Defining “Design-Build”

The Design Build Institute of America defines “Design/Build” this way: “It is a method of project delivery in which one entity – the design-build team – works under a single contract with the project owner to provide design and construction services. One entity, one contract, one unified flow of work from initial concept through completion.” Mayer […]

Obviously we’ve seen much worse in New Orleans.

We even got the flooded Mayer Building Company office at West End cleaned up in a pretty quick manner. I’m […]

Safety is a Priority

Two of the most important tools any builder can give to staff and field opertaives is adequate on-the-job training and a safe working environment to prevent work-place injuries. At Mayer Building Company, these tools are in place. Among other practices, our forces are equipped with common sense safety equipment like eye and ear protection, dust masks, and […]

The Rev’d Canon John A. Kellogg, THE EPISCOPAL DIOCESE OF LA

I just want to thank you and your staff for going above and beyond during this build out process. With us being in a different city, y’all have been awesome to work with. Y’all have accommodated every change within our construction window and have helped us greatly on things that couldn’t have gotten done without you and your staff’s help. Thanks so much. It is greatly appreciated.

Philip Jacobson, WEXNER COMPANIES/JOSEPH

Thank you very much for doing such a great job. The rooms look great and the inconvenience to us was minimal at worst. Your personnel was friendly and easy to work with. Fred was really great. We are very pleased with the result. Thank you and I hope to work with you again on another project.

Lehan Wilson, HOMEOWNER

I was concerned about doing a renovation at a place that was many states away from where I lived. I needed someone that I could count on and could handle every aspect of the renovation. I also required someone who was familiar with the permit requirements for an historical building in New Orleans….I would highly recommend Ryan Mayer to any potential client. I was extrememly pleased with the work he performed and would use him again for any additional contracting needs that I may have.

Margie Dominach

We are always excited to partner up with MBC to work on our new location developments or redesigns,
as we can always count on quality, timeliness, and most importantly, the right level of communication
in the client relationship.
As we grow City Greens, we look forward to working with the Mayer Building Company in the very near future.

Abhi Bhansali, CITY GREENS

It is with pleasure, and of my own initiative, I am writing this letter of gratitude
for the work you and your company performed at 4905-11 Magazine Street.

As the architect of that renovation, I worked closely with you, your superintendent
Fred Goodrow, and your staff during the months of construction. Your knowledge, experience, and good judgement, and that of your
employees, were critical in addressing these issues and contributed significantly
to the successful completion of the work.

Both the building owner and I are very proud of the results and are grateful to
you and your staff for a job very well done. I sincerely look forward to the next
time it is my good fortune to work with you.

Brooks Graham, GRAHAM LITTLE STUDIO

Thanks for everything, Ryan! We look forward to working with you again in the future.

Jewelynn Nice, TRINITY EPISCOPAL SCHOOL

We found the team at Mayer Building Company to be communicative,
eﬃcient, and responsive throughout our project. Capsule was able to
eﬀectively remotely manage this project extremely eﬀectively, resulting in an
on time delivery with only very minimum punch list. Please accept this letter
as recognition of your company’s evident skills in construction
management, quality control and safety.
