Peter Matthes, President and Owner of Matthes Construction, brings more than three decades of experience in architecture, construction management, and project leadership. A graduate of Roger Williams University, he earned his Bachelor of Architecture degree in 1992 before beginning a 14-year career with two architectural firms specializing in public construction.

During his architectural career, Peter focused on the design and construction administration of K–12 schools and a wide range of municipal facilities. He developed a reputation for creating practical, buildable solutions that balanced design intent with tight budgets, demanding schedules, and the complexities of occupied renovation and addition projects.

In 2006, Peter joined Ford Construction Corp., Builders and Engineers, where he played a key role in the construction of the $35 million MEDITECH headquarters and parking garage in Fall River, Massachusetts. Following the retirement of Ford Construction’s owners, the company evolved into Matthes Construction, where Peter and many of the firm’s experienced team members continue to serve a long-standing client base built on trust, collaboration, and exceptional service.

Peter’s unique background in both architecture and construction provides clients with a distinct advantage. He approaches every project with the perspective of both a designer and a builder, allowing him to anticipate challenges, identify opportunities, and deliver thoughtful, cost-effective solutions. Guided by a commitment to integrity, teamwork, and personalized service, Peter has built Matthes Construction on lasting relationships and a hands-on approach that puts each client’s goals first.
