Construction Management and Builders, Inc. (CM&B) has earned a top workplace distinction in Massachusetts, securing the No. 3 spot among medium-sized companies on The Boston Globe’s annual Top Places to Work list. The recognition places CM&B ahead of hundreds of other entrants and makes it the highest-ranked construction management firm across all company size categories, reinforcing its position as a standout employer in the regional construction sector.
Based on surveys conducted by Energage, the program evaluates organizations across multiple dimensions — including leadership effectiveness, organizational values, employee development, compensation, and workplace culture. More than 120,000 employees from 314 companies statewide contributed feedback, making it one of the most comprehensive workplace assessments in the region.
Tim Puopolo, Executive Vice President of CM&B, said the ranking validates the company’s long-standing investment in its team.
“At CM&B, People.Building. is more than a philosophy—it’s the foundation of who we are,” Puopolo said. “This recognition validates what we’ve always believed: our people are our greatest asset. We’ve invested in our team, our facilities, and our future to create an environment where individuals thrive, careers grow, and excellence is the standard. Our goal has always been to deliver unmatched value to our clients—and that starts with our people. A thriving workplace creates empowered teams who bring that value to every project.”
Commitment to People-First Culture
The award highlights CM&B’s “People.Building.” philosophy — a guiding framework the company credits for its strong retention, collaborative culture, and high client satisfaction. The approach emphasizes mentorship, cross-functional cooperation, leadership development, and long-term career pathways, which the company says directly translate into stronger project outcomes.
Industry Standing and Long-Term Growth
With more than 135 employees and offices in both Boston and New York, CM&B supports a diverse range of markets: hospitality, industrial, academic, automotive, grocery, defense, retail, and science and technology. The company has built ongoing partnerships with leading national brands, restaurateurs, R&D firms, and emerging startups.
Founded in 1992, CM&B has carved out a reputation for operational excellence and strong industry collaboration. Its leadership credits the firm’s continued growth to its core values — integrity, accountability, and a commitment to exceeding client expectations.
A Workplace That Reflects Its Mission
The company says the recognition aligns closely with its long-term vision: building not only high-quality facilities for clients but also a career environment that empowers employees to reach their full potential.
The award, executives say, provides new momentum heading into 2026 as the company continues expanding its workforce, strengthening its culture, and enhancing employee experience across all levels.
