John Daigle | President
John created Menemsha over 20 years ago because he felt the industry lacked accountability. With a degree in Real Estate and Construction Management from the University of Denver, he knew there was a better alternative to the adversarial relationships in the construction industry. John also knew he could improve the success of his projects when he was given the opportunity to provide input early in the development life cycle. John created a network of industry specialist including surveyors, designers and engineers to work closely with him and his preferred retail clients. His strategy proved successful as he quickly developed a reputation for consistent high volume retail construction success. As an early adopter of Integrated Project Delivery he has brought these relationships and innovative thinking closer by creating “In House” divisions that specialize in these services. John received the Construction Executive of the Year Award in 2005 from the Construction Financial Management Association.
