Chamber Spotlight: Boston Civil
Kevin Quetti, owner of Boston Civil, is living his dream.
He has a growing business, a fiancée, an amazing neighborhood, and a new office on East Broadway.
“It’s a dream come true to have a sign on Broadway,” he said.
While his office was located in Andrew Square, the Principal Engineer posted on a Facebook group that he was looking for space on Broadway. Seaport Realty reached out and let him know they were willing to share their space at 711 E. Broadway.
He had great rapport with Elizabeth Dynan, owner of Seaport Realty, and her daughter, Tara, and the move was approved.
“Seaport has been great and is very active in the Southie real estate scene,” Kevin said, noting he moved to the space in April. “Moving to Broadway has been great.”
Originally from the Berkshires, he attended Villanova, where he got his civil engineering degree, and always wanted to live and work in South Boston.
“I just love it here,” he said, noting he’s a frequent visitor to Roza Lyons next door and got his fiancée Laura's engagement ring from Carson Calnan Pitts at Inner Harbor Jewelers a few doors down.
He loves the proximity to the beach, the restaurants, and the walkability of the neighborhood.
In a conversation with Donna Brown, executive director of South Boston NDC, she mentioned the Chamber of Commerce and Kevin knew he wanted to be involved. He joined the Chamber in June.
He sees the Chamber as a way to help him grow his network, meet new people, and participate in Chamber events.
“It’s just a good sense of community here,” he said.
Kevin, 31, has worked on projects ranging from single-family homes to large-scale housing developments, and upcoming commercial developments on Broadway.
The civil engineering services Kevin provides include:
Development coordination
Site utility design
·Site layout and grading

·Stormwater management design and permitting

“It's often overlooked in the construction and real estate world, but it's important,” Kevin said.
“We strive to continue providing a reputation for excellence, reliability, and transparency
in every project we undertake.”
Boston Civil works with architects, builders, real estate developers, realtors, geotechnical engineers, fire protection engineers, plumbing engineers, structural engineers, surveyors, wetland scientists, and others.
Kevin relies on referrals and word-of-mouth to grow his business and because he takes every project seriously, picks up the phone, is responsive and professional, and goes above and beyond, it’s working.
He was able to hire one person this year and will continue to grow carefully.
Kevin founded Quetti Design in 2020 and transitioned the company to Boston Civil in 2023.
“I don't take having the name ‘Boston’ in our company name lightly. I want to represent it as a very high-quality brand,” Kevin said.
