As we celebrate Construction Inclusion Week, we’re proud to spotlight one of our valued MBE subcontractors, NHK Electrical Contractors. This family-owned business, led by Glen and Marquita Kelley, spans over 60 years. The journey began in the 1960s with Abe Kelley Electrical, founded by Glen’s uncle Abraham Kelley who served as an electrical lineman in the U.S. Army. Two decades later, Glen’s father, Ned H. Kelley, established NHK Electrical, which continues to carry the family name. Glen started working with both his uncle and father in the late 1980s and eventually took the helm, becoming the third generation to lead the Dorchester-based business. NHK has partnered with Kaplan on projects in Roxbury, Dorchester, and Jamaica Plain for nearly a decade. For Glen and Marquita, being an MBE contractor represents independence and the chance to create opportunities for their peers. As Glen puts it, it's about "building up his community." At Kaplan, we believe that integrating diversity into our subcontractor and supplier teams strengthens us by bringing fresh perspectives and driving innovation. It's a win-win. #constructioninclusionweek #supplierdiversity

We’re kicking off Construction Inclusion Week! This week is all about celebrating diversity and promoting inclusion in the construction industry. Today’s theme is accountability and commitment. At Kaplan, we believe that an inclusive culture means owning our actions in addition to committing to collective accountability. And accountability isn’t just a responsibility for leaders—it’s something we all contribute to, every day. #constructioninclusionweek #constructioninclusionweek2024

We formally celebrated the completion of Leyland Community with a ribbon-cutting ceremony, featuring remarks from City of Boston officials, Dorchester Bay Economic Development Corporation, Hebrew SeniorLife, and current Leyland residents! The new five-story senior housing development includes 43 units, including five designed for individuals with mobility, hearing, and visual impairments. To build something that serves and creates a lasting impact on an entire community, especially the aging community, is truly fulfilling as a contractor.

We had a fantastic time at last week’s ribbon cutting to celebrate Sportsmen's Tennis & Enrichment Center's brand new four-court indoor facility in Dorchester. As part of their major capital improvements initiative, the expansion boosts indoor capacity by nearly 60%, allowing for a wider range of programs and tournaments. We're honored to have been the builder for a project that supports both the local and broader tennis community. Thank you to Toni Wiley and STEC for trusting us to realize your vision! 📸 credit: Craig Bailey

It’s that time of year when we revisit this iconic 1981 memo, announcing Kaplan’s leap from hand-typed payroll to purchasing its first computer to keep up with the changing technology. We've come a long way! #kaplanvault
