Plainview, NY EW Howell Construction Group has expanded its healthcare division with the promotion and hiring of three executives.
Robert Timperio has been promoted to vice president of EW Howell Construction Group’s healthcare division, which also recently welcomed Chris Caponegro and Daniel Abbruzzese as project executives.
“As EW Howell celebrates its 125th anniversary, we’ve seen tremendous growth within each of our divisions – including education, arts & culture, retail and specialty projects – but especially healthcare,” said Howard Rowland, president of EW Howell Construction Group. “Robert, Chris and Daniel each bring a unique perspective and vast experience to the division and work great together as a team, strongly demonstrating our company’s dedication to ‘Build Simply.’ This approach streamlines the construction experience for our clients, making even the most complex projects well-executed endeavors delivered on time, on budget, and with as little complication as possible.”

“In the fast-paced world of healthcare, construction lies at the very center. Through our focused healthcare team, EW Howell Construction Group has our finger on the pulse of technological advancements to keep up with this highly specialized, highly regulated industry,” said Timperio. “From hospitals to nursing facilities to bio labs, the facilities we work with have to meet the varied needs of administrators, facility managers, caregivers and, ultimately, patients. A construction firm that understands the complicated nature of healthcare landscape is integral to the success of a project.”
