Messer Construction

We specialize in managing, developing and performing complex commercial construction in the communities in which we live and work, and delivering value to our clients through quality construction experiences. Founded in 1932, Messer's track record of success can be traced to past and present architectural icons and institutions located across the Midwest and Southeast that foster healing, learning, service, and innovation. It starts with an unwavering and sustained commitment to excellence and doing the right thing - building our projects safely, on-time, on-budget, and with the utmost of craftsmanship, innovation and care.

We are a company of builders who respect not only each other but also our business partners. We are passionate about keeping everyone safe.

The scholarship helps provide the cost of attendance - including tuition and other education support - for a Berea College student. Preference should be given to the most qualified minority candidate who is interested in the 3-2 Engineering Dual Degree Program with an interest in Civil Engineering or candidates who express interest in construction as a career from other programs such as Business Administration. Note: The Berea scholarship funds will become available approximately fall 2021. Having this application criteria today can help you or your student make plans for potential funding if Berea is a college of choice for you.

Messer has been doing construction using the general contractor (GC) delivery method since 1932. Our in-house cost planning and estimating department has up-to-the-minute marketplace pricing, allowing us to competitively bid projects. During the past five years, nearly 20% of our annual revenue has been from design-build projects. Our extensive design-build experience includes work for health care, higher education, public, military, and commercial clients. Our breadth and depth of design-build experience will ensure you have the benefit of best practices from across the industry.
