Landry/French Construction has announced the acquisition of MH Williams Construction Group, a construction company based in Melbourne, Florida, US, for an undisclosed amount. 

The move is expected to benefit both entities. 

MH Williams will gain access to Landry/French's preconstruction, building information modelling (BIM) and virtual design and construction (VDC) services.

The latest deal will also help Landry/French broaden its geographical footprint. 

Established in 1987, MH Williams has a presence in Brevard County, with more than 37 years of service.  

Under the continued leadership of MH Williams president Mike Williams Jr, the company will retain its name. 

Additionally, employees of MH Williams will join the Landry/French Employee Stock Ownership Plan.

Landry/French Construction CEO and chairperson Kevin French said: “As part of the firm’s growth strategy, Landry/French has been actively seeking to acquire a firm and expand geographically for almost two years. We were impressed by MH Williams’ great reputation, and our cultures and core values aligned.” 

Williams Jr said: “The partnership is an ideal fit for MH Williams, its employees, and our clients, and will provide the resources and financial strength to compete for larger, more complex construction projects. I’m excited about our future and the opportunities it will present to our employees and clients. I look forward to what we can achieve together.” 

MH Williams has a diverse portfolio of projects on Florida’s Space Coast, including office buildings, data centres for Fortune 500 companies, and developments across the healthcare, education, aviation, and hospitality sectors.  

The announcement follows an event where Landry/French Construction joined the City of Augusta for the ribbon-cutting ceremony of the new Police Station on 10 April this year.  

The grand opening celebrated the completion of the $20.5m facility, which is situated across from the City Hall on Willow Street.
