Kaplan Construction

Kaplan Construction is a Brookline general contractor and construction management firm. Its website names commercial, healthcare, multi-family, worship and institutional work. The company says it was founded by Ken and Cathy Kaplan in 1976, and a 2026 bostonrealestatetimes.com article describes it marking its 50th anniversary. Its Women Business Enterprise certification, number 20140203, is active on the Massachusetts Supplier Diversity Office registry, held by Kaplan Corporation d/b/a Kaplan Construction. In a 2023 Google review, the director of the Worcester Art Museum thanked Kaplan for its part in the museum's library relocation. In that same 2023 review, the director wrote that balancing the budget, the design and delivery had a lot to do with the project's success, and gave a shout out to Kaplan's PM, superintendent and onsite crew. A 2023 Google review from Sebastian Mariscal, principal of Sebastian Mariscal Studio and a developer of CALA in Somerville, said Kaplan played a key role in executing the design intent of that project, which re-used the building's structural system. A 2013 post on brookline-massachusetts.uscompanies.net called it a shady construction company doing illegal construction on weekends at 8am with no permit. That 2013 poster wrote that a site manager repeatedly lied about having a permit, and that in the end Boston inspectional services came through.
