Our History
If there’s one thing our clients know, it’s that transparency is at the core of everything we do. And in keeping with that tradition, we’ll be honest that when Loureiro Engineering Associates was founded in 1975, our original members had no intention of expanding into construction. We were a team of passionate, experienced engineers and environmental scientists committed to delivering exceptional services in this area, no matter what construction team worked alongside us.
But the more we built a reputation for doing just that, the more requests we received from our clients to manage all aspects of projects — including the construction. At the time, that meant establishing trusted partnerships with the right contractors to build. But as our clients filled our pipeline and the work evolved, we knew we had to evolve with it. In 1998, Loureiro completed our first vertical construction job as a full-service team.
Over those two decades, we learned that clients in the industrial, manufacturing, and government spaces don’t want to juggle separate entities with multiple points of contact. They want the reassurance that one phone call ensures that all disciplines are working cohesively with their best interest in mind. And we pride ourselves on our ability to respond to our clients’ needs — which is how and why Loureiro Contractors Inc. and Loureiro Building Construction (LBC) were born.
And with exceptional service comes extraordinary outcomes. Loureiro’s organic growth set the foundation for a major move in our history when we acquired Pelletier Builders in 2020 — a decision fueled by the goal of gaining access to the very best talent in the market and elevating our capabilities in a powerful way.
Now, don’t let the different names under the Loureiro umbrella fool you — they’re simply technicalities allowing us to expand our building services without limits. When you work with our vertical construction, heavy/civil construction or professional services entity, you get one, fully integrated solution. Our full-service model allows us to be agile and efficient, reducing the need for coordination and maximizing our clients’ priorities.
We listen and understand your preferred method of project delivery, and we provide that seldom and uncompromising transparency that we’ve built our reputation on in presenting you the options.
Even when the job is done, we’re still asking questions and still listening. And if the feedback is anything less than we expect it to be, we’ll take accountability and make it right.
Because as a 100% employee-owned company, that’s the type of people we want on our team, and we know our clients can trust. And as we continue to evolve and expand our service offerings, that’s one thing that is guaranteed to never change. We’re just telling it like it is — always.
