In 1942 Angelo Giardini, a foreign-

born American-schooled engineer,

formed a small construction com-

pany in Hartford, Connecticut. Over

the decades, The Associated Con-

struction Company has evolved into

a sophisticated, experienced organi-

zation that has constructed thou-

sands of buildings throughout

southern New England, creating an

enduring testament to the dreams

and vision of one man. Along the way,

we have also built an enduring repu-

tation for quality and service.

In construction, the product is

there for all to see. We have earned

our reputation by maintaining our

dedication to good workmanship and

demanding the best from our person-

nel and subcontractors. We plan,

manage and control each project to

maximize savings in time and cost.

You can be confident that we will

complete your project within budget

and on schedule.

Today, Associated Construction

remains a family-owned corporation.

We are rightfully proud of what we

have accomplished over the decades

and we are eager to continue to build

on our enduring reputation and con-

tinuing relationships with our clients.

Let Associated make the difference

on your next project.

adherence to strict budgets and tight

struction Manager, we take full re-

sponsibility for the coordination and

supervision of an entire project from

inception to occupancy—and regu-

larly reduce both construction time

and Owner costs significantly. As the

Owner, you will be involved in all de-

cisions, and kept informed about

construction costs, scheduling and

savings. You will be in control of your

project without being directly re-

sponsible for the day-to-day manage-

ment. That’s our job.

Throughout our more than sixty

years in business, educational

projects have been continually on our

active project list. Over time, these

buildings have become increasingly

more sophisticated, energy efficient

and specialized. Associated has the

experience and knowledge to meet

the demanding schedules and exact-

ing quality involved in educational

structures.

Municipal, state and federal

of our business. Associated has been

actively involved in many different

types of projects, from schools and

universities to Nike missile bases and

airports, to tollbooths, prisons, court-

houses and publicly funded residen-

tial units.

By participating in this public bid-

ding process, Associated maintains

current knowledge of competitive

costs in the building industry. This

knowledge of material and labor costs

serves us well when pricing projects

for private clientele.

Health care facilities

We have renovated several areas at Hartford’s Saint Francis Hospital and MedicalCenter, including the dialysis unit and the angiography suite shown here.

The soaring atrium of Middlesex Hospital’soutpatient clinic in Middletown.

Due to the ever-increasing cost of

health care, this industry is in a pro-

cess of reinvention. New procedures

and technology spur hospitals, im-

mediate care centers, surgi-centers

and health care complexes to reno-

vate and reconfigure existing space

and build additions or new facilities.

With our diversified background,

preconstruction services and value

engineering capabilities, Associated is

the ideal choice as a partner in these

demanding projects.

Saint Francis Hospital and Medi-

cal Center, Manchester Memorial

Hospital, Natchaug Hospital and

Middlesex Hospital have all looked to

Associated Construction to guide and

manage them through their building

programs.

Commercial and office space

The complexity and dollar volume

of commercial and corporate office

projects are simply too great to rely

on chance. Every day, competitive

bids come in too high, causing expen-

sive delays, revisions and lost con-

struction time.

To the contrary, Associated works

with your design team to deliver the

cost analysis and value engineering

needed to achieve maximum quality

within budget. We have saved mil-

lions of dollars and months of delays

for our commercial clients.

Residential buildings and congregate housing

The financing and construction

costs involved in large residential and

congregate housing projects are sub-

stantial. Associated works with you

from the inception of your project to

ensure that it is cost effective. We be-

gin by advising you on your construc-

tion options based on your available

funds.

Our value engineering is an essen-

tial part of the design phase. We fo-

cus on minimizing your cost while

assuring quality construction, creat-

ing tenant-attracting amenities and

meeting all applicable government

regulations and standards.

We have a strong history of meet-

ing or improving upon construction

schedules, which reduces interest pay-

ments and generates early rental or

sale income for our clients.

From our early days, religious

projects have been part of

Associated’s portfolio of ground-up

construction, additions and renova-

tions.

The Catholic Church, through its

many dioceses, has hired Associated

many times over the years as a Gen-

eral Contractor or Construction

Manager on various projects, includ-

ing houses of worship, educational

facilities and church-sponsored

housing.

In addition, Associated has con-

structed other houses of worship,

Center and one of the few Russian

Orthodox churches in Hartford.

One of the areas where Associated’s

roots lie is in industrial contracting.

Our dependability, performance

quality and on-time schedules have

earned us steady work in this very

technical and complicated niche mar-

ket.

Today, with more than forty indus-

trial projects completed, we continue

to construct new and renovate exist-

ing manufacturing facilities, chemi-

cal treatment plants, water treatment

plants, wastewater treatment plants,

propane and gas tank farms and labo-

ratory facilities. The interior of the Sanford Street PumpStation constructed for the South CentralRegional Water Authority in New Haven.
