Turner Construction named Janey Construction Management a joint-venture partner at a 2024 groundbreaking at Harvard, and back in 2015 a project award went to Gilbane in association with Janey as its Roxbury-owned partner. That is this company's lane — a Boston construction manager and general contractor working alongside the region's biggest builders. The company says Greg Janey founded it in Roxbury in 1984 with two cousins, and that it now handles commercial and residential projects across the Northeast, offering general construction and owner's representation from offices in Boston, Cape Cod and Washington, D.C. Janey himself is a visible voice in the city's contracting debates: in 2021 he told GBH News that federal law leans too hard on a contractor's annual revenue and not enough on race and ethnicity in deciding which companies get a leg up on contracts. In January 2019 the Boston Fed listed the firm among businesses advising the Reserve Bank on regional economic conditions, and a 2022 Harvard Business School account names it among the firms invited to bid on a campus project. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #154864, is active on the state registry. On Google the company holds 5 stars from five ratings; a March 2025 reviewer described quality craftsmanship at an affordable price and praised the communication, and a March 2024 review credited the people and the company "from the top down." One matter to raise directly: Good Jobs First's Violation Tracker lists a $44,630 federal penalty against Janey Construction Management & Consulting dated February 16, 2019 — an employment-related wage-and-hour case tied to the Davis-Bacon Act, the prevailing-wage rules that govern federally funded construction. This is a firm built for the larger, managed project rather than a quick repair call. If you are planning a substantial build, or want someone sitting on your side of the table as owner's rep, ask which Boston-office team would run your job day to day, and get the registration number, the insurance certificate and a written scope before anyone starts.

“Two larger firms with whom the School had well-established relationships and two smaller minority-owned local businesses were invited to bid. Unbeknownst to the team, two of those companies, Shawmut Design and Construction and Janey Construction Management, had been seeking an opportunity to work together, and approached Memmott and O’Brien to ask if they could submit a joint proposal—which ended up being the winning bid.”
“Greg Janey, president of Boston-based Janey Construction Management, told GBH News that the federal law puts too much emphasis on the annual revenues of contractors and not enough on their race and ethnicity in determining which companies should get a leg up on contracts. ... “The language needs to be more detailed about what portion of those funds will be allocated towards minority businesses and not necessarily a small business,” said Janey, who is Black.”
