What we do
The whole build, under one roof.
Ber Wilson is a design-build and EPC contractor. Nine capabilities, arranged in the order a project actually moves through them: development, design, and preconstruction before anything is built, the trades we self-perform in the middle, and the power and delivery that make a facility work.
Read left to right and the argument is visible without a word of body copy: the project never leaves the company.
How to work with us
Three ways in.
Most firms publish what they do and who they do it for. The question people actually arrive with is how they would engage.
As your design-build contractor
You have a project and you need it designed and built. One contract covers both, with ground up vertical and civil work and the steel and MEP self-performed. We also deliver Design-Bid-Build and CMAR.
Start a project →As your steel supplier
You have your own construction capability and you want the structural system. Buy roof trusses, floor trusses, wall panels, and complete framing kits direct.
See prefab steel →As a joint venture partner
You have capital and a mandate. We co-develop, contribute origination and execution, and stay in the deal as an owner.

Capabilities, in lifecycle order.
Plan & Fund
Before a shovel moves, the deal has to work. We originate, entitle, and structure the capital ourselves.
Development
We originate projects, carry them through entitlement, and structure the capital that funds them.
- Master planning
- Land and entitlement
- Capital structuring and underwriting
Design & Preconstruction
We lead the design team, price the work, and resolve the conflicts on paper where they are cheap to fix.
- Design management and A/E coordination
- Estimating and budgeting
- Value engineering
- Constructability review
Build
The critical path stays in house. We self-perform the steel and the MEP, so schedule risk is ours to control, not a subcontractor's to explain.
Design-Build, EPC & General Contracting
Design, procurement, and construction under one contract, with the ground up vertical and the site and civil work under it.
- Design-Build and EPC delivery
- Ground up vertical construction
- Site, civil, and infrastructure
- Design-Bid-Build and CMAR
Prefab Steel Manufacturing
We manufacture the structure ourselves, so the schedule is a production decision rather than a supplier's promise.
- Cold formed steel systems
- Self-performed steel scope
- Schedule certainty
MEP & Self-Performed Trades
Mechanical, electrical, and plumbing performed in house, because that is where schedules actually fail.
- Mechanical and HVAC
- Electrical and power distribution
- Plumbing and process piping
Power & Deliver
A building without power is a liability. We generate on site, harden the facility, and stay in for the operating life.
Energy & Power
On-site generation for projects where the grid interconnect is the long pole.
- On-site generation
- Solid oxide fuel cells
- Microgrids and resilience
Technology & Data Centers
Data centers and hardened facilities, with the power and cooling delivered by the same company.
- Hyperscale and edge data centers
- Resilient and hardened facilities
- Power and cooling integration
Mission Critical Facilities
Buildings that are not allowed to stop, with the power and the systems that keep them running.
- Redundant power and mechanical systems
- Hardening and continuity of operations
- Commissioning against the real failure case
Housing Systems
Engineered steel housing at scale, built for ourselves and supplied to developers doing the same.
- Engineered steel housing
- Workforce and attainable housing
- Developer supply
- GSA Approved Builder
- USACE Quality Management Certified
- NAVFAC
- VA
- Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force & Coast Guard
- LEED Certified
- American Steel, Made in USA
Not sure which part you need?
Describe the project and we will tell you which parts of the stack apply, and honestly which ones do not.
