About Purcell Construction
The story of Purcell Construction Corp. began in 1922 when Roland Deline started Deline Construction with little more than a pickup truck and a wheelbarrow. Starting as a plastering contractor, Deline Construction grew steadily over the years and during the Second World War was instrumental in the construction of Pine Camp, now Fort Drum.

The company was purchased by Robert Purcell and Edward Colligan in 1963 and had grown to be one of the leading general contractors in Northern New York. Many banks, churches, and other institutional structures constructed during this period, still dot the landscape of the community, in testimony to that part of our history.

When the name was changed to Purcell Construction Corp. in 1973, the company had diversified. In addition to continuing its tradition as an institutional builder, it had become a leader in multi-family housing in Northern New York.

Upon Robert Purcell’s death in 1986, the leadership of the company passed to his son, Mark Purcell. Over the past twenty years, Purcell Construction has experienced significant growth and has evolved from a strong, local general contractor into one of the nation’s leading design-build firms.
