border of Maine. To complete the project, the materials had to be flown over in a helicopter – “which was out of our ordinary day-to-day operations,” Marilyn says. “That was very unique, to say the least.” The company continues to take on various projects, with values ranging anywhere from $5,000 to $1.5 million. According to Terry Shears, a project manager with the company who’s been with Bonney Construction for the last five years (and has been in the industry for over 50 years), clients of all kinds choose Bonney Construction primarily due to their unrivalled reputation. “Our company has been around for a long time,” he says. “We’ve become well known for the service and quality we provide. That’s how people know us. They know us as an honest company, a company that’s easy to work with, and a company that takes pride in our work. That’s why they chose us.” When it comes to commercial jobs, he admits that clients mostly make decisions based on cost – so that’s another reason they choose Bonney Construction, he says, because “we have good pricing.” On the commercial side, schedule is also a key factor. Bonney Construction has worked with many of the same commercial clients on multiple projects, and they would only be able to get that repeat business if they proved they could meet deadlines. Terry credits that reliability to the company’s experience – they have been building for so long, he says, that we’ve “got the whole process pretty well down pat.” JUNE 2024
