Overview

Merit is the general contractor of choice throughout Iowa communities. We're known for bringing experience and leadership to every building project. We provide services in general contracting, construction management, design-build, pre-construction, project management and safety. We have vast experience in new construction, remodeling and renovation. For nearly four decades, our buildings have been as much a part of Iowa's landscape as cornfields and cows. We don't just build in Iowa; we live in Iowa. We raise our families here and we donate our time, money and energy to the wonderful organizations that make our communities great. Merit employees are involved hands-on with Boy Scouts of America, Rotary International, Salvation Army, Friendship Force International, youth sports, American Red Cross, National Association of Women in Construction, and Special Olympics of Iowa, just to name a few. We deliver quality results on time and within budget. We develop an understanding of each client's goals to help them arrive at the best value decisions for their investment. We manage the construction process by assembling a team of local professionals that consistently adds value, controls costs and maintains quality throughout design, construction and beyond. We're experienced, responsive and community-minded. We're already your neighbor. Now we'd like to be your builder. Our areas of expertise include office buildings, churches, schools, medical and assisted living facilities, colleges, retail centers, recreation facilities and hotels/motels.
