TechBirmingham is proud to announce our new member company, Stewart Perry. Today we are here with Merrill Stewart, President of Stewart Perry. Check out what Merrill has to say about Birmingham’s growing tech scene.

We are so glad you joined the TechBirmingham Community Merrill! Tell us about your company Stewart Perry.

In 1984, Stewart Perry began operations primarily focused on retail construction services. Today the company provides services within several other sectors as well. Our management team consists of building and financial professionals, operating from a LEED certified headquarters situated on a 16-acre campus. We have provided building services in 23 states, and we are registered or hold a license in 29 states. Depending on the needs of the client, our services include Preconstruction Services, General Contracting, Design-Build, Construction Management (CM) and Civil Management.

What do you think is the biggest challenge in your industry?

The construction industry is up against labor force challenges right now.

What is the most exciting trend you see in the Birmingham Tech Scene? 

Emerging tech companies mean bright young people are either choosing to move here, or not move away.

How do you see the Birmingham Tech Scene evolving?

We are continuing to mature as we gain traction. In the process, we will continue to see more capital will flow in.

What exciting news or product/service announcements does your company have on the horizon?

We launched a new website in September 2017, and migrated our “Beyond the Build” blog into the website just last week.

What kind of impact do you want to make with your involvement in TechBirmingham?

I hope to have a hand in the continued growth of the economy in Birmingham, which will spur even more job growth.

What advice would you give to a person starting out in your industry or in the work force?

Start slow. Generally speaking, things always take twice as long as you think to accomplish, and double the money.
