Will's Office in the 1940's	Caterpillar Model Thirty Dozer

A.A. Will Corporation is one of the oldest family owned construction firms in the greater Boston area. Alex Will started his own heavy construction company in Milton, Massachusetts back in 1886. For many years, the company’s work focused on teams of horses for hire and sales of fill, firewood, and manure.

His son Duncan Will started A.A. Will Corporation in the 1910’s. His wife, Nora Will, would take over the company after Duncan’s death in 1924. Mechanized earth work and trucking became the focus of work for the company starting in World War II when heavy equipment was needed to unload the ballast fill coming back on otherwise empty merchant marine ships supplying the European war effort. Sales of sand and gravel would also become an important source of income for the company.

Duncan’s sons, Alex and Forbes, took command in the 1950’s and carried the company into the 1970’s through good times and difficult times. Will became known for earthwork and shopping mall construction. The next generation of Wills, Alexander, better known as “Sandy”, and Frank brought the company into the 1980’s.

Today’s A.A. Will, now located in Stoughton, Massachusetts, is owned by Sandy Will and his son, Cary Will. Over the years, the company has adapted to changing market conditions. Challenging urban foundation projects and site development projects now provide much of Will’s work. Hard work, wise growth decisions, and development of a loyal client base has created a winning formula for the A.A. Will of today and tomorrow.
