, Francis’s sons joined the business, transforming it into a union contractor specialized in diverse projects, including educational and housing facilities. In 1984, it transitioned to Collins Construction Co., Inc., becoming an open shop corporation under the leadership of Paul Collins, and later Jim Collins, who significantly advanced the organization's growth until his passing in 2017.
Now run by Rebecca Collins, the great-granddaughter of the founder, the company embraces innovation and modernization, having integrated new construction and estimating software for enhanced project management. Under Rebecca’s stewardship, Collins Construction also achieved status as a Certified Women-Owned Business in Rhode Island and Massachusetts. This recognition not only bolsters the firm’s reputation but also emphasizes its commitment to community engagement, customer relations, and a workforce rooted in integrity, capability, and honesty.
Today, Collins Construction Company continues to maintain a strong legacy of quality, demonstrated by high-quality facilities and enduring relationships with clients, subcontractors, and designers. The company’s relentless dedication to service, alongside its community-focused approach, distinguishes it as a leader in the construction sector, committed to shaping the future while honoring the rich history it was built upon.
