History
Budel Construction Corp. was founded in 1961 by Leon “Bud” Meader and his wife Ruth in Rochester, New Hampshire. With a shared vision of delivering quality construction services built on trust and integrity, the Meaders laid the foundation for what would become one of the Tri-State area's most respected general contractors.
Over the decades, Budel Construction grew from a small family operation into a multi-generational company known for its exceptional craftsmanship and client-focused service. The company has handled a wide variety of commercial and industrial projects across New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts—ranging from pre-engineered steel buildings to public works projects, manufacturing plants, and retail developments. Today, Bud’s son Bob continues the legacy, leading the company with the same dedication to quality and community values that have defined Budel Construction for over 60 years.
Still headquartered on Meaderboro Road in Rochester, Budel Construction remains deeply rooted in its origins while continually evolving to meet the demands of modern construction. Many of its clients return time and again—a reflection of the trust earned through decades of honest work and reliable results.
