Successful leaders often develop resilience early in their careers, but few embody perseverance quite like Tyler Ferguson, President and CEO of PM Construction Co., Inc. in Saco, Maine. Under his leadership, the company has expanded throughout Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, and Massachusetts, earning a reputation for excellence in commercial, retail, and multi-residential construction.
Tyler leads with integrity, determination, and a clear vision for growth and innovation.
A foundation built on determination
From a young age, Tyler learned that hard work and perseverance pave the way for success. He attended Unity College in Maine, where small classes and close faculty connections created the ideal environment for his hands-on learning style.
After graduation, Tyler began his career in arboriculture, spending long days high above the ground in Maine’s challenging weather. When a business venture ended unexpectedly, he seized a new opportunity by joining PM Construction through a family connection. Starting at the ground level, he took on every task with humility and focus, quickly earning a reputation for reliability and leadership.
Turning a challenge into opportunity
Early in his PM Construction career, Tyler identified a serious issue with firestopping in a hospital project, an overlooked safety risk that few understood at the time. Determined to find a solution, he researched the field extensively and connected with experts who helped him master the trade. This pivotal moment led to the creation of National Firestopping Solutions (NFS) in 2012, which has since grown into a trusted partner for hospitals and facilities across more than 30 states.
Balancing long hours at PM Construction with the demands of building a new business, Tyler transformed a complex problem into a thriving company that strengthens life safety and compliance nationwide.
Leadership and vision
Mentored by PM Construction’s founder, William Nason, Tyler rose steadily through the company’s ranks and officially became President and CEO in April 2024. Today, he continues to honor the company’s long-standing values while driving innovation and sustainable growth.
Under his leadership, PM Construction has strengthened relationships with major clients such as Hannaford Supermarkets and expanded its portfolio of affordable housing projects, including the $14 million Adam’s Point development in Biddeford and a $4 million park project in Portland. The company’s team of experienced superintendents and emerging professionals share Tyler’s commitment to craftsmanship and community impact.
People at the core
PM Construction’s success is built on its people. Tyler Ferguson fosters a workplace culture grounded in teamwork, accountability, and respect, where employees celebrate milestones, support one another, and take pride in shared success. The company’s new 19,000-square-foot headquarters reflects this spirit of growth and collaboration, housing both PM Construction and its sister company, NFS.
As a devoted husband and father of five daughters, Charlotte, Hazel, Evelyn, Valerie, and Claire, Tyler Ferguson credits his family as his greatest motivation. His journey exemplifies the power of persistence, humility, and hard work in building both a thriving company and a meaningful life.
