History

Founded in Ridgefield, Connecticut, by John Morganti in 1916, Morganti continuously provides the highest quality construction and project management, design-build and general contracting services. From its beginning through the 1940’s, Morganti’s services grew from constructing stonewall and small masonry projects into road building, bridge construction, high-end residential, shopping centers and commercial buildings.

In the 1950’s through the 1980’s, thanks to the managerial success of Paul Morganti and his three brothers — John, Joseph and Robert — the firm achieved national prominence, consistently ranking in the ENR Top 100 Largest National Construction Firms. During this time, Morganti evolved into a leader in education, healthcare, corporate office, waste water treatment, corrections and government construction, developing a variety of properties such as shopping malls, residential complexes, office buildings and medical centers.

Today, Morganti is an international construction firm, serving clients across the country from offices in Florida, Connecticut, New York, Texas, and abroad in Jordan. Our highly qualified and experienced team of more than 100 professionals works hand-in-hand with our clients from pre-construction through occupancy, incorporating advanced technology, documentation, safety and efficiency into our project and construction management services with the goal of streamlining communication, delivering construction expertise, and ultimately eliminating roadblocks. In the last three decades, Morganti added airports, utility, transportation, federal and military construction to its resume.

The Morganti team constructs solid foundations that last a lifetime. Our proven track record of delivering successful projects on time and on budget is the cornerstone of our longevity. Let us work for you.
