Company History

A shop full of tools and $700.

That’s how we started. Frank Firmani founded Charter Construction in 1983 with modest means and a big commitment to craftsmanship. He knew constructing the best buildings required going above and beyond. All the time.

Since then, our toolbox has grown considerably, but our culture of hard work is unchanged. Frank is now retired, succeeded by Peter Saladino and a new era of leadership, including Patrick Cosentino and Eric Jackson. In 2009, we retired Frank’s lucky pink shirt to the ceiling of our HQ, a reminder to always reach higher.
