McCree General Contractors & Architects

What McCree General Contractors & Architects does

McCree General Contractors & Architects is a fourth-generation, family-owned design-build firm headquartered in Orlando, Florida, founded in 1926. The company delivers integrated architecture, engineering, and construction services to commercial, institutional, and public-sector clients across Central Florida — including Orange, Seminole, Brevard, Volusia, and Osceola Counties — with a secondary office in Leesburg. Its service portfolio spans design-build, general contracting, construction management, architecture and engineering, feasibility studies, owner's representative services, and self-performing trades via its wholly-owned subsidiary MDR, Inc., which handles millwork and custom cabinetry. The firm's primary vertical exposures are healthcare systems, educational institutions, government and public safety facilities, religious and nonprofit organizations, entertainment venues, and retail/commercial clients.

The underlying technology is a hybrid of integrated design-build methodology and physical construction innovation. The firm's signature "Concept to Keys™" process combines regulatory review, design, value engineering, subcontractor bidding, and construction under a single contract, supported by ProCore cloud-based project management for real-time tracking, RFIs, submittals, and client access. McCree also operates a proprietary pre-cast wall panel system — patented, missile-impact tested to exceed Dade County hurricane standards, and capable of installation three days after foundation pouring — which compresses schedules by approximately one month versus conventional methods. The team is fluent in both LEED and Green Globes certification frameworks for sustainable construction outcomes.

McCree generates revenue through project-based, quote-driven contracts ranging from under $100,000 to over $20 million per engagement, with services billed on a pay-as-you-go cadence per project milestones. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales targeting healthcare systems, school districts, government entities, and large nonprofit/religious institutions, augmented by feasibility studies as a top-of-funnel lead generation mechanism. The firm reports 98% of construction volume sourced from repeat clients, with operational claims of 100% on-budget delivery for 10 years, 100% on-time completion for 10 years, and design-build estimates within 3% of final cost for 5 years. No public revenue figures, funding rounds, or external investment are disclosed; the company operates as a private, family-controlled enterprise celebrating its centennial beginning January 2026.

4. Architecture & Engineering Services: Standalone architectural and engineering design services offered through their design-build process, including due diligence and feasibility studies.
5. Self-Performing Trades: In-house millwork, cabinetry, and mill shop services through subsidiary company MDR, Inc., providing custom millwork for projects.
