Ducas Construction was formed to provide Southern Maine and Northern New England with construction management services where integrity, transparency and quality are our core ethics.

We believe that a successful project is defined as much by the collaborative process, planning and execution as it is the end result. We strive for open and strong working relationships with the ownership and design teams, so that the final product can be defined and achieved in the most cost-efficient manner.
