ST. LOUIS, MO—S. M. Wilson & Co. has new leadership for Special Projects, providing efficient and expert construction services for fast-paced, turn-key projects. The division will focus on tenant improvements, renovations, additions, repairs and core/shell construction, offering clients flexible and efficient delivery for specialized needs.
This relationship-focused division will be led by Steve Meeks, now Vice President of Special Projects, Estimating and Preconstruction. Meeks brings 35+ years of experience in project management and preconstruction. With 30+ years of industry experience, Bernie Burtch will serve as the division’s Project Director.
“Steve and Bernie’s deep industry knowledge and relationship-driven approach make them the ideal team to lead this effort,” said Mike Yazbec, President of S. M.
