MSI Construction offers comprehensive design-build services that integrate architectural design and construction under a single contract. This approach streamlines project delivery by eliminating separate bidding processes and ensuring coordinated execution from concept through completion. Our team manages all aspects including budgeting, scheduling, and quality control while maintaining direct accountability to clients throughout the construction lifecycle.
Competitive Bid Services
We provide competitive bid construction services that follow traditional procurement methods required for government projects and preferred by private clients seeking transparent pricing. Our process involves detailed review of architectural plans, preparation of accurate cost estimates, and submission of compliant proposals while maintaining strict adherence to public bidding regulations and project specifications.

Specializing in pre-engineered metal buildings since 1968, MSI Construction delivers cost-effective solutions for commercial and industrial applications. Our capabilities range from small retail spaces to large manufacturing facilities exceeding 500,000 square feet. As authorized builders for CECO Building Systems, we combine advanced engineering with customizable design options to meet diverse functional and aesthetic requirements.
Construction Management
Our construction management services provide clients with expert oversight for complex projects requiring specialized coordination. We act as client representatives throughout the building process, managing budgets, reviewing design documents for constructability, and ensuring timely execution. This delivery method allows for early cost determination and phased construction while maintaining single-source accountability for project outcomes.
General Contracting
As full-service general contractors, we manage all aspects of construction projects from initial planning through final delivery. Our responsibilities include subcontractor coordination, material procurement, schedule management, and quality assurance.
