H P Cummings Construction Co was founded by Herbert P Cummings in Ware, Massachusetts in 1879. Originally focused on heavy industry, the company expanded to general building for various facilities including manufacturing plants, schools, and hospitals. The company operated in multiple locations throughout the northeast and established divisions to concentrate on specific regions. In 2015, the company closed one division and currently maintains offices in Woodsville, NH and Ware, MA. Over time, the company shifted from being a General Contractor to focusing on Construction Management, with over 99% of their work following this form of delivery.
