Dave Meyer Speaks to Kansas City DBIA Chapter

At an early breakfast on Wednesday morning September 12, a selection of Kansas City’s architects and engineers who are a part of the Kansas City Chapter of DBIA, gathered to listen to a presentation from Meyer Companies co-owner and ABC’s chairman, Dave Meyer.

Mr. Meyer has held the position of this organization which is made up of over 24,000 construction firms, since January of this year. As ABC’s chairman, Mr. Meyer represents the nations construction firms and promotes things such as open competition and free-enterprise based on merit, regardless of labor affiliation.

Mr. Meyer has found himself traveling across the country with ABC’s message and had the privilege of introducing President George W. Bush to the national ABC community at their national gathering.

Today Mr. Meyer wore two hats. First, as the ABC chairman, and second as an Owner/General Contractor.

Addressing topics of design-build and how his company, The Meyer Companies, has incorporated site-cast tilt-up concrete to their arsenal to enhance quality-control, time-control, and cost-control.

The first of two projects that Mr. Meyer addressed was their current office complex, the Business Exchange, located at 200 NE. Missouri Rd, in Lee’s Summit, MO. Mr. Meyer talked on the different challenges that an owner can face in the design-build process, and how site-cast tilt-up concrete was the solution.

The second highlighted project was the elite Briarcliff Village. This 135,000 square foot edifice is located in North Kansas City, MO. Mr. Meyer presented this project from the General Contractor’s perspective and provided a good case as to how site-cast tilt-up concrete was the best solution to manage the difficulties that this project presented.
