About MCS & Associates
We hold no contract with the architect or the construction manager on your project.
MCS & Associates has represented Ohio public owners since the firm was formed, on a foundation of 30+ years in public service. Most of our work is K-12, where a construction dollar spent badly is a dollar that never reaches a classroom. We keep projects on schedule and on budget so superintendents, treasurers and boards can spend their attention on the district instead of on the job site.
Multiple Services. One Provider.
Three services, one team, one point of accountability from the first estimate to the final punch list.

- Financial forecasts
- Internal control systems
- Audit support
Project Management
One team representing the district through design, bidding, construction and turnover, answering to you and to nobody else on the job.

- Construction administration
Post Construction
Warranty claims, inspections and occupancy, handled after the contractor’s crew has gone home and the phone stops getting answered.

Who we serve
What districts say about us

Superintendent, Pickaway-Ross Career & Technology Center
The MCS Difference
Experience
30+ years in Ohio public construction, most of it spent on the other side of these projects. We have sat where the state sits, where the district sits, and on enough job sites to know which promises get kept.
Advocacy
We hold no contract with the architect or the construction manager on your project. Everyone else at that table is working for somebody. We are working for you.
Technical Knowledge
We read the drawings, the specifications, the change orders and the pay applications, and we tell you what they actually say. A district should never have to take a technical answer on faith.
Community
These are your buildings and your neighbors, and most of our clients are an hour from our office. We are still going to run into you at the game after the project closes.
Who we work for
42 Ohio public owners since the firm was formed, from single-building districts to state agencies. Projects from $3 million to $216 million, over $1.8 billion in construction.
