Building Experience in Our City & State

New Orleans has more than 300 years of history and culture packed into its city streets and iconic architecture. With all that beautiful history comes a unique set of challenges to protect the buildings and infrastructure that keep the city running. At Mayer Building Company, we know what it takes to keep construction projects on schedule and within budget—without sacrificing the great responsibility of preserving New Orleans’ heritage and historic architecture. We take pride in delivering effective results for our commercial clients and building long-lasting relationships with the local businesses that will help build the future of our city.

New Orleans’ businesses gain many benefits by preserving the historic architecture of the city. According to realtor.com®, the value of historic properties is expected to increase by 5 to 35% in the next 10 years. At MBC, we specialize in general contracting and construction management for historic renovations, and we can expedite the permitting process and help you access tax credits available for this type of project. We work with clients to transform unused and decrepit buildings into stunning office spaces, mixed-use developments, schools, and investment properties.

In addition to our experience with historic properties, we love helping clients achieve their goals for retail spaces, design/build projects, and other commercial spaces. We specialize in health care, hospitality, and boutique build-outs, and we were delighted to be chosen as a 2019 “Excellence in Construction and Real Estate” honoree by New Orleans CityBusiness. We’re a small, local contractor with the internal processes of a large-scale company, which assures you the one-on-one attention you deserve. Combined with our team of certified project managers, controllers, and skilled craftsmen, Mayer Building Company will bring your project to life. Give us a call at 504-315-8423 to request a bid or schedule an appointment with our team today.

Not only does New Orleans’ business community build with us, state and national brands do too.
