Construction Manager
Society for the Protection of NH Forests, Concord, NH

The General Contractor is the next critical piece to the puzzle.  We sought Bruss Construction (www.Brusscon.com) out because of their 20 years of reputation as a “World Class Contractor” with a specialty in building environmentally friendly buildings.   Michael Bruss, President, brings his experience as a member of the League of New Hampshire Craftsmen since 1980, his philosophy of being a true partner with his clients and his genuine dedication to quality construction.  Michael takes an intense involvement in the project and is a vital part of our consulting team.

What the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests had to say about Bruss Construction:

"Our project (Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests) had some very lofty environmental goals. Bruss Construction, Inc. bought into these early on, worked hard with the entire design team to develop workable solutions and then convinced all the subcontractors to do things that were some times out of the ordinary. The result is a fabulous new addition that 'Wows' everyone who sees it. Our goals have been met and we have our new friends at Bruss Construction, Inc. to thank."
