Midwest Construction Group

Midwest Construction Group was founded in 2009 in response to a growing need for capacity growth in the Women and Minority Business Enterprise (W/MBE) construction community.  Historically W/MBE construction firms have had a relatively small market share in the public and private construction market.  With the large shift from privately funded projects to publicly funded projects with diversity goals, it is more important than ever to ensure W/MBE firms have the capacity to work on these projects.  

• Relationship Building:  Firms which are now venturing into public work may not have the relationships with Women and Minority Owned firms needed to fulfill diversity goals.  On the other hand, smaller firms may not have the much needed relationships with larger firms to obtain access to bid opportunity or may need assistance to promote their company.  We at MCG help to facilitate and create long lasting relationships.

• Capacity Growth:  A major hurdle for not only W/MBE's but most small businesses is the building of their capacity to ensure that they can not only complete the project on time and on budget but to keep up with the administrative functions necessary to keep the job going smoothly.  MCG assists to facilitate partnerships between companies to both save administrative costs and pool their resources to work on larger projects.

• Governmental Consultation:  MCG works very closely with governmental entities to create innovative ways to increase Women and Minority participation as well as improve internal contract compliance methods and practices.  MCG currently has an ongoing contract with MN/Dot to assist small Women and Minority Owned businesses through the DBE certification process. 

• Administrative Services:   We at MCG believe that the back office is just as important as being out in the field so we have created a streamlined back office for our small contractor clients.  We handle everything from certified payroll to bookkeeping to financial reporting.  We have found that sharing a common back office saves money on overhead which makes our clients more competitive in their bids.
