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.
Our Core Values
-
Integrity
For us, integrity means do the right thing. It means treating everyone with fairness. It means honoring what is fair and right and behaving with this principle in mind.
Mayer Building Company is the fairest contractor you will know.
-
Transparency
Fully itemized estimates, change order back up, creative solutions, collaboration with project stakeholders, real time photo reporting.
Transparency can be found in the above processes, but what it means to us is we are fair with you and we can prove it.
-
Value
We provide great value to our customers by competitive bidding, by nimble administration, and by sometimes being able to return savings to owners. That’s really not the heart of it though: Value as a Core Value means to us something deeper.
We are inspired by a respectful sense of being integral to the success of not just your project, but also your business. Value means we will be an asset for you.
We also will convey to you a tangible asset (your new space) so that your business sees a flourishing return on investment.
Our Purpose
To be an integral part of what makes your business succeed. To enhance your business, to tell your story through successful place-making.
Our Vision
To be your partner/teammate/confidante in the commercial construction aspect of your business.
We go after jobs others overlook. We seek the relationship.
We seek clients who recognize the intimacy and value for money & time that we provide.
We want to be profitable.
We want our employees to grow and succeed.
Our Mission
To provide high quality construction and renovation delivered with fairness, enthusiasm and good value as well as providing a stable, friendly work environment.
