About Projects Prefabrication Opportunities About Us Our History Affiliations Community Our Story Continues to Evolve 1922 The story of Purcell Construction Corp. began in 1922 when Roland Deline started Deline Construction with little more than a pickup truck and a wheelbarrow. Starting as a plastering contractor, Deline Construction grew steadily over the years and during the Second World War was instrumental in the construction of Pine Camp, now Fort Drum. 1963 When the company was purchased by Robert Purcell and Edward Colligan in 1963 it had grown to be one of the leading general contractors in Northern New York. Many banks, churches, and other institutional structures constructed during this period still dot the landscape of the community, in testimony to that part of our history. 1973 When the name was changed to Purcell Construction Corp. in 1973 the company had diversified. In addition to continuing its tradition as an institutional builder, it had become a leader in multi-family housing in Northern New York. 1986 Upon Robert Purcell’s death in 1986 the leadership of the company passed to his son, Mark Purcell. Over the past several decades Purcell Construction has experienced significant growth and has evolved from being a strong local general contractor into one of the nation’s leading design-build firms. 2003 As part of that evolution a Mid-Atlantic office was established in 2003 to take advantages of opportunties in the federal market. Given Purcell’s ability to adapt and willingness to expand, the company has seen success in the completion of many large projects at Fort Eustis and Fort Lee and in the private sector. 2014 For over 50 years, Purcell Construction has been characterized by our ability to deliver quality workmanship from design to completion. Purcell Construction has been great to work with. All of the employees are very professional, knowledgeable, and friendly, with a helpful “can do” attitude. They are eager to please the client, which is very important to me. The Purcell Team does what they say they will do. Most of all, I trust Purcell to get the job done right.
