The story

Founded in 2010 as a regional construction management firm in Maine, Landry/French Construction has grown into a nationally recognized commercial contractor serving healthcare, education, life sciences, aviation, and industrial sectors across Northern New England and Florida. The company is 100% employee-owned (ESOP), which distinguishes its culture and talent retention strategy. Financially, the firm evolved its back-office infrastructure by migrating from Ramp to Brex for corporate spend management, achieving dramatic reductions in month-end close time, signaling a maturation of its embedded finance stack alongside its construction operations.
