Callahan Construction Managers and Velney Construction form strategic partnership

Bridgewater, MA Callahan Construction Managers (Callahan), a full-service construction management company, has formed a strategic alliance with Velney Construction, a 100% veteran, service-disabled veteran- and minority-owned company located in Somerville, Mass.

The partnership is part of Callahan’s ongoing diversity and inclusion initiative to equip local minority-, women-, and Section 3-owned trade partners with the tools and resources necessary to compete for contracts in affordable housing and other key construction sectors.

“Persistent challenges for small businesses in the construction industry are the financial restrictions which slow a company’s ability to obtain the resources essential for growth,” said Patrick Callahan, president of Callahan. “Through this initiative, we aim not only to share our management expertise with Velney but also to help Velney expand and grow its financial resources. The partnership will also help Callahan expand and strengthen our network of M/W/D/VBE companies, ultimately creating more opportunities for all involved.”

Josue Velney, owner and CEO of Velney, said, “We are thrilled to collaborate with Callahan and leverage its vast expertise in housing and other sectors of construction. This partnership will allow us to better manage different aspects of a project with the help of Callahan’s oversight and expertise. We are excited to be a part of their project teams that will provide valuable insight into how to best build and manage a project.”
