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. Wilson. “This isn’t a one-size-fits-all model—our Special Projects Division enables faster response times, precise budgeting and streamlined processes for clients with unique needs.”

Past clients include Anheuser-Busch, Cushman & Wakefield, Fox Sports St. Louis, Nestlé Purina PetCare and the University of Missouri—St. Louis.

“This new leadership reflects our commitment to providing Amazing Client Experiences and going Beyond the Build for every client—no matter the size or scope of the project,” added Yazbec.

S. M. Wilson brings a long-standing tradition of self-performing work as a reliable builder. Our team will also assess each project from a hands-on perspective, equipped with the expertise to self-perform key scopes, including concrete foundations, rough and finish carpentry, selective demolition, temporary protection, cleanup and miscellaneous specialties.
