Bostex Builders and Construction Management, LLC

Bostex Builders and Construction Management, LLC is a Newton-based firm that says it's less about swinging a hammer and more about running the job — project management, claims management and construction oversight for commercial and multi-unit residential buildings. The company says it was started in 2021 by John Callahan, who it describes as having more than 30 years of experience in commercial construction and mixed-use development. The two Google reviews on file back that up. In a 2024 review, one client called working with John "simply great," pointing to his professionalism, responsiveness and timeliness on a project. Another 2024 review credits him with project management, sales and estimating help that closed and managed several bids, and says they would recommend him for winning or running commercial or residential jobs. Worth knowing before calling: this is a management and consulting operation, not a crew that shows up to do the physical work — Callahan's role here is coordinating, reviewing and overseeing rather than building. The site also lists a Boston Builder's License, a Massachusetts Construction Supervisor's License, an HIC registration, and Certified Construction Manager (CCM) credentialing; none of these have been checked against a state registry, so it's worth asking to see them directly. For someone who needs a project managed, contracts reviewed, or a general contractor kept honest on schedule and budget, this looks like the right kind of call — just confirm up front what "management" covers on the job.
