Markets We Serve
Metropolitan Build provides design-build construction services in St. Louis and throughout the Midwest for a wide range of commercial and institutional clients. Our expertise in renovation, restoration, and expansion allows us to tailor each project to the specific operational, regulatory, and aesthetic needs of your industry.
Our Design-Build Construction Process
Whether you need end-to-end support or a contractor for a specific phase, Metropolitan Build delivers.
Program Development
We begin by conducting an in-depth assessment of your vision, objectives, and available resources, while carefully considering budgetary constraints and specific benefits and challenges of the site. This analysis informs the development of a comprehensive program document, which serves as a guide for the project’s continued progress.
Preliminary Design, Budgeting, and Pre-Construction
We conduct feasibility studies, assist in pro forma development, identify specific supplemental funding sources, assemble a highly qualified team, and initiate preliminary design work. At every stage, we ensure that the project aligns with program requirements, functional objectives, design standards, and budgetary constraints.
Design Build Construction
Once construction is underway, we execute the pre-construction plan with precision, upholding the highest standards of care, quality, and craftsmanship. We oversee every facet of the renovation, ensuring seamless coordination among contractors and specialists.
Post-Construction and Project Support
Our post-construction services encompass warranty management that ensures long-term peace of mind regarding the health and performance of your building, as well as additional renovations or expansions.

Frequently Asked Questions
What Our Customers Say
“Metropolitan worked very well with us in completing this expansion. They were very timely with their meetings and relaying to us the timeline of the project and potential delays. In my opinion, they performed A+. I couldn’t have asked for more.”
Campbell House Museum | St. Louis, MO | Andy Hahn Executive Director Interview“Working with Metropolitan, the communication that I got from them, at least weekly, and at times daily, with project updates and where we stood, photos of the project was just so impressive to me. I would recommend Metropolitan to anyone that I know for a particular project, and would absolutely use them for future projects.”
Starkloff Disability Institute | St. Louis, MO | Brian Chao, Chief Financial Officer“The reason we chose to work with Metropolitan Build was that we needed a builder and a general contractor that could go and take an existing building, find what are the good bones left there, and then take that to the very high level of finish that we were looking for, and they did it in a cost-effective way. They knew were to spend to dollars and cents, vs. hey I can get you that same look, but save you a lot of money and time with that.”
Micron Pure | Fenton, MO | John Bergida, Chief Executive Officer“I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to the team at Metropolitan Build for the work you have performed for our offices spaces and Business Development Center. You produced a beautiful finished space that we and the State’s staff and the executive team are all proud of.”
Better Family Life | St. Louis, MO | DeBorah A., Executive Director“Metropolitan Build, with owner Jay Simon and his team, have proven to be a highly valued consultant and design build general contractor for us at the historic Castaneda Frisco building in downtown St Louis. Metropolitan has provided inspired design coupled with skilled renovation services for several of our office suites. We’re very pleased that all projects have been completed ahead of schedule and within the constraints of our budget.”
Nicolas C. | St. Louis, MO“Having never taken on any challenge of this sort, I found myself wrestling with inner fears. When any group of people trust you to lead them to the right choice or decision, the responsibility of getting it right weighs on you. After receiving proposals from three contractors, we were impressed that Mr. Jay Simon and this team at Metropolitan Build were the “Right Choice”. WE GOT IT RIGHT! For the last ten years, I constantly hear Parents commenting on how beautiful the building is. (I smile every-time!) I am so grateful that Our Ministry was directed to Metro Build.”
