Our History

As the economy improved, Fulcrum returned to its roots: Construction. We quickly established ourselves as experts in constructing and renovating supermarkets, working for the Purity family of stores and Hannafords (formerly known as Shop N’ Save). To this day, Fulcrum has constructed and renovated over 100 supermarkets.

After a devastating fire struck the manufacturing facility of WPI Group in Warner, NH on New Year’s Eve, Fulcrum was tasked with urgently saving the day. 56 days later, WPI (now known as Warner Power) moved into their new 25,000sf office space and 30,000sf manufacturing plant.

In 1998, we began to expand into new markets. The popularity of data centers grew rapidly as the internet exploded, and Fulcrum became adept at designing and constructing the infrastructure necessary to keep the internet open for business.

As quickly as it came, the “dot-com” bubble burst around this time. Fulcrum started to focus on industrial projects; particularly, Hitchiner Manufacturing located in Milford, NH.

These were landmark years for various Education projects, including: KinderCare, Creative Years, High Mowing School, and more.

2006 marked the year medical projects became a special focus for Fulcrum. In fact, we have delivered a major medical project every year since 2006. Fulcrum has renovated or constructed facilities for Southern New Hampshire Health Systems, Catholic Medical Center, Elliot Hospital, Dartmouth-Hitchcock, and St. Joseph Hospital.

Founder and co-owner Matthew Ladd decided to move to Rhode Island and sold his interest to Jeff Luter, who remains the sole owner of the company.

It was around this time that we finally saw an increase in project size. These years were filled with showcase projects, such as: Copper Door Restaurant, LaBelle Winery, The Center at 17, and, our largest-scale project to date, Tidewater at Salisbury Apartments.

One of our biggest years for growth and change! In 2016, we hired over a dozen new employees and reached our highest revenue to date. This is also the year that our current logo was created!

New year. New Fulcrum. New office space! In order to promote a more collaborative and open work environment, we demolished our bullpen area and put up work stations; complete with “Fulcrum orange” paint and corrugated metal.
