Braintree, Mass. Contractor Sees Wisdom in Giving Back to Community By Jay Adams CEG CORRESPONDENT
For Joseph Joyce, owner of Joe Joyce Excavating Inc. a site work/foundation business in Braintree, Mass., one of the teeming suburbs which surround crowded Boston, Mass., it has always been about children. For 14 years, Joyce, an Irish immigrant, has worked on more than 20 separate projects for Boston’s Habitat for Humanity, the popular charity that builds homes and shelters for the poor and needy. More often than not, according to George O’Malley, director of projects of Habitat for Humanity, Greater Boston, Joyce has offered his excavation, demolition, foundation building, site work, utility work and other services for free or at a fraction of the cost. “Joe Joyce Excavating Inc. has been our excavator for many years. He is our ‘go-to guy’ for all matters civil. He

Due to liability issues, only personnel of Joyce Excavation can participate in this phase of construction.” Empty Since 1968 Joyce and Habitat worked with an army of other volunteers assembled through building contractors and the community on the Blue Hills project. This massive commercial enterprise took seven years to complete, but has been 45 years in the making. Blue Hill Place is a parcel of land in the Dorchester neighborhood of Boston.
