A Purpose & Strategy for Sustained Growth

Constructive Solutions For Your Building Program

MCR Services, Inc. is the result of the desire to create and operate a dynamic general contracting firm, with these basic goals:

• To remove the mystery from the building process™
• To improve the image of the construction professional
• To build strong project teams for top-notch project planning & execution
• To put the needs of the customer first, with a caring attitude, in order to create lasting relationships

An Initial Focus on Management

For our first two years, in order to help us properly develop the firm, we focused on Management. This helped us recruit a strong team, establish key industry relationships and minimize our initial capital outlays. At this point in our development, we offered Construction Management, Consultation and Training. The M-C-R equation soon “balanced” and today fluctuates to meet the demands of the market. We continue improving our operations, while delivering high-quality projects—safely, on-time and within budget.

Strong Foundations

The "Basement" Years

MCR Services started in September 1994 as a partnership between Wade F. Hungerford and a friend from Columbus State. After working at other construction firms, they wanted to create a dynamic company with the mission of removing the mystery from the building process. They believed that the construction experience had to be transparent and make sense to everyone involved.

On January 3, 1995, the partnership was officially incorporated and began securing work from their first offices. Any new business must build on good “foundations” and we were no different: Our first headquarters were in the basement of Wade’s old home near German Village. One of the first projects undertaken by the fledgling company was the upgrade of the existing limestone cellar into a functional, comfortable home office—albeit one prone to seasonal flooding and playful visits by the Hungerford’s two Jack Russell Terriers.

The “Basement" Years saw two additional upgrades of the space, further “intrusions” into the Hungerford home and long working hours. The occasional home-cooked meal by Wade’s wife, Robin, was a welcome perk for the first couple employees.

Moving Away From Home

By late 1996, we had outgrown the basement, co-opted the garage and started taking over the rest of the house. In order to preserve domestic tranquility—and Wade’s marriage—we moved into a small business condo near Franklin University and began expansion.

Growing with our Clients

A Place of our Own

In 1998, we started negotiations to buy a stand-alone building. Later that year, with the initial renovations finished, we moved into this facility, taking half the space and leasing the remainder.

In 2007, after a major expansion, we occupied the entire facility.

We build lasting relationships with our clients and we have grown with them.
