Engineering Expertise. Hands-On Construction.
About Theodore Collins
Led by Civil Engineer Theodore B. Collins, New Dawn Holdings brings more than 25 years of construction and project-management experience to Rhode Island homes and businesses. Theodore has managed multimillion-dollar projects and worked with international organizations, including the United Nations.
That experience shapes how we approach a kitchen, a basement, or a rental property: understand the whole project first, plan it carefully, and stay accountable until it's done.
Big-project experience. Local accountability. Hands-on craftsmanship.
What Sets Us Apart
1. An engineer looks at your project first.
Theodore Collins is a civil engineer. Before work starts, he thinks through structure, sequencing, and what could go wrong, so the plan holds up once the walls are open.
4. You'll know where your project stands.
You get a written scope before work begins and clear communication throughout.
2. Experience from much larger projects.
Over 25 years, Theodore has led multimillion-dollar construction projects. That discipline around scope, schedules, and budgets now goes into every kitchen, bathroom, and basement.
3. One team answers for the result.
You don't coordinate separate trades or chase down who's responsible. From the first walkthrough to the final one, you deal with New Dawn.
6. Registered and accountable in Rhode Island.
New Dawn is registered with the Rhode Island Contractors Registration & Licensing Board, is a member of the Rhode Island Builders Association, and is OSHA compliant.
5. Home, investment, and commercial experience.
We work with homeowners, real estate investors, and commercial property owners. We understand what a property needs, whether you're living in it, renting it, or running a business out of it.
