Full-service general contractor and construction manager
serving New England since 1973.
More than fifty years of building trust, one project at a time.
Hutter Construction Corporation was founded in 1973 in New Ipswich, New Hampshire. What began as a local contracting firm has grown into one of the region's most respected construction companies operating across New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Maine, and Vermont.
We don't chase volume. We build quality relationships and the kind of work that speaks for itself decades later.
Our approach is simple. We hire exceptional people, invest in them, and give them the tools and autonomy to do their best work. We self-perform several of our own trades, which means tighter quality control, faster schedules, and a level of craftsmanship that sets us apart.
This is why roughly half our staff have been with us for ten years or more. It's also why clients keep coming back.
OUR HISTORY
Our History
Alvan and James Traffie, founders of Hutter Construction, grew up in Hutter, an unincorporated township in Minnesota, about 60 miles north of Duluth in the renowned Mesabi Range.
They came to New Hampshire in the 1960s seeking work, bringing with them a strong Scandinavian work ethic and deep faith. After honing their construction skills working for others, they incorporated Hutter Construction Corporation in July 1973 to provide general contracting services for building projects.
Hutter began with small renovation projects and masonry work, but by the late 1970s, the company expanded into general contracting, design-build, and construction management for larger projects—a growth pattern that continues today. From an original workforce of just Al and Jim and first-year sales of $150,000, Hutter has grown to over 200 full-time employees and annual sales exceeding $130 million.

OUR SELF-PERFORMED TRADES
FOUR TRADES,
ONE STANDARD
Each division operates with the same commitment to quality, safety, and long-term value that has defined Hutter since day one.
Sitework
Our extensive sitework experience includes all aspects of civil construction. Walker Farrey manages a team of 14 highly proficient operators and supporting crew members along with 26 pieces of heavy equipment with GPS automated technology.
Masonry
We offer full bed, thin stone and brick veneer, Concrete Masonry Units (CMUs), and elevator shaft construction. We employ a dozen expert masons, most of which have been with Hutter for 20+ years.
Metal Stud & Drywall
Dwayne White oversees the remaining divisions with 24 years of construction experience. His team includes skilled framers, drywall hangers and finishers with experience in every aspect of metal stud, drywall and acoustical ceiling tiles (ACT).
