Recreational Construction: This is Where the Real Fun Begins

As a recreational building contractor, D.R. Poulin Construction Co., Inc. specializes in and has extensive experience with designing and building recreational-use buildings.

In recent years our projects have included rock climbing gyms in Watertown, Worcester, Hadley and Framingham, as well as an afterschool gymnastics facility for a local YMCA. 

Recreational facilities require special considerations that can often make traditional construction methods very costly to use. Creating recreational buildings for the public requires specialized features for safety as well as functionality – and it all needs to stay within budget. That’s why we offer complete flexibility for your recreational building needs, providing both stick-built and pre-engineered steel building construction options.

Any type of activity, from gymnastics to basketball or even roller rinks can be accommodated easily using our proven building solutions as a recreational building specialist. Whatever your needs, we are able to design and build your project to your exact specifications, from the ground up. Our team is highly experienced and reliable — most of our subcontractors have been working with us for at least 10 years and are considered a vital and valuable part of our team.  

Regardless of the type of facility your project entails, our process as an experienced recreational building contractor, is to carefully listen to you, the owner, to fully understand your needs and then collaborate closely with you and your team to exceed your expectations. Clear communication is the foundation of our relationships – we ensure that all clients are kept informed at every step of construction to minimize misunderstandings, avoid surprises, and keep projects on track, on time, and on budget. 

Our mission is to create recreational spaces where guests can relax and burn off steam and athletes can count on optimal performance, while owners save energy with sustainable and energy-efficient designs and operation. Our goal is to provide efficient, attractive buildings where friendly competition can happen, limits can be pushed, and everyone can have fun.

If you have an upcoming building project, we’d be happy to tell you more about the many benefits of insulated panels and pre-engineered buildings. We can show you how you can save significant time and money with an attractive, durable, and highly-customizable manufactured building.
