What Mid State Construction Company, Inc. does

Mid State Construction Company, Inc. is a privately held general contracting firm founded in 1958 and headquartered in Jackson, Mississippi. The company delivers industrial, commercial, and institutional construction projects across the southeast United States through four core service lines: General Contracting, Design/Build, Construction Management, and a 'Team Approach' methodology that integrates design consultation, budgeting and estimating, ongoing cost feedback during design, and computerized critical-path scheduling (CPM). It employs approximately 39 people and operates under the motto 'We Build Trust,' with direct enterprise sales targeting owners, architects, developers, and government entities.

The business model is project-based, one-time contract revenue with pricing determined through bidding, proposals, and guaranteed maximum price (GMP) arrangements. Mid State does not use resellers or intermediaries; all project acquisition is through direct relationships with clients, architects, and design professionals. The customer base spans seven verticals — financial services, healthcare, education, government and civic, religious, commercial, and historical restoration — with named projects ranging from bank branches and credit unions to the University of Mississippi Medical Center, Entergy Transmission Headquarters, Madison and Ridgeland City Halls, and K-12 schools. Subcontractor pre-qualification and vendor solicitation are conducted internally, and the firm retains its own workforce for major construction components rather than relying entirely on external trades.

Mid State is currently led by its third generation of ownership: Jason Parkes (President), Austin Hudson (Vice President), and Jason Crews (Secretary Treasurer), following founder H.T. Ware and T.S. Weems (1958) and the second-generation leadership of Billy Ware (joined 1974) and P.G. Bernheim. Technology adoption is centered on standard construction project management (CPM scheduling) plus a Plan Room document-distribution platform; there are no disclosed AI/ML, software-as-a-service, or technology-product revenue streams. The company does not disclose financial figures and operates without institutional investment, private equity, or parent company affiliation.
