Oakman Enterprises, Inc.

Oakman Enterprises builds other people's workplaces. The Auburn general contractor and construction manager lists university and college facility upgrades, interior commercial renovations, telecommunications and mechanical-electrical upgrades, green construction and new commercial and industrial construction, working across New England with Massachusetts and Rhode Island as the focus. It is women-owned, and the certification is on a registry rather than only on the website: the Massachusetts Supplier Diversity Office women business enterprise certification is active and runs to 2028-06-23. The company announced that certification on LinkedIn in June 2022. Its Massachusetts home improvement contractor registration, #193834, is active on the state registry; BBB also lists a construction supervisor licence, CS-109963, and an OSHA30 certification. BBB has accredited the company since 2/29/2016, grades it A+, and puts it in business since 2010 — the company's own site says 20 years, so the two tenure figures are worth reconciling on a first call. On Google it carries 5 stars from a single rating. The front end of a project is part of what it sells: construction-management consulting, value design management facilitation, engineering estimating and cost analysis, with an owner the site describes as actively involved in every project. If the job is a commercial, industrial or institutional fit-out, renovation or new build in Massachusetts or Rhode Island, this is the lane Oakman works in. Ask which trades it self-performs and which it manages, settle the tenure question, and ask for references from a project the size of yours.
