Hanscom AFB Contractor & Military Construction in Massachusetts
WM Construction has been providing contracted construction and renovation services to Hanscom Air Force Base since 2015 as a licensed Massachusetts General Contractor, serving government clients, active duty military families, veterans, Coast Guard households, and Cape Cod military community members across the Commonwealth. Our federal contracting work predates the founding of our residential company, and the compliance discipline required on base (documented OSHA protocols, EPA standards, milestone scheduling, and full insurance transparency) is the baseline we bring to every project we run. Every WM Construction job operates under an active Massachusetts General Contractor license, a registered Home Improvement Contractor credential, EPA RRP Lead Safe certification, and current General Liability and Workers' Compensation coverage, all verifiable on request.
The Hanscom Relationship: Federal Work Since 2015
The Hanscom relationship started in 2015, one year before WM Construction was formed as a residential company. Marcelo had spent years on Massachusetts job sites working his way through the trades, and an opportunity came up to take on contracted work at Hanscom Air Force Base in Bedford. The work was demanding in a specific way: every task required documentation before, during, and after. Every material had to match spec. Every crew member needed to pass the required checks. Every day ended with a clean, compliant site or it did not end.
For Marcelo, that environment was not a burden. It was a filter. The base operated the way a good contractor should operate. By standards, not by vibes. When Jackeline and Marcelo founded WM Construction in 2016 to serve Cape Cod homeowners, the Hanscom habits came with the company. Documented scopes. Written schedules. Clean daily sites. Background checked crew. No shortcut culture, because on base there are no shortcuts available, and we decided early that there would be none in our residential work either. Eleven years later, the Hanscom relationship is still active, and it still shapes the way every Cape Cod project gets run.
What Federal Work Actually Requires
Federal construction work operates under standards that do not apply on a typical residential job site, and those standards shape the way we run every project we run, government or residential. When we are on base, the basics are non-negotiable.
Documentation at every stage
Scopes, change orders, daily logs, safety briefings, and completion signoffs all written, filed, and retrievable. Nothing verbal, nothing vibes-based.
OSHA compliant worksites
Personal protective equipment enforced. Fall protection, ladder and scaffold protocols, tool guarding, and hazard communication all documented. Safety briefings recorded. Incidents reported in writing.
EPA regulated material handling
Our crew is EPA RRP Lead Safe certified, and we follow containment, disposal, and clearance protocols on every pre 1978 surface disturbance. Hazardous and regulated materials handled per federal code.
Background checked personnel
Every crew member with access authorization has passed the required checks. Badge compliance active and tracked.
Full insurance transparency
General Liability, Workers' Compensation, and bonding documentation delivered before site access. Certificates of Insurance issuable to specified named parties on request.
That is the floor for federal work. It is also the floor for every Cape Cod residential project we run. If the protocol works on base, it works in your kitchen.

For Military Families Living on Cape Cod
Cape Cod has a significant military community. Joint Base Cape Cod in Bourne hosts Air National Guard, Army National Guard, Coast Guard, and Space Force components. Coast Guard Air Station Cape Cod is home to rescue crews and their families. The Massachusetts Maritime Academy in Buzzards Bay produces officers who often return to the region. And Cape Cod has long been a retirement destination for career military and their spouses.
For the military families living and working across Cape Cod, the same compliance habits we bring to Hanscom apply to your kitchen renovation, your siding replacement, or your deck rebuild. We understand PCS timelines and work around relocation schedules. We know how to communicate through chain of command style project updates when that is the preference. We carry the licensing and insurance paperwork that lets you add our documentation to your personal records without chasing down documents later.
Retired military homeowners, active duty families stationed regionally, Coast Guard households, DoD civilians, and Gold Star families are all welcome on our schedule. Veterans and active duty: mention your service when you call or request a site visit. We appreciate what you have done, and we build that respect into how we show up.
Military families relocating to or stationed near Cape Cod often settle off-base in Mashpee, Falmouth, Centerville, Barnstable, Yarmouth, Dennis, and Plymouth — towns where a significant share of the housing stock was built before 1978 and renovation work falls under EPA RRP lead-safe protocols. Federal work on base and residential work on Cape Cod neighborhoods both operate under the same Massachusetts regulatory baseline: 780 CMR for building permits, 248 CMR for plumbing, 527 CMR for electrical, plus federal Davis-Bacon prevailing wage on contracts that qualify. We coordinate all of it under one licensed Massachusetts general contractor, the same way we have since 2015.
