Consigli is a commercial construction manager and general contractor that delivers complex, high-value building projects throughout Maine.
We partner with healthcare systems, universities, developers, cultural institutions, nonprofits and public entities to build and renovate essential facilities, preserve historic buildings and support thoughtful development.
We pair our hands-on, genuine builder approach with advanced construction tools and collaborative planning to renovate, restore and build spaces that support how the people of Maine live, work and connect.
What have you learned about attracting and retaining talent through values-based leadership?
People are drawn to places where they feel respected, supported and connected to the work they do. Consigli has been named the #1 Best Place to Work in Maine four years in a row because our culture matches our values. Leaders are present and approachable. Teams look out for one another. Flexibility, strong benefits and wellness support are part of how we take care of our people, but it’s the everyday experiences that make the difference. When people feel ownership and trust, they stay, grow and bring others with them.
Why is local engagement important to your long-term business success?
Local engagement matters because Maine is home. Our Portland office has been a permanent part of the state for more than 20 years, with a team made up of 150 Mainers who live and work here. We believe the best projects come from strong local relationships and deep understanding of place. By working with local construction industry partners, supporting workforce development and showing up for organizations and causes that matter to our people, we build trust that lasts beyond any single project. That commitment strengthens our communities, supports recruitment and retention and ensures we’ll be here for the long haul.
How do your values show up in day-to-day business decisions?
Our values guide how we work and show up in the choices our teams make every day. Building great people, great projects and great relationships starts by recruiting, training and mentoring people who care about doing the work the right way and giving them the support and trust to grow. It continues on our projects, where teamwork, pride in craft and accountability shape how we plan, build and solve problems. It’s reinforced through our relationships.
What builds us in return is how we operate day to day. Drive pushes us to set goals and exceed expectations. Humility reminds us to listen, learn and put others first. Accountability means owning decisions and following through on our commitments. Together, these values keep us focused on longterm success, encourage ownership at every level and create a culture where people are proud of the work they do and the way they do it.
In a sentence or two, how would you describe your company’s values and the role they play in Maine’s economy?
Guided by drive, humility and accountability, Consigli builds great people, great projects and great relationships with our clients, design teams and trade partners. By living these values, we help strengthen the communities we serve and Maine’s economy for the long term.
