In 2001, Robert Carrigg founded Carrigg Commercial Builders in Manchester, NH. In 2026, the company marks 25 years.

Anniversaries invite nostalgia, but owners evaluating a general contractor care more about what can be checked: what a company has built, where, and for how long. This post lays out the record Carrigg Commercial Builders has confirmed, in numbers and dates.

For facility directors, federal project managers, and commercial owners across New England, it is a short look at the work behind Bob Carrigg's name.

The Numbers

• 25+ years in commercial construction, since 2001

• 100+ completed projects

• A company-reported 100% client satisfaction record

• Six New England states served: New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, Vermont, Connecticut, and Rhode Island

• One headquarters, in Manchester, NH, near Manchester-Boston Regional Airport

2001: A Ranger Becomes a Builder

Robert Carrigg is a U.S. Army Ranger and Bronze Star recipient who served in the Middle East. After his military service, he founded Carrigg Commercial Builders in 2001 and has led it as Managing Member ever since. The company has been based in Manchester, NH from the start, and Bob Carrigg's team has built its practice around federal, VA, healthcare, and commercial clients.

Four VA Projects, Three Dated Completions

The company's named VA projects show the kind of work behind the numbers:

• Bedford VA Emergency Generator Replacement, Bedford, MA (2021)

• Jamaica Plain VA Medical Center Electrical Upgrade, Jamaica Plain, MA (2022)

• Edith N. Rogers VA Mental Health Outpatient Clinic, Bedford, MA (2023)

• White River Junction VA Women's Mental Health Clinic Renovation, White River Junction, VT

The scopes differ: backup power, electrical infrastructure, and clinical space. The conditions they share are the ones the company was built for, which are occupied, mission-critical VA facilities that have to keep operating while work is under way. These four are named examples and not a complete list of the company's 100-plus projects.

What the SDVOSB Designation Adds

Carrigg Commercial Builders is a CVE-verified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business. The designation is a verification of ownership and control by the VA's Center for Verification and Evaluation. It describes the company's ownership. It says nothing about the outcome of any particular contract.

Twenty-five years is not a slogan. It is a record that can be checked.

What 25 Years Does and Does Not Prove

A long track record shows durability, and that the company has kept earning work for a quarter century. It does not, on its own, show that a contractor fits a specific project. Owners should still ask for references from comparable facilities, confirm credentials through the proper registries, and look at completed work in buildings like their own. Carrigg Commercial Builders welcomes that scrutiny.

What This Means for Clients

Robert Carrigg, Manchester NH's veteran-owned commercial construction leader, built the company on a simple premise: do demanding work in demanding places, and let the record speak. For owners planning a renovation or upgrade in an occupied facility, Bob Carrigg's team in Manchester, NH is ready to walk through that record, project by project.
