Charles Construction Co. assists Northeast Dermatology in expansion
Salem, MA Charles Construction Company Inc. assists Northeast Dermatology Associates with an expansion of three back-to-back projects throughout the Northshore area. The expansion totaled over $1 million in construction costs and provided Northeast Dermatology with over 12,000 s/f of a new state-of-the-art, additional clinic space.
“The three projects for Northeast Dermatology went exceptionally smooth, all three projects were delivered on schedule, and there was not a single change order issued for any of the projects,” said project manager Alex Matses, “We conducted a thorough pre-construction process on all three projects, ensuring our client could meet their numbers and start scheduling patients based on our provided completion date, the day we broke ground.”
The three new clinics add an additional 18 exam rooms to Northeast Dermatology’s portfolio including two new phototherapy rooms and an additional procedure room. All clinics installed new offices, restrooms, nurses’ stations, breakrooms, and detail orientated reception areas and waiting rooms, creating a welcoming, relaxing atmosphere.
The original design and lead architect on two of the three projects, Allyson Laporta of DB2 Architecture, was able to pull out elements of each location and combine them with NEDA’s finish standards developed in association with NEDA’s CEO, Angela Cassazza, in order to give each location its own specific identity while tying into the NEDA umbrella.
All mechanical efforts were design/built in collaboration between Charles Construction and Commercial Construction Consultants of Boston. “It is always a joy working with C3, they are responsive, and more importantly they work with you,” said Mike Noyes, the superintendent on the three projects. One of the many reasons the projects were such a success.
Charles Construction project executive, Steve Matses said, “These projects are a prime example of what Charles Construction has been providing for the last 65 years, best in industry customer service with a completely transparent model in order to create beneficial relationships for all parties”
The three new locations can be found at 1 Blackburn Dr., Gloucester, MA; 5 Paradise Plaza, Salem, MA, and 1 Widger Rd., Marblehead, MA.

Ask the Electrician: How do I prepare my commercial building for a disaster?
New England’s notorious weather – from fierce winter storms to summer squalls and fall hurricanes – can leave businesses in the dark. While power outages are often blamed on storms, they can also be caused by unforeseen events like accidents or construction mishaps. While it’s impossible to prevent disasters and power outages entirely, proactive preparation can significantly minimize their impact on your commercial building.

State legislature ends session without passing PLA bill - by Joe Camilo
Massachusetts taxpayers dodged a bullet when the state Senate didn’t take up legislation passed by the House in the waning moments of the legislative session that would have made it easier for municipalities and state agencies to use union-only project labor agreements (PLAs) on construction projects.
