Scarborough, ME Landry/French Construction has completed the acquisition of MH Williams Construction Group, a Melbourne, Florida-based construction firm, established in 1987.

Having served Brevard County for over 37 years, MH Williams will continue under the leadership of Mike Williams, Jr., and retain its name. The acquisition will be mutually beneficial, with MH Williams leveraging Landry/French’s deep resources and capabilities in preconstruction, Building Information Modeling (BIM), and Virtual Design & Construction (VDC), while allowing Landry/French to expand its geographical reach. MH Williams employees will join the Landry/French Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP).

“As part of the firm’s growth strategy, Landry/French has been actively seeking to acquire a firm and expand geographically for almost two years. We were impressed by MH Williams’ great reputation, and our cultures and core values aligned,” said Kevin French, CEO and chairman of Landry/French Construction.  “Joining the two companies will be mutually beneficial.”

“This marks an exciting new chapter for the company,” said Williams, Jr., president of MH Williams. “The partnership is an ideal fit for MH Williams, its employees, and our clients, and will provide the resources and financial strength to compete for larger, more complex construction projects. I’m excited about our future and the opportunities it will present to our employees and clients. I look forward to what we can achieve together.”

For nearly four decades, MH Williams has completed hundreds of successful projects in Florida’s Space Coast, including high-tech office buildings and data centers for Fortune 500 companies as well as healthcare, education, aviation, and hospitality projects.
